Aman - AS2 - Week 10 Blog: Development Progress and Remote Collaboration

By

Week 10 saw continued progress on the app with the team working through the Open Charge Map API integration and the trip planner improvements. Due to Manzil having internet issues at his place the main session was held at Tausif's, and I joined online to stay across what was being worked on and contribute where I could.

The Open Charge Map API was successfully integrated this week with real public charging stations now populating in the Explorer screen with distance indicators showing correctly. This was a direct response to Roshan's Week 9 feedback about needing real data in the app. I stayed connected during the session, reviewing progress and contributing feedback on the feature direction as the work came together. Remote collaboration across the team kept momentum going despite the logistical challenges of the week.

 This week I suggested that we build a web-based application, since it would be easier to present and maintain . I also shared my screen to walk my team through serveral of my past project s, includes a Movie Review Web App , an Advanced Web Project , a Shooter Game and a Task/Calender App . These demonstrations highlight my technical ability acrosss both web and game development and based on this the team suggrested that I would be the most suitable choice to take on the role of main developer for the project. Beyond my project showcases, I also supported our collaboration setup by creating a Discord server so the team could share updates and stay connected outside formal meetings.

Tausif Rahman This week I presented the  Audit App  concept with its two parts:  Order Audit (OrderAuditPro)  and  Walkthrough Auditor . I later uploaded documentation and demonstration files of an Android version of the Order Audit module, which helped the team understand the concept more clearly. In addition, I encouraged the team to think about their  past subject projects  by asking what they had worked on in Android, iOS, cross-platform, and project management courses, to see if those experiences could be adapted into our current project. Alongside that, I shared several of my own past coursework projects, such as  ScholarSwap  (resource and book exchange platform),  SurvivAway  (a budgeting and life-flow helper), and  FocusFlow  (a study planner with ADHD-focused features). I also raised the issue of  legal risks  in some ideas, such as consumer liability in a Parking App or data security concerns in a Pass...

Week 5 Blog: Individual Contributions

  participated in the voting process and initially leaned toward the Audit App, but after deeper discussions, I found the Customer Service Checker and Vehicle Manager ideas more scalable and innovative. I located an academic paper titled E-Charge, which described an EV-charging-station planning system using open data and efficiency modelling. I shared the paper with the group and led a discussion on how its methods could guide our approach—particularly its use of driver-collected data, efficiency mapping, and route-planning optimisation. I also helped analyse how to simplify our version for Trimester 1, keeping it practical while leaving room for AI integration later. Additionally, I began finding and reviewing more EV-planning research papers to contribute to our shared knowledge base.
