EcoMaps is a web-application where you can navigate the Gothenburg area and get information about carbon footprint for different modes of transportation.
The application is built using React (JS) and Spring Boot (Java). Location data is fetched from Västtrafik journey planner API, and routing is fetched from Openrouteservice API. Map is provided by OpenStreetMap.
EcoMaps aims to provide an alternative to Google Maps and similar routing tools, with the added function of calculating CO2 emissions based on your choice of transportation.
The project was created for the course Agile software project management (DAT257) at Chalmers University of Technology during the autumn of 2021.
The application is deployed to Azure App Services and can be reached at https://eco-maps.azurewebsites.net.
