Auto Pulse

Inspiration

As a team of Computer Science and Electrical & Computer Engineering majors, we wanted to bridge both disciplines to create a solution that optimizes vehicle health and connectivity. Our goal was to develop an AI-driven tool to enhance automotive diagnostics, ensuring real-time insights for smarter maintenance.

What it does

Auto Pulse uses AI to optimize vehicle diagnostics by:

  • Analyzing synthetic data
  • Providing real-time health monitoring

It connects through a controller and offers a user-friendly web application to access vehicle performance insights.

How we built it

We followed these steps to build Auto Pulse:

  1. Algorithm Creation: Developed an algorithm to generate synthetic data.
  2. AI Training: Trained our AI models using the synthetic data.
  3. Backend Setup: Built a Python backend using Flask to handle data processing.
  4. Frontend Development: Connected the backend to a React-based web application via an API.
  5. Data Access: The web application displays vehicle health data for the user.

Challenges we ran into

Some challenges we encountered were:

  • Integration issues between the Python backend and the React frontend.
  • Hardware limitations for input/output compatibility.
  • The steep learning curve of machine learning and AI training within a 24-hour window.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • We successfully built an end-to-end system in just 24 hours.
  • We integrated AI with real-time data optimization for vehicle diagnostics.
  • Overcoming technical challenges like backend/frontend integration was a significant achievement.

What we learned

Key lessons we learned include:

  • Time management is crucial in a fast-paced environment.
  • The importance of effective team communication to keep the project on track.
  • We gained practical experience in:
    • AI training
    • Python-React integration
    • Managing hardware limitations

What's next for Auto Pulse

Future plans for Auto Pulse:

  • Expansion to other transportation sectors like aviation and marine applications.
  • Development of a mobile application for commercial fleet management, enabling real-time monitoring of a fleet of vehicles across multiple platforms.
