SathChal

Project Area of Specialization Computer ScienceProject Summary

While planning a trip (Let's say, to Multan) our main purpose is to cover most places in least amount of time while also not stressing about the whereabout of the routes, the roads you take and most importantly where to go, when to leave, duration of your stay and all the stops you are going to make either planned or unplanned. SathChal manages it all for you by putting your tour in the time frame you provide, breaking the whole plan into manageable days, manageable routes and manageable stops. While planning a trip (Let's say, to Multan) our main purpose is to cover most places in least amount of time while also not stressing about the whereabout of the routes, the roads you take and most importantly where to go, when to leave, duration of your stay and all the stops you are going to make either planned or unplanned.

Project Objectives

Analogy: Say you want to reach Multan by road from Karachi, you go and put it in Google Maps, it tells you to drive straight for 13hr 21min to cover 896km, what it doesn’t tell you is that there is Mohenjo Daro along with a few other tourist places on the way; Let’s say you have only 5 days off from your work and you need to get back to Karachi within that time, how do you decide the possible and the most manageable decision of all? SathChal does all that  and even more for you! It not only provides the tourist various opportunities. It also lets people advertise their businesses for incoming tourists. For eg, if a tourist is travelling to Hyderabad, the application will show which bakery is the nearest or which hospital is providing what facilities, etc.

Project Implementation Method

1. Make a tentative tour plan to destination.

2. Generate list of tourist places on the way

3. Alter the plan according to:

• Available time
• Round/One-way Trip
• Selected on-the-way tourist stops
• Planned Additional Stops
• Planned Stay times for each stop

4. Adjust trip plan, dynamically according to present changes in users':

• Actual stay time on stops
• Route Selected

Speed

Benefits of the Project

1. Paint better picture of Pakistan in the international community through increased tourism to untapped places in Pakistan
2. Increased local and foreign exposure to tourist places off the beaten path, which aren't visited often, mainly due to lack of knowledge
3. Increased local and foreign exposure to frequented tourist places in Pakistan.
4. Increased oppurtunities for businesses associated with tourism e.g. Dhabas, Hotels, Motels, Gift Shops, Tour Guides etc.
