Inspiration

Blackouts disrupt vital flight info, causing passenger anxiety. We aim to build resilient communication, empowering travelers with essential updates offline for calm and safe navigation. What it does

Minimal Android app for Vueling. Shares critical flight info (delays, gate changes) via ad-hoc networks during blackouts. Prioritizes key updates, low battery usage.

How we built it

Android Studio, Java. Peer-to-peer (Wi-Fi Direct/Bluetooth) for offline sharing. Simple UI, efficient critical data transfer. Figma for UI prototype. Challenges

Reliable ad-hoc connections across diverse Android devices. Prioritizing crucial info in a decentralized system. Minimal yet user-friendly interface for stress. Accomplishments

Functional prototype sharing basic flight info offline. Lightweight app with minimal UI. System for prioritizing critical updates.

What we learned

Complexity of Android ad-hoc networking. Importance of error handling and compatibility. UI simplicity crucial in emergencies.

What's next

Improve ad-hoc network reliability/range. Integrate more critical info. Enhance prioritization. Explore simple gamification for morale. User testing. Potential Vueling system integration.
