Project Description
UMD Cartographer will be a mobile application that would not only help inform students of when the next UMD shuttle would arrive at a certain stop, but also help students coordinate the best route to go from point A to point B. Route planning will be context sensitive similar to Google Maps--does the user want to walk, use public transport, or drive with their scooter or car? Does the student want to remain indoor as much as possible, or do they prefer not trekking through buildings? A feature we want to implement for our app is to have users upload their own personal routes for getting to certain locations so that other users can be recommended those shortcuts. Users can upvote or downvote uploaded shortcuts so the most upvoted shortcut would appear higher up on the list of available routes that would help users go from A to B. Our goal is to have an app that does this and not only help students at UMD, but faculty members, students with physical impairments, and visitors to the campus.
