SMARTrip
Overview
· The anticipation of a trip can be more enjoyable than the trip itself sometimes, but making travel plans is always difficult. According to my research, determining the best route to take is the most difficult part of planning a trip, especially if you’re going to multiple destinations and need to figure out the route between them over and over again. SMARTrip uses cloud computing to assist users in resolving these issues.
