Inspiration
We got our inspiration from one of our team members, when he overslept his bus stop. Therefore, we decided to create an app that not only shows the bus route to the user, but also alerts him/her when they have reached their desired destination.
What it does
The app is able to show the bus route to the user and the user is able to set an alarm that sounds off when his/her station is reached. Our app integrates a 3 beep system, and dependant on the user's distance and their bus stop, there would be 3 different beeps.
How we built it
We have built the app on React Native using Javascript and Python.
Challenges we ran into
Some of the challenges that we have run into is trying to integrate the GPS into the application and making use of Arduino and the LCD display as we have not used it before.
Accomplishments that we're proud of and what we have learned
We are trying to integrate the GPS into the application and we have figured out how to connect the LED display to the Arduino display.
What's next for ALARM-O-STOP
If we are provided more time would like to integrate features such that our app is able to help the visually impaired.
