Kozhikode: If the thought of relentless sunlight streaming through your bus window makes you dread travel, the new ‘Veyil App’ might be the ideal solution. This app, crafted by three young innovators from Kerala – Muran Hadi Rasheed, T S Sreelal, and Hudaifa Abdul Naser – helps bus travelers dodge direct sunlight by pinpointing the best seat for shade. Using advanced calculations, the app determines which side of the bus will stay cooler throughout the journey, offering a welcome solution to sun-weary commuters.
The app works by analyzing details such as your travel route, time, and day to determine the position of the sun along your journey. Once these are entered, ‘Veyil App’ can tell you whether to choose a seat on the left or right side of the bus, offering recommendations based on precise sunlight exposure timings. For example, it might suggest, “Sit on the right side! Sitting on the left will leave you in direct sunlight for approximately 2 hours and 47 minutes.” This thoughtful feature helps travelers avoid the discomfort of shifting sun angles that often surprise those seated initially in shade.
With a 100-meter interval analysis and GPS-based calculations, the app provides accurate route-based sun predictions, accessible via its companion website, ‘veyil.app,’ for those on various devices. Now available globally, ‘Veyil App’ has quickly become a go-to resource for making bus journeys cooler and more comfortable.
