Carbon Footprint Efficient Routing

UBC CIC Generative AI and Sustainability Hackathon 2024

Overview

This project aims to find the most carbon footprint-efficient routes for transportation, specifically focusing on public transport options. The application retrieves route information and calculates the carbon emissions associated with each route, allowing users to select options that minimize their environmental impact.

Features

• Calculates estimated trip times and carbon footprints for various routes.
• Displays detailed route information, including bus lines, start and end stations, and geographic coordinates.
• Provides a visual representation of the route on a map.
• Offers users the option to select different vehicle types for more tailored results.

Data

The application retrieves routing data, including:

• Estimated trip time
• Departure and arrival times
• Carbon footprint (kg)
• Route details (bus lines and stations)
• Geographic coordinates for the route
