What I Built
GreenRoute is a climate-tech web application that helps users compare travel routes based on time, cost, and carbon emissions, making it easier to choose eco-friendly commuting options.
Instead of optimizing only for speed, GreenRoute also helps optimize for sustainability.
Live Demo
https://sushmita25dubey.github.io/DEV-Earth-Day-2026-Weekend-Challenge/
Users can:
- Compare Car, Public Transport, and Bike/Walking routes
- Identify the Greenest Route
- See estimated carbon savings
- Use a What-If Impact Simulator to project monthly and annual impact
- Interact with a Gemini Climate Coach for AI-powered sustainability guidance
- Take an Earth Day Pledge for greener commuting habits
Inspiration
Daily transportation choices create environmental impact, but most commuters rarely see that impact while making decisions.
How It Works
A user enters a start point and a destination.
GreenRoute compares route options using:
- Travel time
- Cost
- Estimated CO₂ emissions
It highlights the greenest option and shows environmental impact metrics.
Example:
Choosing Bike/Walking instead of a car can help reduce emissions and improve annual carbon savings.
Google Gemini Integration
GreenRoute includes a Gemini Climate Coach that provides:
- Personalized commuting sustainability suggestions
- Climate guidance through quick prompts
-
AI-powered answers to questions like:
- How can I reduce commute emissions?
- Is cycling always greener?
- Best route for students?
Gemini is used as an interactive sustainability assistant, not just a static feature.
