App Design Finalization

Based on meeting with Dr. Kuilin Zhang on 4/7/2020

Any questions/clarifications after demoing the app?

• App name change: CAV Routing Game
• How do you decide how many players there will be? It will vary greatly.
• If the Professor's view could somehow show how many Students have joined so he knows that everyone is in. And possibly show the names of each Student that has joined.
• Having two options, the current Dijkstra and the previous Dijkstra will suffice for MVP. However, having a “manual path” choice for Students would be great on the side bar, but this really depends on whether or not you’ll have time to do it.

Are there any more inputs that you’d ideally like on the Game Settings page?

• Algorithm: changed to “Cost Function”
• Add input option: Number of players
• Add input option: “Transportation Network”

• Possibly have some kind of “import network” using two CSV files. This way he can just choose the network he’d like to use. Ideally he could upload only once and that network would be stored permanently for him to choose from.

Can we get one of the actual networks that you’d like to use for the game?

• Yes, we’ll send you the Houghton/Hancock network so it can be implemented
• We’ll also compile a list of statistics we’d ideally like to see on the post game stats screen

Which exact statistics would you like to be displayed on the post-game stats screen?

We’ll send a complete list shortly after this meeting. It will minimally include:

• Calculate total cost, total iterations chosen, how many iterations it took.
• Total cost of all players’ routes
• Total number of students that used each path
• Average travel time of using that path

Which exact statistics would you like to be downloaded via csv?

I would like all raw data about the simulation. This includes:

• The year
• The date
• All students present
• Which paths students chose
• As much other data as is possible to retrieve about the current session

Anything else?

• The app name needs to be part of the url
• Remove port number from url
