Project Description

Your Guide Underground, https://tunul.netlify.app/

Navigating the Northeastern tunnels is confusing and sometimes quite frustrating. For example: Navigating from Curry to Snell classrooms is challenging due to insufficient signage guiding the way. Confusing signage prompts people to avoid using tunnels, preferring to walk above ground in harsh conditions instead. Our solution is a web-based tool to make cruising through the Northeastern tunnel maze a breeze for everyone.

Features

• Input origin and destination buildings and receive a list of steps to take, including how long each step is and the total time.

How We Built It

• Front-end
  • Tunul is built on Next.js, leveraging React and Tailwind CSS for the front-end.
  • The front-end design is kept simple, consisting of a single page with a popup for ease of use.
• Back-end
  • Employed Dijkstra’s algorithm, implemented in JavaScript, with a list of nodes stored using JSON.
  • While considering a potential transition to a relational database in the future, the JSON file currently serves as a sufficient proof of concept.
  • Development is managed using GitHub for version control, with distinct branches dedicated to new features.
