Repo and a12map team started as PragueHacks2016 hackathon project focused on improving the life of Prague citizens.
Give users a visual (color) representation - a map of time accessibility - where they can select a point A see immediately how long does it take to get to other parts of the city.
Problem - You would like to rent a flat somewhere in Prague, therefore you need to know multiple travel times from the selected area (point A) to other destinations like work, school, shopping, bars, sport places, etc. (points B, C, D, E, F, G)
Current solution - You open a web page with transport search, you execute multiple queries.
This approach works but has major drawbacks
- no map view unless you use google maps w/ traffic search - but locals use more accurate services like ddp.cz
- you have to execute 1 query per 1 place with 1 departure time specified (peak, off peak, day, nigh, weekend) that's for
n * m queriesfor n places, m departure times
