Abstract

People usually want every aspect of their lives optimized. We tend do this because we want to make our daily chores easier and at the same time save on time, money or anything else we find important. An example of this would be our daily commute to school, work or any other destination and back again. If we were to calculate the amount of time spent driving, we would quickly be able to conclude that it is not a small sum. Why not optimize our drive, avoid traffic events along the way and thus save on time and avoid the unnecessary stress? With this idea in mind, we developed a mobile and web application called Moja Cesta that alerts users about traffic events ahead. Users can view all relevant traffic events and can also submit events if a new one happened and is not yet listed. The new submitted event is then distributed to all other users. Because the application uses the users’ exact location, it can alert the user about upcoming events with a very high degree of accuracy.
