TN System Requirements Document

Introduction

The "TN" project aims to develop a micro SaaS solution that leverages APIs to generate travel itineraries, maps, and budget estimates for motorcycle trips across Tamil Nadu. This document outlines the system requirements for the TN project, focusing on usability, simplicity, accessibility, and modern visual design.

System Overview

The TN micro SaaS solution will provide users with the ability to plan complete motorcycle trips across Tamil Nadu. The application will generate intelligent day-by-day travel itineraries, including routes, attractions, food recommendations, accommodations, fuel stations, riding time, weather, maps, and estimated budgets. The design will be clean, premium, responsive, and scalable for future features.

Signature Design Concept

Interactive Motorcycle Journey Map: The homepage features an interactive map of Tamil Nadu with animated motorcycle routes. Users can click on different routes to view detailed itineraries, attractions, and budget estimates. The map dynamically updates as users adjust their trip parameters. The design uses smooth animations and transitions to create an engaging experience. Libraries: motion/react for animations, react-leaflet for interactive maps.

LANDING HERO MOTION BRIEF

The landing page features a dynamic illustration of a motorcycle journey across Tamil Nadu. The animation begins with a motorcycle icon traveling along a route, passing through various landmarks and attractions. As it moves, the map highlights different destinations, and pop-up cards display brief information about each location. The animation loops every 10 seconds, providing a continuous storytelling experience. Users can interact by clicking on landmarks to view more details. The animation is built using motion/react for smooth transitions and interactions.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

• Interaction Model: Animated
• The landing page will feature moderate scroll-triggered reveals, hover transitions, and spring physics on interactive elements to enhance user engagement.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The application must be highly responsive and accessible, adhering to WCAG AA standards.
• The system should support high traffic and scale seamlessly as user demand increases.
• Ensure data security and user privacy in compliance with GDPR regulations.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React for Web
• Backend: FastAPI
• Database: MySQL
• AI Models: GPT 5.4 for user-friendly responses
• AI Tools: Langchain
• Local Orchestration: Docker
• Server Side Orchestration: Kubernetes

Assumptions and Constraints

• The application will primarily serve users in Tamil Nadu, India.
• The system will rely on third-party APIs for map data and travel information.
• The design must accommodate future feature expansions without significant redesign.

Glossary

• API: Application Programming Interface
• WCAG: Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
• GDPR: General Data Protection Regulation
• SaaS: Software as a Service
