This project was developed during a 12 hour HackAGH 2023 hackathon, organized by AGH UST in collaboration with Capgemini Engineering.
The objective was to create an app designated to improve in any way functionality of cars in our day-to-day lives.
Our solution focused on solving three main issues:
- Keeping the battery charged at 100% is detrimental to its health
- It takes a significant amount of time to heat the car up in the morning
- The car can be hundreds of kilometers away before we notice the fact that it was stolen
Solutions to the above problems:
- Remote climate control
- Scheduled heating and topping up the battery, just before you leave your home
- Constant car location monitoring, also useful for crowded parking lots
- Theft prevention. If the car starts without an owner nearby, an alarm is triggered
Additionally, we've created a car simulation for testing the above features and a webserver for managing the connections together with the business logic.
This was achieved using the following technologies:
- Mobile app - React Native
- Car simulation - React
- Managing server - Python with FastAPI
Everything was connected using WebSockets.
