NomadNav SRS
NomadNav SRS
Scope :
NomadNav is a web application designed to provide a personalized travel suggestion. When people find
it difficult to find a perfect location to spend time near their location our web application suggests
beautiful and hidden gems and also it allows the user to choose the locations they prefer based on their
budget and travel styles.
Description :
This SRS document details the web application's functional and non-functional requirements,
performance standards, and technical constraints. It also provides an overview of the technologies to be
used in the development of the NomadNav web application.
Product Functions :
Personalized travel suggestions based on the inputs provided by the users. Interactive UI with
recommendations and details of the selected location.
Constraints :
The system assumes that users can access geolocation services on their devices.
Availability of real-time data (e.g., travel modes, places) from external APIs.
Functional Requirements :
User Input :
Budget:
Users should input their budget range using sliders or text fields. The system will only show destinations
within the specified budget.
Location:
Current Location (optional): The application will use the browser's geolocation API to obtain the user's
current location.
Destination: Users can either search for a destination through a search bar or use an interactive map.
Travel Style:
Users can choose from predefined travel styles (e.g., "Adventure," "Relaxation," "Family-friendly"). This
selection will influence the types of recommendations offered.
Recommendation Engine :
Data Source:
The system will integrate with various datasets of places (e.g., restaurants, attractions, hotels) that
include:
Filtering:
Budget.
Ranking:
The system will rank filtered results based on relevance, popularity, or user preferences.
Travel Mode Suggestions :
API Integration:
Estimated travel time and costs for various modes (e.g., car, walking, public transit).
The user will be presented with a list of available travel modes along with their estimated costs (if
applicable) and travel times.
Non-Functional Requirements :
Performance :
Fast Response Times: The system should provide recommendations and route information quickly.
Scalability:
The application should scale efficiently with an increasing number of users and travel data.
Security :
Data Protection: Protect sensitive user data (e.g., location, preferences) using encryption and other
security measures.
Authentication:
If personalized data storage is implemented, user authentication must be required to ensure data
security.
Usability
Intuitive Design: The user interface will be designed to be simple, clean, and easy to navigate.
Accessibility:
Ensure the application is accessible to users with disabilities (e.g., screen reader support, keyboard
navigation).
Reliability
Error Handling: The system must handle API failures and user errors gracefully, without crashing.
Data Backup:
Ensure that data, especially user preferences and travel itineraries, are backed up regularly to prevent
loss.
Maintainability
Code Structure: The code will be well-structured and modular to facilitate updates, new feature
additions, and bug fixes.
Technology Requirements :
Frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and a frontend framework (e.g., React, Angular, Vue.js).
Database: MySQL, PostgreSQL, or MongoDB for storing user data and place information.
API Integration: Integration with external APIs like Google Maps Directions, OpenWeatherMap, etc.
Mapping Library: Leaflet, Google Maps JavaScript API, or a similar library for map interactions.
