Inspiration

There are a lot of of cars in rush hour that only carries the driver. This creates unnecessary traffic, stress and boredom. The traffic management agencies tries to encourage drivers to take passengers by having lanes that require 1 or 2 passengers. However, most people driving alone don't know anyone who are going the same way. So they take their own car alone, and contribute to emission, reduced air quality and longer queues.

What it does

Looplip will let the drivers find passengers in the area close to them and arrange for them to meet. Reducing the amount of cars driving from the same place to the same place and allowing them to take the faster lanes. They will split the cost of the trip.

How we built it

We are using react native to build the app itself, sketch to skin it to look a little bit prettier. We're using data about the cars CO2 emissions, fuel/mile, number of seats and car type and name from Vegvesenet's dataset. In order to calculate things like cost of the trip.

Challenges I ran into

The Vegvesenet API is closed, and we could not get access to it. So it became a challenge to extract the relevant information. We were able to scrap the information we required from Vegvesenet's webpages.
