BREAK THE BOTTLENECK
Why Is Traffic Control Important for Cities? Congested roadways wreck havoc on the economy and culture of urban areas. Traffic causes significant problems for every aspect of a city, from the motorists that travel on public roads the roadways to the organizations that operate within cities to the residents that call them home
MOTIVE
Develop an android app which can be used to 1.Post request for a bus stop 2.Apply for travel pass (via. online payment) 3.Scan the QR code in transport 4.Send an alert to clearance team
7 ways people around world are tackling traffic: Stockholm : Electronic Road Pricing Barcelona : Urban Lab – Dynamic Traffic Forecasting London : Electronic Journey Planner Hong Kong : Public Light Bus Copenhagen : Integrative Public Transport Model Hangzhou : Public Cycling System UK : Active Traffic Management Approach
INTENDED APPROACH:
1.The clearance team will help out to clear the traffic in time of any accident
for the ambulance or other services.
2.Practical payment problems are solved as the application uses online payment method.
3.Wasting time in traffic becomes a non-productive activity for most people
and congestion reduces regional economic health which can be avoided.
4.Delays can be neglected with help of our clearance team which results in
late arrival for employment,meetings,etc.
5.The app provides ability to forecast travel time accurately.
6.Air pollution and Carbon dioxide emission can be reduced.
7.Wear and tear on vehicles as a result of idling in traffic and frequent acceleration and braking, leading to more
frequent repairs and replacements, can be reduced.
8.Stress and frustration of motorists can be reduced in a wider rage.
Challenges we ran into
We are just undergraduates. We don't know the depths of application development. The back-end stuffs were crazy and unable to understand. We referenced many text books and browsed through google about setting up an API to connect application to firebase cloud
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Our team is happy to develop an app for **Traffic Management** and serve a public cause.
What we learned
We learned a lot about back-end programming. We came to know about working with API and firebase cloud data. We do know about json data about it was nice to learn about sending data from app to cloud and finally the concept of push notification was out of box for us.
What's next for Traveleasy
We like to develop more apps which would help to turn the community and environment a better place to live on.
