Senior Design (sddec 23-11)

Project Overview

Searching for a new home can be an exhausting and time-consuming process. It requires endless hours of browsing through numerous listings and websites to find the ideal area for residency. The process can be even more overwhelming if you're unfamiliar with the area. This is where our platform can make things easier. Our platform simplifies the home search process by allowing you to input your preferences, including your frequently visited places and then amount of visits for each. Our algorithm generates a heat-map of the most ideal living areas. You are able to plan your busy schedule more effectively. Additionally, the platform can help you locate an expansion for your private business. Ideal for daycare, physicians, dentists, and recurring customer base entities. This is done by calculating the average commute time for your recurring clientele through saved addresses. Our project prevents wasted time and undo frustration and stress using our unique algorithm to create a visually pleasing and natively intuitive heat map.
