The COVID-19 pandemic has shut down the tourism industry. As a result, many vacation plans were ruined and hours of researching itineraries wasted. Our hope is to help travelers generate quick and effective travel itineraries to strengthen the local tourism industry when the time is right.
Velo automatically generates travel itineraries given a time-frame and attractions that the traveler wants to visit. The order of the schedule is determined in our back-end by an algorithm we designed.
Velo is a web application built with Flask and a Python backend.
To run, install the following dependencies with pip:
matplotlib
googlemaps
pandas
haversine
numpy
geopy
flask
shapely
sklearn
pip install [library-name]
To run the web application, navigate to the velo folder through terminal and enter:
python start.py
The web app will run on your local host which is typically at http://127.0.0.1:5000/, unless it has been changed. You can find your link in the terminal.
