Country Roads
Description as a Tweet:
Country Roads provides traffic and road condition monitoring without the need for GPS enabled phones. Collected data is anonymous, non-invasive, and in real-time, ensuring driver privacy.
Inspiration:
This is a logical extension of a previous Hack-a-Thon project that implements
What it does:
Relays information regarding road safety while ensuring privacy and data security of drivers.
How we built it:
C++, Hive-Map, Arduino,
Technologies we used:
- HTML/CSS
- Javascript
- SQL
- C/C++/C#
- Python
- Flask
- Arduino
- Microcontrollers
- Robotics
- Other Hardware
Challenges we ran into:
Google-Cloud SQL crashed under minimal load with no good indication as to why. Hardware to communicate with a real vehicle was unable to operate and made worse due to a lack of serial communication to a readout.
Accomplishments we're proud of:
Getting all nodes to communicate with each other in an expandable fashion.
What we've learned:
Google-Cloud SQL is difficult to use.
What's next:
Interface with ECU on several cars and test the operating range for relays and data we can possibly acquire.
Built with:
C++, Ardiuno, Python, Flask, Cloud SQL, App Engine
Prizes we're going for:
