GreenMaps

GreenMaps is an app aimed to reduce CO2 in transportation

Demo

Project Link

NOTE: This is a dev version, which is why the CO2 score is random. The API used to calculate the score is limited and I am on a free trial. I also forgot to program the price calculator

Purpose

• GreenMaps is made to show pros and cons of different methods of transport
• GreenMaps shows prices, CO2 Emmsions, time and distance for several transportation methods
• Transportation methods include walking, biking, car, Uber, bus, and train
• It also gives directions for car routes

Tech Stack and Tools

• JS/HTML/CSS
• Python
• ArcGIS
• ReactJS
• Leaflet
• Open Source Routing Machine
• Carbon Interface API
• Geocode API
• FastAPI
• Uvicorn

Process

Server

• The client is hosted on Netlify
• Client communicates with server, which is hosted on vercel
• Server communcates with geocode API and Carbon Interface API
• Server sends info to Client

CO2 Score Calculation

• CO2 score is simple
• Retrieve all CO2 emmisions in grams using server
• normalize between 0 and 1 using min max normalization
• convert to percent (x100)
• hard set walking and biking to 100

Time Calculation

• Times are calculated very simply right now, by multiplying the provided value for car with a ratio
