Shaded Route Planning

A shade-aware pedestrian route planning system that generates city-scale sunlight and shade simulations based on building geometry, sun position, and time-of-day conditions. The approach uses image segmentation and dynamic shade modeling to estimate shaded walking paths, enabling cooler and more comfortable routing recommendations for pedestrians in urban environments.
