Final Year Project
Project Title
Waymore
Description
Waymore aims to be a stepping stone to building sustainable road infrastructure by gathering anonymous sensor data from vehicles, in order to better understand where roads need to be designed better for safety, traffic, pedestrians, etc. It does this by gathering lane-level precise location information, as well as detecting which manoeuvres are taking place, for example, a right turn. This is the first step in ensuring Karachi, and other cities which are on track to become global mega-cities and can develop sustainable infrastructure to serve the needs of its inhabitants without becoming a hindrance in their day-to-day lives.
