Hi,

the purpose of GSoC is to introduce students to working in an open
source environment. This is why we mainly focus on projects that work
on an existing code base or at least already have a plan for being
integrated into the OSM software eco system. We do not have enough
mentors to support other projects.

What you are suggesting seems to go into the area of routing. If you are
interested in working with OSM, have a look at the proposals on that
topic:

Kind regards

Sarah
