Problem Statement
In today's fast-paced world, travelers often face challenges in planning efficient and optimized routes for their journeys. Manual route planning can be time-consuming and prone to overlooking real-time factors such as traffic or unexpected road closures.
To address this, there is a need for an App that calculates routes, and provides users time-saving paths for their journeys.

At first I began to research and analyse data from various sources. After getting to know the issues, I defined what problems are the most common and problematic.
Then I started to think of solutions to the major problems and made wireframes. I decided to make an app and after the idea was clear, I started to prototype.
At the end, I presented my idea to the class.

User Journey
“Let’s begin
the trip”
“What activities
should I do...”
“I don’t know
where to go...”
“So
confusing..!”
“Finally booked
the hotel!!”
*Searches
on Google*
Problems while planning could be lack of reliable information about places & activities, search for food & hotels
Issues during booking are bad service leading to frustration. Lack of information about credibility,
which lead to payment hassles and higher expenses.
I need to book everything separately and can’t do activities I didn’t book
in advance
I don’t know, what kind of activities I should do while I’m traveling
I want to travel without hassle.
Planning was always
a weakness for me
I have a limited budget
and need to plan accordingly
To Summarise,
most people drive car while traveling and while planning, they don’t know where to go therefore need to research. This process can be very exhausting and time consuming.
People don’t know, what to do exactly.
And also after finding all the places, they start booking everything separately and can’t get an overview, how much they are spending.
For people with limited budget, this can be very frustrating.
Design Phase
Mid-fidelity Wireframe
I started to collect ideas how I could solve the issue of research and budget
The idea was an app that suggest a travel route through the help of artificial intelligence. At first the user is being asked about the preferences etc. and then a route is being suggested.
I also thought of adding a feedback section, where the user can give feedback so the AI can learn what the user likes most.
Several questions are being asked for the AI to know your preferences and then calculate a suitable route.
First you need to enter where you want to start and end your trip and then you can select the time frame and enter your budget for the trip.
After all that, you can add tags. You can type in your wishes for the trip or what you want to do.
While you travel you will see the sky and ocean and you feel refreshing
The blue color represents exactly this feeling.
The feeling of freedom.

After the calculation process, a route is being recommended to the user. Recommended locations can be changed by clicking the edit button and you can either delete or add new locations.
If you want to restart the question process, you just need to click the „calculate route“ button on the bottom-left corner.
When you press on one of the locations, you can see the description of that place.
when you further scroll down, similar locations are suggested to you,
so you can decide for yourself.
To book your trips, you need to scrool down and press „Book“.
After that you can Checkout and Pay with your Card.
you can search routes other travellers did already and when you like a certain route, you can like those.
On the profile page are previous routes and liked routes listed.
