enviroCar is a citizen science community that gathers, distributes and analyses floating automobile data for traffic management and environmental purposes. The enviroCar app for mobile devices offers functions including track recording, track exploration, and track uploading as “open data” to the server for analysis. Real-time information about the recorded tracks, including their length and distance, is also provided.

enviroCar Mobile is an Android application for smartphones that can be used to collect Extended Floating Car Data. A Bluetooth OBD2 adapter is used to communicate with the app while driving. This enables read access to data from the vehicle’s engine control. The data is recorded along with the smartphone’s GPS position data. The driver can view statistics about his drives and publish his data as open data. The latter happens by uploading tracks to the enviroCar server, where the data is available under the ODB licence for further analysis and use. The data can also be viewed and analysed via the enviroCar website.
This year in Google Summer of Code 2022, the goal of the enviroCar App: Voice Command project was to provide a better user-friendly experience by automating the actions of the enviroCar Android application using voice commands. I have worked on various goals of the project which you can read about in my previous blogs. In my final blog post, I want to present the outcomes of the project, which have been achieved over the last 12 weeks.

The OGC Maps API provides maps and map data through dynamically rendered electronic maps. The API has multiple endpoints, each providing geospatial data using a variety of parameters.
In this blog post, I’ll be citing the work I did during this year’s Google Summer of Code (GSoC) under the guidance of my mentor Mr Benjamin Pross. For more detailed information, please visit my introductory blog post, midterm blog post, GitHub repository, and the API wrapper documentation.
This project aims to develop a terminal client and an API wrapper for the REST API endpoints in Python. These include the styles, collections, and the maps endpoint as a whole.
The main objectives of the project are as follows:
