The green travel app combats several environmental challenges associated with traditional travel, it mainly aims to solve,
PROBLEM: Traditional travel contributes to significant carbon emisions which impacts the environment negatuvely and leads to climate change
SOLUTION: The AI powered app creates oppurtunities for you to make eco friendly choices in your journey across the world, see the world but not at the cost of the world. It providess eco friendly choices considering transportation, accomodation and activities with low carbon emission like rafting, trekking.
PROBLEM: Resource conservation, excessive wastage of drainable resources like fossil fuels, ecologically expensive trips and pollution
SOLUTION: Users are guided towards responsible tourism choices which are committed to sustainable practices. as most of the tourists do not rtealise about the harm they have caused to the ecologicsl system they are visiting for a few days, there is a large impact on their flora and fauna. Our app breaks down the carbon footprint a normal traditional footprint wuld have cost and how we are minimising and preventing such a huge loss or resources.
PROBLEM: Transportation Efficiency: Inefficient and conventional transportation choices which does not have any measure of the carbon emissions leading to unnecessary wastage of fossil fuels and money
SOLUTION: connects with local vendors providing bikes, electric buses giving the tourists options to travel in a ecologically gentler and sounder method. The planner helps users optimize transportation routes and modes, promotiong energy efficient eco-friendly options.
PROBLEM: Lack of educational awareness
SOLUTION: Lack of awareness about sustainable travel forms is a common hurdle. This app guides, helps and provides a platform to understand how ones actions impact the environment. The app suggests off peak time activites, hidden adventures away from touristy traps providing a wholesome and well-round experience.
Major problems we faced during the implementation of our idea of a sustainable travel planner application are:-
Problem 1
Implementing an Carbon Foot print calculator which provides feasible and sustainable travel options depending upon the estimated amount of carbon emissions in your entire vacation journey plan.
Solving approach:-
Creating a simple yet needed algorithm which calculates the carbon foot print of the journey depending upon the distance travelled, mode of transportation used by taking in consideration the total carbon emissions involved in the journey's each step.
Problem 2
Creating a interactive and attractive user interface
Solving approach:-
By using figma we wanted to make an attravtive UI/UX experience for the user and this proved to be challenging because of the time crunch and our reluctance to compromise ofn the user experience.
