CarbonX User Interface
Inspiration
Decarbonization is on the call. The United States has a carbon emission of 14 tons per person, more than 3 times the world average is, while 28% of the emission is from transportation.
What it does
Our application, CarbonX, tracks down users' carbon footprint by different types of transportation automatically. Then we will provide suggestions for alternative trans
How we built it
For the distance part, we go to Google Cloud API to get the distance between two location. For the Carbon Footprint API(Climateq API), we input the distance and get the data of the carbon emission we made for the transportation we took. For the User Interface, we will display the data in graphs (pie chart & bar chart).
Challenges we ran into
We only have the car and train for the transportation option. We haven't written the suggestion algorithm based on users' travel styles. We don't have the implementation of the User Interface yet.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The completion of the Google Cloud program. The completion of the API.
What we learned
Individuals:
Taking more breaks since I had a lot of brain fog
Learned basics of React (Native)
Always forgot to mute my mic
Team Lessons:
No clear designation of who to submit project
Checkpoint meetings not followed
What's next for CarbonX
We hope to complete the challenges we faced and launch it to the market platform such as Apple Store. Then we will develop our app for the Android Users and develop new features including periodic tracking (such as weekly, monthly, annually), and integration with the related business applications such as Google Map, Amazon Shipping.
