Snowy Day

2nd out of 175 teams

uOttaHack · 2026

After a big snowstorm, this app replans the routes snow plows take through the city, so streets get cleared faster and no neighborhood gets forgotten.

Our streets turned into chaos, traffic slowed to a crawl, and snowplows somehow still missed half the roads. We started wondering: why are snowplow routes still basically guesswork? That curiosity turned into Snowy Day. A fun experiment to see how much better snowplowing could be with a little AI help. Snowy Day lets you pick a city and watch snowplows clean it up the smart way. Each snowplow acts like its own little brain, figuring out where to go next so that every road gets cleared with as little overlap and wasted time as possible. You can watch the plows move in real time as they tackle streets, highways, and intersections together.
