Tag-Along

Inspiration

One of our teamates has to travel often, and it can be hard to find accomodating public transportation. therefore we thought of a way to use carpool in a efficient way

What it does

its a proof of concept for an algorithm that makes makes an area around 2 users (the driver and the hitchhiker) and check if the path they are using is compatible for carpool.

How we built it

We display the graph by generating an svg in our Angular frontend. We implemented the calculations in a rust local server as to make them faster.

Challenges we ran into

We decided to learn rust yesterday as it seemed fun to do at first, therefore the server was not the easiest thing to setup so we had to cut a bit everywhere else. The syntax and the lack of practice with this language made it a real challenge for us.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We made a local Rust server and it was our first time using this language

What we learned
