LITERATURE SURVEY
PAPER 1:A Real-Time Weather Forecasting and Analysis: The paper focuses on weather forecasting
using meteorological parameters like temperature and humidity. Data is collected from a DHT11 sensor
and stored on the cloud via a Raspberry Pi with an Ethernet shield. The cloud-stored data is formatted
into CSV, JSON, or XML files for further analysis. Correlation analysis helps predict future values, and the
ARIMA model is employed for time-series data prediction. Real-time data is gathered and analyzed using
R, with the ARIMA model implemented for forecasting values. The proposed system starts with data
from June, and predictions can be made for every month and year. The accuracy of different models can
be compared, considering standard error values. However, accurate predictions are more reliable for
the first two successive years. Multiple models can be tested, and additional parameters may be
considered for improved prediction accuracy.

PAPER 2: Weather Forecasting Application using Web-based Model-View-Whatever Framework: This


work focuses on creating a web application using the AngularJS 1.x JavaScript framework to provide
weather forecasts for any city worldwide. Weather, a significant atmospheric phenomenon, varies based
on climate, seasons, and diverse factors. The application displays two, five, and seven-day forecasts and
utilizes an API to incorporate additional parameters such as wind speed, humidity, pressure, latitude,
and longitude. Data visualization enhances the detailed understanding of weather conditions for a given
location.

PAPER 3: Weather Monitoring System using Internet of Things: The proposed system focuses on
monitoring weather conditions, including temperature, humidity, and CO levels, using sensors. These
sensors detect environmental changes and transmit the data to users for statistical analysis. The
technology employed for this purpose is the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT serves as an efficient and
advanced solution, enabling the monitoring, collection, control, and global connectivity of the system.
This approach provides users with an effective means of accessing real-time information from various
locations worldwide.

PAPER 4: Research on weather forecast based on neural networks The traditional method based on
aerodynamics and expertise for weather forecast focuses on present data, but the historical database is
not utilized. The paper presents research on weather forecasting through the historical database.
Because the atmosphere pattern is a complex, nonlinear system, the traditional method is not an
effective method. The multi-layer neural network is a potent method for resolving this problem. With
the backpropagation neural networks the atmosphere pattern is divided into five patterns based on the
rainfall. Comments on this method and a special atmosphere pattern are given at the end of the paper.

PAPER 5: Visual Weather Temperature Prediction: This paper explores the use of convolutional
recurrent neural networks for weather temperature estimation solely based on image data. Two
scenarios are considered: a) estimating temperature from a single outdoor image using a convolutional
neural network, showing promising results influenced by the volume of training data, and b) predicting
the temperature of the last image in a sequence using a recurrent neural network, achieving better
accuracy than state-of-the-art models. The study also investigates performance variations based on
scene regions and daytime hours, reinforcing the idea of cost-efficient weather prediction using visual
information.
PAPER 6: Machine Learning in Weather Prediction and Climate Analyses—Applications and Perspectives:
This paper analyzes the 500 most relevant scientific articles published since 2018 on machine learning
methods in climate and numerical weather prediction. Utilizing Google Scholar, the study identifies
common topics of interest, such as photovoltaic and wind energy in weather prediction research, and
parametrizations, extreme events, and climate change in climate research. The analysis also extracts
frequently examined meteorological fields (wind, precipitation, temperature, pressure, and radiation),
methods (Deep Learning, Random Forest, Artificial Neural Networks, Support Vector Machine, and
XGBoost), and prominent countries (China, USA, Australia, India, and Germany). Through critical
reviews, the authors predict that machine learning methods will play a pivotal role in future weather
forecasting research.

PAPER 7:Dynamic Line Rating Using Numerical Weather Predictions and Machine Learning: a Case
Study: This paper presents a dynamic line rating experiment using four machine learning algorithms
(Generalized Linear Models, Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines, Random Forests, and Quantile
Random Forests) alongside numerical weather predictions. The focus is on modeling and predicting
ampacity up to 27 hours ahead in two conductor lines in Northern Ireland. The results demonstrate a
significant performance improvement for both point and probabilistic forecasts, emphasizing the utility
of probabilistic forecasts in avoiding risk situations. Key contributions include an in-depth examination of
explanatory variables, the application of machine learning with numerical weather predictions, and the
development of a probabilistic forecast from standard point forecasts. The findings have direct
applications in protecting and monitoring transmission and distribution infrastructures, particularly in
the presence of renewable energy sources and distributed power generation systems.

PAPER 8: Design of Real-time Weather Monitoring System Based on Mobile Application using Automatic
Weather Station: This paper proposes the design of real-time weather monitoring system based on a
mobile application using Automatic Weather Station (AWS). The system connects to the AWS equipped
with several sensors for collecting data and storing the data to the web server. Data from weather
sensor is taken from the AWS-Davis Instrument using the WeatherLink software. The data is transmitted
through the data logger using serial communication, uploaded via FTP and stored on a web server. The
Android application reads the files and displays the information provided by the web server in real-time.
The system has successfully show real-time monitoring of weather through the mobile application with
a flexibility in the parameters and the need of user interface (UI) design compared to the other solution.

PAPER 9: Weather Forecasting Using Deep Learning Algorithms: This paper addresses the challenges in
traditional weather forecasting techniques and proposes an automatic weather forecasting model based
on numerical and time series data, utilizing deep learning algorithms. The goal is to improve the
accuracy and precision of short-range weather forecasts. The study compares and evaluates models
employing different transfer functions, including LSTM, GRU, and Bi LSTM. The aim is to explore the
effectiveness of these time series algorithms in developing an efficient and reliable nonlinear forecasting
model for automatic weather analysis, overcoming challenges such as incomplete knowledge of physical
processes and the difficulty of analyzing large volumes of observational data.

PAPER 10: WeathCast: A Machine Learning-Based Real-Time Weather Monitoring & Forecasting System:
This paper introduces "WeathCast," a real-time weather monitoring system based on machine learning.
Weather monitoring and forecasting are crucial for planning, and this system focuses on predicting
parameters such as temperature, humidity, chances of rain, and Air Quality Index for major cities in
India. Professionals in meteorology rely on various mechanisms like air balloons, satellites, and radar for
accurate predictions. WeathCast leverages machine learning algorithms and APIs to analyze and
compute data, offering real-time air quality index analyses for informed decision-making in different
locations.
SELECTION OF PROCESS MODEL
Problem Statement:
Get ready to revolutionize your two-wheeler commutes with a user-centric app inspired by the
streamlined approach of popular services like Rapido. This app, meticulously crafted using the powerful
MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js), prioritizes a seamless and intuitive interface
to get you where you need to be, fast. Whether you're a rider seeking swift and affordable
transportation or a driver looking for flexible earning opportunities, this MERN-powered app caters to
your needs with a focus on efficiency, user satisfaction, and scalability. Buckle up and experience the
future of two-wheeler travel.

Process Model Selection:


Waterfall Model
Appropiate Model:
The Waterfall model is a suitable choice for developing the Rapido app due to its emphasis on
upfront planning and a structured development lifecycle. This structured approach is beneficial
when:
Clearly Defined Requirements: If the core functionalities and features of the Rapido app are
well-defined upfront, the Waterfall model allows for a clear roadmap and avoids confusion
during development. This is because each phase has specific deliverables that need to be signed
off before moving to the next.
Project Size: For a relatively smaller project like Rapido (compared to complex enterprise
applications), the Waterfall model's linear approach can be efficient. The clearly defined phases
ensure a logical flow from gathering requirements to deployment, making it easier to manage a
smaller development team and keep the project on track.
Inappropriate model:
Agile Model:
While Agile is popular for iterative development with evolving requirements, it might not be
necessary for Rapido if the functionalities are well-understood from the beginning. Agile thrives
on short development sprints with continuous feedback loops, which might be unnecessary if
the core features are set in stone.
Incremental Model:
Similar to Agile, the incremental model focuses on delivering functionality in stages. This can
be beneficial for larger projects where user feedback can inform future iterations. However, for
a smaller app like Rapido with a well-defined feature set, delivering everything at once through
the Waterfall model might be more efficient.
Prototype Model:
Prototyping is valuable for exploring unclear functionalities and getting user feedback early on.
If the core features of Rapido are already set, a full prototype might not be required. However,
some low-fidelity wireframes or mockups could still be useful for visualizing the user interface
before diving into development.
Spiral Model:
The Spiral model is used for high-risk, high-budget projects with evolving requirements. It's not
ideal for a smaller app like Rapido with potentially stable requirements. The Spiral model
involves multiple iterations of risk assessment, design, development, and evaluation, which
would be overkill for a more straightforward project.

Software Architecture Document
Rapido, the ubiquitous bike-taxi app, thrives on real-time data to optimize operations,
understand customer behavior, and ensure top-notch delivery performance. Underpinning this
data-driven approach is a robust multi-tier reporting architecture designed for efficient data
processing and insightful presentation.

User Interface (React.JS)

 User Interface represents the frontend of the application, the visual elements that users
interact with directly. It's built using React.js, a popular JavaScript library that allows
developers to create reusable UI components. React.js is known for its efficiency and
ability to handle complex UIs, making it a suitable choice for building modern web
applications.

Frontend Server (Node.js, Express.js)

 Frontend Server represents the server that sits between the user interface and the
backend services. It acts as a middleman, handling communication requests from the user
interface (usually through the browser) and relaying them to the appropriate backend
service. The frontend server also receives responses from the backend services and sends
them back to the user interface to update the application's view. In this case, the server is
built using Node.js, a JavaScript runtime environment that allows developers to run
JavaScript code outside of a web browser, and Express.js, a web framework for Node.js
that simplifies server-side development by providing pre-built features for common web
application functionalities.

API Gateway

 API Gateway, which acts as an intermediary between the frontend server and the
various backend services. It routes incoming API requests from the frontend server to the
appropriate backend service based on the endpoint (URL) of the request. The API
Gateway also handles authentication and authorization tasks, ensuring that only
authorized users can access specific functionalities within the application. By using an
API Gateway, the architecture becomes more modular and scalable, as new backend
services can be integrated without affecting the frontend or other backend services.

MongoDB Database (User Data, Rides, Feedback)

 In this case, MongoDB is used, a NoSQL database that stores data in flexible documents
rather than rigid tables with predefined schemas. This makes MongoDB a suitable choice
for storing data that can vary greatly in structure, such as user profiles, ride information,
and user feedback, which may include text, ratings, and other unstructured data types.

External Weather API Integration

 The indicates that the application integrates with an external weather API. This means
the application can access real-time or forecast weather data from a third-party provider.
This data can then be incorporated into various aspects of the application, potentially
benefiting both riders and drivers. For example, riders might be able to see the weather
forecast at their destination before booking a ride, while drivers could use weather data to
plan their routes and avoid areas with bad weather conditions.

Development Team

 This box acknowledges the team of developers responsible for creating the application.
Their expertise in web development, API integration, and potentially weather data
analysis is crucial for building and maintaining the application.

Registered User and Rider Interaction Service

 It refers to a service that manages interactions between registered users, presumably


riders, within the app. The exact nature of these interactions depends on the app's
functionalities, but it could involve features like:
o Booking rides: Riders can search for available drivers, specify their pickup and
drop-off locations, and request a ride.
o Managing profiles: Riders can view and update their profile information,
including payment methods and ride preferences.
o Contacting customer support: Riders can use the app to contact customer support
for assistance with any issues they encounter while using the application.

Weather API Integration Service

 It signifies a service specifically designed to handle the integration with the external
weather API. This service likely performs the following tasks:
o Fetching weather data: The service retrieves weather data from the external API
using appropriate API calls.
o Data processing: The service may process the raw weather data to make it usable
within the application. This could involve formatting the data, extracting relevant
information, and potentially combining it with other data sources within the
application.
o Providing weather data: The service makes the processed weather data available
to other parts of the application through well-defined interfaces (APIs). This
allows other components, such as the user interface or rider booking
functionalities, to access and leverage the weather information.

Overall Architecture

The web application depicted in the image follows a microservices architecture, where the
application is broken down into smaller, independent services that communicate with each other
through APIs. This approach offers several advantages:

 Modularity: Individual services can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently.


 Scalability: The architecture can be easily scaled by adding more instances of services as
needed to handle increased load.
 Maintainability: Smaller, focused services are easier to maintain and update compared
to a monolithic codebase.
 Fault Isolation: Issues in one service are less likely to impact other parts
