Python Flask Implementation For Route Optimization
Python Flask Implementation For Route Optimization
the user (via a POST request), runs a route optimization algorithm (using a simple brute-
force TSP method for this small size), and returns the optimized route and total distance.
✅ Features:
app = Flask(__name__)
def total_route_distance(route):
distance = 0
for i in range(len(route)):
distance += euclidean_distance(route[i], route[(i
+ 1) % len(route)])
return distance
def find_best_route(coords):
best_order = []
min_distance = float('inf')
try:
optimized_route, total_distance =
find_best_route(coords)
return jsonify({
"optimized_route": optimized_route,
"total_distance": round(total_distance, 2)
})
except Exception as e:
return jsonify({"error": str(e)}), 500
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(debug=True)
📝 Notes:
• This uses brute-force, which is ne for ≤10 points, but for more, consider using
heuristic algorithms (e.g. Ant Colony, Genetic Algorithm, or Google OR-Tools).
Would you like to see this extended to use a Genetic Algorithm, integrate Google Maps API,
or add a frontend UI to submit the coordinates?
