Inspiration
A friend of ours missed out on an incredible opportunity of bagging a profitable client for her company due to a relentless traffic. This left her helpless, hopeless and since then the company resists handing over big projects to her. This incident served as a wake-up call, propelling us to develop a system for traffic assistance.
What it does
Our system reschedules your daily schedule based on our traffic analysis of your daily commute. Our app provides customized service of analyzing real-time and predicted traffic conditions, suggesting alternative routes with less congestion, and even recommending adjustments to your departure time to ensure you arrive on time.
How we built it
We built it by incorporating technologies like Flutter for cross-platform mobile app, Node JS for authentication and Python for data analytics.
Challenges we ran into
Delivering a promising prototype in limited time was a significant challenge during this hackathon. Beyond this, API integration & Data analysis were stimulating as well.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The pride factor is that we actually utilized our "own skills" to solve our "own problem" that we've practically faced. We are surprized how solving this traffic problem not only solves our problem but a large domain of people can benefit from it as well. We are happy that this hackathon provided us a platform where we were able to develop a system that assists and prevents us from getting trapped in hectic traffic congestion that we face on a daily basis.
What we learned
We would have never known about the fine details and considerations that needs to be addressed for solving traffic related problem if we hadn't tried solving it. Only solution might not be enough, it should be implemented in a systematic manner to foster factors like feasibility, market size, revenue, domain and so on. Besides that, we learnt how vital teamwork is while working under pressure and time constraints. We also learnt to be handy with new technologies and techniques.
What's next for Traffic Commute Assistant
Our future advancements include:
- Real-time data and route-suggestion in case of uncertainty
- Multiple destination options in between the commute route
- Custom notification features for additional alerts
- Expand the reach of the application from the traffic domain and provide other
