Road Mage

Gemini Audio interpretation

Inspiration From being stuck in traffic, then getting your day started with road rage. We came together to create an application for Android Auto that promotes safe, healthy driving habits, identifying negative, offensive feedback from the driver using cabin audio, and detecting driver aggression, also known as road rage.

What it does Road-mage uses the audio in the cabin of the vehicle to identify aggressive behavior from the driver. According to statistics, Road rage is learned, and can be unlearned, and sometimes drivers just need a reminder! Once Roadmage detects agression from the driver, it sends a gentle notification, reminding the driver to remain calm.

How we built it We built RoadMage using Android Studio to attach to Unity/Gemini and created an interface in UI and UV.

Challenges we ran into Some of the challenges we ran into were programming the Android automotive, navigating new things we haven't experienced, such as new languages like Kotlin/Gradle Accomplishments that we're proud of We are beyond proud of successfully getting a test application to properly build and work in the Android automotive emulator correctly, despite having to learn a new programming language and environment

After an incident in the car in the closing hours of the hackathon, my team and I decided something must be done to address the epidemic of road rage. I helped to formulate the initial idea for this project, and how it should work. I decided that the best use case would be to make an application that works within the vehicle though Android Automotive OS- directly built into the cars infotainment system. I determined which tools would be most useful, and spent a majority of my time learning Kotlin+Java and getting a working Android Automotive emulator. I was successfully able to get a working test program to run in and separate emulator window. The next struggle was to figure how to convert my teammates AI api application built in Unity, into Android Studio. I helped share ideas on how this could be accomplished. Finally, I helped formulate and implement features to the program to shape the product into the idea I had envisioned.
