DRUM App
Recently, researchers from IIT Kharagpur and IIITM Gwalior have developed DRUM (Dynamic Route Planning for Urban Green Mobility), a web app that suggests travel routes based on air quality, energy efficiency, speed, and distance.
- DRUM aims to reduce exposure to traffic-related air pollution, which disproportionately impacts commuters—who spend only 8% of their day in traffic but experience 33% of their total pollution exposure there.
- The app gives users five route choices: shortest, fastest, least exposure to air pollution (LEAP), least energy consumption (LECR), and a combined suggested route balancing all four factors.
- DRUM’s core algorithm uses a rank-based elimination method, prioritising time, distance, ....
