Lightpath

Change of name to BrightPath in progress

Live routing demo

The live routing demo is a proof of concept of the custom routing algorithm. Click the map to set start and end positions to see the routing algorithm in progress https://subr3.csb.app/

Abstract

LightPath is an application used to find routes through the city that are well lit, to avoid dark pathways. The concept came from discussions I saw on twitter hoping for this problem to be solved by particularly women and queer people. The concept originally was to use computer vision along with Open Street Maps data to automate the classification of brightness. In the time we had, we were not able to implement the computer vision aspect, but we did make a custom routing algorithm which does use the light data from OSM to find routes that do not go down unlit roads. Our algorithm can also be quite easily adapted for finding the brightest route once we have the data available.
