Trax AI solves the problem of unpredictable weather impacting travel plans. Travelers often struggle to align their itineraries with weather conditions, leading to disruptions or missed opportunities. With Trax AI, users can seamlessly integrate weather forecasts into their trip planning process, making informed decisions on the best time to visit a location and optimizing their activities based on real-time weather data. This makes travel planning smarter, safer, and more efficient.
One major challenge I faced was handling date ranges effectively. Initially, filtering the weather data to match the user's selected date range was tricky, especially when dealing with overlapping days or time zones. I resolved this by implementing custom logic to process the data and ensure it matches the user’s specified timeframe. Another hurdle was the API limitations of OpenWeatherMap, which only provides forecasts for up to 5 days. To overcome this, I explored creative ways to present the data while maintaining accuracy and usefulness for travelers.
