Real World Travel Simulator. Drive Vehicles on 2D World Map

World Travel Simulator

Travel the world on a 2D map. Travel using cars and trains(work in progress).

This project serves as a learning tool for navigation and routing applications on real 2D geographical data

Technolgies Used

1. Frontend: React and React-leaflet (for mapping)
2. Routing Layer: Grahphopper Routing Engine
3. Authentication: Auth0
4. Payments: Stripe

world-travel-simulator's Issues

Improve train routes

1. Improve automatic selection of arrival and departure stations using sorting on stations list before matching nearest station.
2. Use better data source for Train stations and routes GeoJSON
3. Create algorithm for optimal train route between the departure and arrival stations using existing data
4. Change icon to train when train travel started

Add payment gateway (Stripe)

Charge payments before starting travel. based on travel cost calculated on basis of distance

Add train routes into the system

Currently only road routes are supported. Need to add routes of trains as well. Currently only Indian Railways routes will be supported for inter-state travels within india

Add weather display

Use openweathermap api to show current weather of destination where user is traveling

Add air routes into the system

Get a dataset of world airplane routes and use that to set routes for inter-country travels

Add authentication using Auth0

Use JWT in backend and Auth0 in react frontend to secure the APIs

Add vehicle booking feature

A random number of vehicles are generated in a radius of 50 KM around user's current location.
When booking process starts, the nearest vehicle is selected and begins approach towards user's location which becomes the pickup point.
The destination is set as per current flow and travel continues as per current flow.

Add 3D map layer for Leaflet viewer as a new navigation option

Add a new layer for leaflet from OSM Buildings This should be toggle-able.

Update navigation display logic as needed to travel along the route in the 3D map environment
