Dhaleel

A pedestrian router that knows where the shade is — built at a hackathon and selected as an AI Showcase Featured Project.

The idea

In extreme heat the shortest walk is not always the right one. Dhaleel routes people along the coolest path instead, and recommends the safest time to set out.

How it works

It computes real building shadows from OpenStreetMap geometry and the sun’s position, then finds the coolest route with Dijkstra’s algorithm, running in the browser on MapLibre.

On the same journey it cuts direct-sun exposure by up to about 68%. The shade-routing demo on the home page shows the idea on a small grid.

Architecture

Fully static: a Python pre-processing pipeline plus in-browser routing. Zero servers, zero running cost, deployable on any static host.

Recognition

Built at the Kanz AI Training Hackathon in July 2026 — run by Kanz with LAU’s Academy of Continuing Education and the Skills & Training Deputyship of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development — and selected as an AI Showcase Featured Project (certificate ID KANZ-ADV-2183).

In the same programme I attended, as one of 14,075 participants, the lesson that set the Guinness World Records title for the most participants in an AI video lesson — a record achieved by Kanz and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development on 15 July 2026.
