An Alternative Route-Finding Technique to Bypass Localities Affected by Communicable Diseases.

The extreme pandemic has changed the traveling habit as people are skeptical about traveling through the infection outbreak regions. Therefore, it has become a need to find alternative routes whenever traveling in a city kind of regions. In the current paper, we have proposed a simple yet smart system for predicting the safest route between source and destination amongst other alternative routes. The safest route is with minimum exposure to localities affected by the spread of communicable diseases like COVID-19. It is done by considering different quality measures assuming that there will be available information on the active number of infection cases from the governing authorities. However, the only information taken into account is the location of the confirmed active cases without using any other sensitive information of the patients. The proposed system will help common people while traveling in the pandemic situation. It will also be helpful for the local administration in restricting movement to and from containment zones.
