Inspiration
We always wanted to something that will improve the Road travel Experience in India and Help saves lives lost in road accidents. Ford Indore Road Safety Hackathon gave an inspiration to realize this dream.
What it does
It collects road data from various sources and inform users (pedestrians, bicyclists, and motor vehicles drivers) about:
- Accident prone areas
- Nearby emergency vehicles like Fire brigade, ambulance and Police vehicles
- Traffic rules violation prone areas
- Bad roads (i.e. roads with potholes)
- Closed roads
How I built it
It is built in the form of a mobile application (available for iOS devices at present). A web application and Web API is also exposed to be used by sensors and individuals to update real time road data.
Challenges I ran into
My complete vision for road safety is vast and selecting on the features to be included for this competition was the biggest challenge.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I am able to make this application right from idea to implementation in record time with all possible distractions possible.
What I learned
Together we can achieve more.
What's next for Road Assistance
Planning to add routing and navigation services (including real time traffic and all existing parameters). We will also be adding Vehicle to Vehicle communication support and Emergency services.
