School project designed to provide a convenient itinerary for cyclists traveling between two addresses with an integrated map.
The application functions as a self-hosted SOAP server on the server side, accompanied by a robust Java-based heavy client. Utilizing WCF servers, the app communicates through REST APIs and a routing service with proxy and cache, connecting seamlessly with providers like JCDecaux, Open Route Service, and Nominatim.
Enter valid source and destination addresses, the app will find the nearest JCDecaux stations for you to get a bicycle. The app will then show you all the steps you have to make, from walking to the station, get a bike, travel to the next station, and arrive at your finale destination. If taking a bicycle is too long, the app will show you the shortest itinerary by walking.
Here is the app interface on the command prompt.
