THE PROBLEM

Traffic jams and congestion each year costs the world economy over a trillion dollar
Engine Idling in jams contribute to harmful particle emissions that also get concentrated more near the location.
Research has linked traffic to negative mental health outcomes, including stress and aggression.
Aim is to empower customers to make sustainable choices regarding their modes of transportation.
India has one of the largest road networks in the world but the system is crumpled due to excessive traffic jams which hurt the economy in billions of dollars , contribute to increased pollution as well as have a deteriorating effect on the mental health of the millennial . Traffic jams and congestion each year costs the world economy over a trillion dollars .Engine Idling in jams contribute to harmful particle emissions that also get concentrated more near the location.

THE SOLUTION

The idea is convert empathy into actions. Our app would arrive at various results and then convert it into actions. The app which would display an "IDEAL SPEED" for the vehicle(from varios factors) ,driving at which the driver won’t face any traffic jam thus preventing engine idling, less pollution and preventing mental stress.The app would take data like car’s speed,nearest jam/congestion using location data etc,keep updating itself on user actions.

Futher , it would also detect whether the car is full or not since a car being driven with a single person has more carbon footprint per person and educate the user for methods like car pooling etc .

The carbon emission data is calculated per person also so that correct facts can be displayed and shown to the users.

Empathy can be generated by implying the long term effects of following the tips and facts can be shown to the users on high such small steps taken can bring a bigger impact.For Eg.

“Every car annually emits its own weight in carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Carpooling reduces that amount significantly. If you carpool to and from work, you could probably cut your transportation emissions number in half, or even better”

By phrasing like above , empathy can be converted to actions

THE SOLUTION

We introduce a “Pay Later” feature in the app where the user can sync all his transportation modes and we suggest methods to lessen the monthly cost based on the use pattern and where the person could have improved by adhering to the suggestions like car pooling , public transports etc.

The user does the payment on a 15 Day cycle and we provide insights to the user based on his use and suggest the methods of lessening the carbon footprint.

Further, if the user obeys the tips and suggestion , we reward him/her with third party offers/coupons .

Revenue generation can be made at this node by partnering with brands on this.

Further, our common payment plan linking public and private transportation on pay-later cycle gives user insights where he could save money , carbonfootprints and empathize on issue.

SKETCHED ARCHITECTURE

Since MQTT has a client/server model, every car sensor is a client and connects to a server, known as a broker, over TCP.

Every message of the next congestion on road is published to an address.

.Every client subscribed to a topic receives every message of next jam published to the topic.

For example, three clients and a central broker.

All three clients open TCP connections

with the broker. Clients B and C

subscribe to the information about next

jam on the road.

At a later time, Car A(client) publishes a

value of 10km for next jam to

Other cars .

The broker forwards the message to

all subscribed cars.

SUSTAINABILITY

The app arrives at meaningful facts to which user can act on to.It connects the user on points like lessening car congestions , car pooling etc.

The cost of wasted fuel can add up to $70-650 a year, depending on fuel prices, idling habits and vehicle type).

Idling actually increases overall engine wear by causing the car to operate for longer than necessary.

For every 10 minutes our engine is off, we prevent one pound of carbon dioxide from being released (carbon dioxide is the primary contributor to global warming)

11 million tons of carbon dioxide, 55,000 tons of nitrogen oxides, and 400 tons of particulate matter are emitted into the environment from heavy-duty truck idling during rest periods.
