πŸš—πŸŒ Can a navigation system recommend the most fuel-efficient route instead of simply the shortest one?
This project was developed as part of my MPhil Remote Sensing & GIS thesis.
I designed and developed an intelligent Web GIS routing system that generates and compares four alternative routes between an origin and destination and recommends the most suitable route using a Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) approach.
Instead of considering only distance, the system evaluates multiple factors such as:
β€’ 🌱 Fuel-efficiency / environmental suitability β€’ ⏱ Travel duration β€’ 🚧 Road hurdles and route conditions β€’ πŸ“ Travel distance
The alternatives are evaluated using a TOPSIS-based decision model, allowing the system to identify the route with the best overall balance rather than simply choosing the shortest path.
I also integrated an AI assistant that explains route recommendations in natural language, helping users understand why one route is preferable to the alternatives.
Key features:
β€’ Interactive Web GIS navigation β€’ Four-route generation and comparison β€’ MCDM/TOPSIS route ranking β€’ Fuel-efficient route recommendation β€’ Route distance and travel-time analysis β€’ Road-condition / hurdle consideration β€’ AI-generated route explanations β€’ Interactive route visualization β€’ Decision-support interface for sustainable mobility
Built with Python, Django, GIS, Leaflet/OpenStreetMap, MCDM and AI integration.
This research explores how GIS + decision science + AI can support smarter and more sustainable urban mobility.
