The Atlas Project
What it does

Planning complex travel can involve comparing multiple combinations of flights, accommodation, dates, costs and personal constraints, with information often spread across different websites, calendars and notes.

Atlas was developed as a visual planning and decision-support tool that brings these variables into one interface, allowing different travel scenarios to be organised, adjusted and compared. The project explores how structured data and weighted criteria can be used to make complex planning decisions easier to understand.

Structured scenarios

Turn messy notes and planning inputs into organised travel options.

Visual comparison

Compare routes, dates, prices, constraints and preferences side by side.

Best-fit decision

Identify the option that performs best against the traveller’s priorities.

Why it matters

Travel decisions are rarely based on one factor.

Routes, dates, prices, accommodation, journey times, constraints and personal preferences are often scattered across different websites, messages and notes.

This fragmentation makes it difficult to compare options clearly and choose with confidence.
