Simple Speed Alarm App

1. Project Overview

This project focuses on developing a mobile app that uses the device’s built-in sensors (GPS) to detect a rider’s speed and triggers an alarm if they exceed a predefined speed limit. The app is designed to help riders stay aware of their speed while promoting road safety. This tool will not only benefit individual users but also open opportunities for the agency to collaborate with traffic authorities or safety organizations, thus enhancing your agency’s rapport in the community.


2. Project Objectives

  • Develop a mobile app that continuously monitors the user’s speed using the device’s GPS.
  • Implement a feature to set a speed limit, triggering an alarm when exceeded.
  • Ensure the app functions in the background and provides notifications even when minimized.
  • Create a user-friendly interface for setting speed limits and enabling/disabling the alarm.
  • Promote the app as a potential safety tool in collaboration with traffic agencies.

3. Required Skills

  • Basic understanding of mobile app development (Android/iOS).
  • Familiarity with GPS and mobile sensor integration.
  • Experience with setting up background tasks and push notifications in mobile apps.
  • Knowledge of a mobile development framework like Flutter or React Native.

4. Tools & Technologies

  • Mobile Development Framework: Flutter (Dart) or React Native (JavaScript)
  • Sensors Integration: GPS API for speed detection
  • Push Notifications: Firebase or native notification systems
  • Development Tools: Android Studio or Visual Studio Code
  • Version Control: GitHub

5. Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Research & Planning: Understand how to access and use GPS data to calculate speed on mobile devices.
  2. UI/UX Design: Create a simple interface where users can set a speed limit and enable/disable the alarm.
  3. GPS Integration: Implement code to capture speed in real-time using the device’s GPS and compare it with the set speed limit.
  4. Alarm & Notifications: Develop an alarm feature that triggers audio/visual alerts when the speed limit is exceeded, even if the app is running in the background.
  5. Testing & Fine-Tuning: Ensure accuracy of speed detection, responsiveness of alarms, and smooth background performance.
  6. Collaboration Pitch: Prepare the app for potential partnerships with traffic authorities for promotion.

6. Expected Outcome

A working mobile app that:

  • Allows users to set a custom speed limit.
  • Continuously tracks speed via GPS.
  • Triggers an alarm when the speed exceeds the limit.
  • Runs efficiently in the background and sends notifications.

Deliverables:

  • The app APK (for Android) or IPA (for iOS) file for installation.
  • Documentation explaining how the app works and how it can be used.
  • A report on possible collaboration strategies with traffic police or safety organizations.

7. Learning Outcomes

  • Gain experience in mobile app development (Flutter/React Native).
  • Learn how to integrate GPS sensors in real-time applications.
  • Understand how to set up background tasks and push notifications.
  • Enhance problem-solving skills by ensuring GPS accuracy and user-friendly interface development.
  • Explore opportunities for app-based community or organizational partnerships.

8. How This Helps Our Agency

This app promotes road safety, aligning the agency with responsible tech and community engagement initiatives. It offers the potential for collaboration with traffic authorities and road safety campaigns, improving the agency’s visibility and brand image in the public sector. Additionally, it demonstrates the agency’s capability to create meaningful apps that contribute to public well-being.


9. Timeline

  • Week 1: Research and UI/UX Design (Speed Monitoring, Interface)
  • Week 2: GPS Integration and Speed Detection Development
  • Week 3: Alarm and Notifications Implementation
  • Week 4: Testing, Optimization, and Final Adjustments
