Project Description
Problem Statement
People need multiple bus and train trips to get to a destination, and there is a big time lag with transition time. compared to driving.
Buses sometimes are not reliable, cancellations with no notice, often get delayed
The routine is not personalized to you
Solution
This app combines multiple apps, Google Maps, AT Mobile, and AT Park, to make public transport more accessible and user-friendly. If your route on public transport takes several busses or trains, this app can show you the nearest car park to a stop so that it only takes one bus or train to your destination.
As our aim is to make positive climate impact by using public transport, we also have the information about how much Carbon emission you have saved by choosing public transport over your own vehicle for this routine. To do so, we would link your AT account with your car information. It would also give you an estimation of how much fuel you have saved.
We also implement Google API with real time traffic data to suggest the optimal path to take at that time, suggest alternative bus/route if the current chosen bus is cancelled.
Future Consideration
Automatic Bus Tag On/Off & Parking Payment
With a set route, automatically start paying for parking when entering car park and automatically tag on and off bus.
Rerouting
If a bus is cancelled or if you're going to miss the set bus, reroute to the next fastest stop and car park.
Eco-friendly score
Sending weekly report about how much Carbon emission you've saved by choosing to take the bus instead of driving.
Driving View Mode
When driving to the car park, have a driving view mode similar to Google Maps / Waze.
Set Time & Schedule
Set a time when you need to get to location and when you're leaving to specify the route going back to car park.
bus instead of driving.
Road map
2023Q2: incorporate AT app as an extension
2024Q2" expand to other bus service
Data Story
AT Bus Service
We use this data to figure out which bus we can take for certain destination input and how far it is between 2 points, which we then use to calculate how much carbon emission we could save by choosing a bus over our own car
AT Parking Service
We use this data to figure out where there are parking facilities so that we can park nearby and take the bus from there
AT Metro bus performance report
We use this data to analyze and predict what bus would have more tendency to be delayed or less reliable than the other amongst the available bus for certain routes.
Apart from that, we also use Google API to incorporate real-time traffic data and a Carbon emission calculator add-on to calculate the amount of carbon footprint our car generates, from then seeing how much carbon emission we save by not driving but taking bus
