Prefill the form

Problem

Many transport user interfaces don't prefill the form when coming on the page. Just from their history, favorites, and other activity we can however do a very educated guess about what they might fill out.

Solution

Make a small algorithm in javascript which calculates the chance the user is going to use a certain station for "to" and "from".

• When X hours ago the user searched for A to B, chances are the user is now going to need B to A.
• The user has a "home" station where (s)he always returns at night
• Through some systems we might retrieve their location. (for instance: checked in using foursquare)
• etc

After giving it some thought, I believe the suggested solution is a bit too complicated and will not do the job.

Instead, I have created a new repository which only needs the history array:
