The problem
Standard routing ignores landslides and seasonal closures in hills.
What to build
Create a router that incorporates closure reports and terrain risk to pick safer routes.
Success looks like
Safe routes returned around seeded closures and a contribution flow to report new ones.
Suggested technologies
- Graph routing
- Crowd-sourced hazards
- OpenStreetMap
- Risk weighting
- APIs
