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:
- Algorithm Creation: Developed an algorithm to generate synthetic data.
- AI Training: Trained our AI models using the synthetic data.
- Backend Setup: Built a Python backend using Flask to handle data processing.
- Frontend Development: Connected the backend to a React-based web application via an API.
- 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.
