The Challenge
Traditional weather applications provide forecasts for fixed locations, making them ineffective for long-distance travel where weather conditions change dynamically over time and geography. Drivers often encountered unexpected storms, snow, or hazardous conditions mid-route.
- No visibility of weather conditions along an entire driving route
- Inability to align forecasts with actual travel time
- Lack of tools to compare weather across alternate routes
- Too many irrelevant alerts causing notification fatigue
The Objective
- Provide route-based weather forecasting for road travelers
- Allow users to visualize weather changes over time
- Enable safer travel decisions through departure-time planning
- Deliver only relevant, user-defined weather alerts
