Fast. Track Uday Prakash Life Cycle Objectives CSE 403 A

Stuck in Traffic Most, if not all, of us have, at some point in time, been held up in traffic

Deficiencies of the Web l There are many websites that let the user find the fastest way to get between places – e. g. http: //www. mapquest. com. l There are many websites that tell the user the traffic conditions on any given street, freeway etc. – e. g. http: //www. wsdot. wa. gov/traffic/seattle.

Deficiencies of the Web (contd. ) l Surprisingly, there are no websites that let the user find the fastest path based on the traffic conditions at that point in the day.

About Fast. Track l Fast. Track will take the starting point and destination point, and then go through its database and find all possible paths between those two points using a smart graph algorithm (e. g. Dijkstra’s). l Fast. Track will find the path based on its database; the database will be in sync with time for quality purposes.

About Fast. Track (contd. ) l After finding out all the paths between the two points, Fast. Track will, in realtime, find the time taken to go between the two points for each of the paths. l It will do this by using the real-time traffic conditions.

Fast. Track – The Tough Part l Getting the real-time traffic conditions and then calculating the time taken to get between places is a challenge l Keeping the database up-to-date requires constant surveillance; it requires an eye for perfection

Who will use Fast. Track? l Everyone who commutes and doesn’t want to get stuck in traffic. l Everyone who wants to reach their destination as soon as possible.

Who will support Fast. Track? l As of now, just me. l More Software Developers required!! l More VCs required, too. l Contact me at uday 0210@cs. washington. edu.
