<h4>Platform Independent enviroCar App</h4> <p>enviroCar is a Citizen Science tool that is used by citizens, traffic planners, scientists and companies to collect and analyze vehicle information in various traffic situations and gain insight to support the development of sustainable traffic concepts.</p> <p>The enviroCar Android App connects with a car's onboard sensors via OBD-II and records the sensors data to generate real-time information like vehicle speed, revolutions per minute and calculates additional information, such as fuel consumption, estimated fuel cost and CO2 emissions. The only limitation being that it is only available for Android users.</p> <p>This summer I will be working closely with the community and mentors of 52°North to lay the foundation of a platform independent enviroCar app to allow iOS users to access the amazing features of enviroCar.</p>

<p>The features implemented in recent years have greatly enhanced the functionality of the app. Currently, All basic features which help in investigating the users journey have been successfully implemented.  However, the app needs improvements such that users have a bug free and a smooth experience using the app.</p> <p>Hence this year I would like to focus on improving user experience by</p> <ol> <li>Solving some of the critical bugs.</li> <li>Adding new features.</li> <li>New layout designs.</li> </ol>

<p>EnviroCar is a citizen science community that collects, shares, and analyzes floating car data for traffic management and the environment. It analyzes the open data and estimates the track count, average speed, relative speed, CO2 emission, fuel consumption, and hotspot analysis.</p> <p>EnviroCar app is an android application that provides features like:</p> <ul> <li>Record tracks, explore recorded tracks and upload tracks as open data for analysis.</li> <li>Sharing data i.e. uploading data as open data for analysis that estimates use it to estimate CO2 emission, track count, average speed, relative speed, hotspot analysis.</li> <li>Provides real-time data about the track, the distance covered, and duration.</li> </ul> <p>The project aims to build a cross-platform application so that the enviroCar app is available to iOS users as well since only two-thirds of people can use the application as of now.</p>

<p>The proposed project is to create a general purpose analytics toolbox in R that provides meaningful analysis of individual trajectories and collections of trajectories. Sample data that will be used to demonstrate functionality is enviroCar trajectory data. The analytics toolbox will offer the ability to fetch trajectory data, perform various statistical analyses of trajectory data, meaningfully visualize trajectory data in multiple ways, aggregate trajectory data, and subset trajectory data. On top of these features, the analytics toolbox will contain the capability to visualize hot-spot clusters of trajectories in cities and return analytics on these hot-spots. The software will be delivered as a R package and will be submitted to CRAN with the intention of creating a community of future contributors to this project.</p>

<p>Develop a full-fledged Typescript based Web Processing Service (WPS) library, which will implement all features defined by OGC WPS Interface standards-- such as GetCapabilities, DescribeProcess, and ExecuteProcess. Furthermore, this library will also be supported in Typescript based frameworks like Angular, as we propose to develop typescript-typings required to import our library into third-party applications. We also aim for high unit test coverage so that the users have a seamless experience using our library.</p>
