Route planner for DAF Navigation System

A Route Planner is an assistant for truck drivers. The Route Planner defines stopping points for the truck driver so that the driver can follow a healthy schedule of work and rest. Additionally, the Route Planner suggests cafes and hotels that are located near these points. The solution is described in detail in the presentation for hackathon.
