The weight settings allow you to specify your own preferences. The higher the number, the more important the aspect is to you (see FAQ for more detailed information). All factors will always contribute to the routing minimally or maximally, no matter the specific settings.

There are five different weight to personalize your walking experience with ComFootable. The time weight specifies how much importance you place on the duration of your trip. If you set this weight to a lower number, the generated route might take you through more scenic places that take a bit longer than a direct route.
The category local recreation is made up of three different components: trees, forests and greenspaces. If you put a lot of emphasis on local recreation, meaning you set your weight to a high number, the routing service will try to bring you through forests, parks or squares and streets with a lot of trees beside them.
Livability considers the noise measurements of the city of Zurich. If you set this as a high priority, ComFootable will direct you through quieter areas.
The weight safety represents the traffic by taking into account speed limit of 30km/h and 20km/h as well as road accidents. If you set a high number on safety, ComFootable tries to steer clear of places with a high accident count and prioritize zones where the speed limits are 30km/h or 20km/h.
When you adjust the weight of the user rating, it will change how the ratings of trips other users have completed will affect where your route leads through.
Night mode is an effort of ComFootable to help pedestrians feel save when moving through the city at night by suggesting suitable routes. Nightmode will try to go around parks and forests and follow well-lit areas.

ComFootable wants to provide a routing service that is not only suited specifically for pedestrians, but also allows our users to undertake trips that are designed especially according to their preferences. Our team wants to transform the action of walking from simply a mode of transport from one location to another into an enjoyable experience along safe and healthy walkable infrastructure.
ComFootable evolved from a semester project for a geoinformation analytics course. Our team consists of three students in geospatial engineering who are all passionate about walkability and finding tools to improve it in urban spaces.
ComFootable provides a Webapp that function as a routing engine. It is easy and intuitive to use and lets the user weigh their preferences. It offers dynamic calculations of routes from freely choosable start and destination locations, a GPS routing service and an archive of saved trips.
Comfootable values your privacy. We do not share any of your information with third platforms or companies. All your data is handled anonymously.
