CoolPath - An Application for Recommending Pedestrian Routes with Reduced Heatstroke Risk.

Global warming and urbanization have made heatstroke a serious emergency disease especially for large cities in summer daytime. Although a lot of studies have focused on the heat-related analysis or on developing general routing applications for pedestrians, few have aimed at providing routing services for pedestrians specifically to reduce their heatstroke risk. In this research, we propose a novel routing system that can recommend pedestrian routes based on the estimated heatstroke risk using heterogeneous data and we conduct a detailed system design for the proposed application.
