South Florida Tech Hackathon 2020

Hello there! A few notes on the project:

• This is a React micro-app with a Node back-end service
• Step-by-step web-app allowing you to easily distribute map routing amongst multiple drivers
• View screenshots and flow of how this app works at #1
• App can be used at https://router-293714.uc.r.appspot.com/

Flow

1. Get agency name, number of drivers available and a spreadsheet of addresses
2. Parse addresses, get the latitude and longitude of every address
3. Initially, we wrote a shortest path algorithm (Dijkstra's algorithm). However, to obtain optimal routing (best, shortest), we are using a 3rd party API (speedyroute)
4. Create Google Maps embedded maps to display to user + create maps directions links
5. Display the routes to the user with options
6. User can then send the routing information through SMS messages and emails

APIs and Integrations

Twilio - SMS messages

Sendinblue - Email messages

SpeedyRoute - Travelling Salesman Problem but for multiple 'travellers' (https://www.speedyroute.com/faq.html)

Google Maps - Geocoding API to get latitude and longitude for all addresses

Google Maps Embed API

Ngrok - locally 'remote' deployments

App Engine - easy deployment testing (we deprecated using it, it was just easier to run off ngrok and same purpose for this project)

Important

• We have an auto-complete admin function used in the demo in order to efficiently display our web-apps functionality
