A hard problem we are facing this week is coming up with a heuristic to determine whether a crosswalk can be avoided or not. If a route has multiple blind unfriendly crosswalks, choosing to avoid or not avoid one can have consequences on subsequent unfriendly crosswalks as well. Currently, we think a flat rate distance may be the right option (ie. avoiding blind-unfriendly crosswalks should not increase trip length by X meters in total). If we do it by crosswalk instead of in total (avoiding blind unfriendly crosswalk should not increase trip length by more than X distance of percentage), this may cause the aggregate trip length to be very inflated, even if each individual crosswalk does not increase trip length by that much.
Next week we plan on doing more integration and testing as a group, as we need to make sure that the software and hardware components are working together well, and that we are covering edge cases properly. We hope to be able to run a full cached route with feedback by the end of next week.
