Abstract
The prototype was tested for route generation, distance calculation, accident handling, weather penalties, risk scoring, data loading, and disconnected routes. The results show that safety-related information can be included in a lightweight browser-based navigation application without a separate backend server. The system is intended as a regional decision-support prototype and does not claim to guarantee real-world road safety.
Functional testing covers route generation, distance calculation, accident handling, weather penalties, risk scoring, data loading, and disconnected-path conditions. The resulting prototype demonstrates how safety-related information can be incorporated into a lightweight browser-based navigation workflow without requiring a dedicated
backend. The system is intended as a regional decision-support prototype rather than a guarantee of real-world road safety.
Keywords- Risk-aware navigation, A* algorithm, safest path, shortest path, accident analysis, traffic analysis, weather-aware routing, TomTom Maps, OpenWeatherMap, GIS, smart transportation.
