The collection of driving data using the mobile application for enviroCar requires a number of manual user interactions. This is unpleasant and tedious over the long run and poses a major obstacle for using the app regularly. To tackle these problems, the enviroCar light project aims to enhance the usability of the enviroCar application by improving the general appearance and by simplifying the workflow of collecting driving data to achieve more user contributions.

The collection of driving data using the mobile application for enviroCar requires a number of manual user interactions. This is unpleasant and tedious over the long run and poses a major obstacle for using the app regularly. To tackle these problems, the enviroCar light project aims to enhance the usability of the enviroCar application by simplifying and automating the workflow of collecting driving data in order to achieve more regular contributions of users.
Another drawback of the mobile application is the implementation style and the rather outdated technologies and libraries used. This makes it hard for external developers to contribute to the enviroCar project. For this reason, another aim of the project is to update the enviroCar app to current standards of Android-related development paradigms.more >
