For this week our group tried to get back into the groove of work following our Design Review and spring break. Right before spring break I realized that it became necessary to fully pivot away from the Spatial Network Analysis route for rerouting. We had not really nailed down our definition of what rerouting was until now, previously I believed putting the responsibility on users to go to a specific website to get rerouting information was too placing too much faith in them, but I now realize that is necessary. Planning on using traffic lights to control traffic was both impractical and infeasible.
Now I have been making myself familiar with and using the HERE maps API, along with the React WebApp framework. Our goal is to have the rerouting information publicly available on a web server and allow for users to insert their own locations and destinations. Given an area that a traffic light has blocked off, we can make use of the routing API to find alternate paths.
