Abstract

Taking Sichuan Province, a region abundant in tourism resources, as a case study, this paper designs and implements a web-based self-driving tourism service platform using Node.js and JRE as runtime environments, Vue as the front-end framework, PostgreSQL and PostGIS for database construction, and SuperMap iServer as the map server. The system's core functionalities include scenic spot information queries, visualized resource distribution displays, single-destination self-driving route planning, and multi-destination route planning. Comprehensive testing demonstrated stable operation and excellent performance across all system features.
