Aman - AS2 - Week 9 Blog: Checkpoint Demonstration and Feature Planning

By

Week 9 was a key week for the project. The checkpoint demonstration took place in class where the team presented the current state of VehicleGrid to Roshan across all three portals. I attended and contributed to the presentation, supporting Tausif and Manzil in demonstrating the host charger listing flow, admin verification rubric and driver explorer and booking screens.

Roshan's feedback was constructive. He acknowledged the strength of the application structure and the host marketplace concept but noted that the app needed greater backend depth, real data integration through an external API and EV intelligence features to reach the higher grade bands. Following the session the team identified two priority features to add before Week 12, the Open Charge Map API integration into the map screen and a working EV range calculator in the trip planner. These directly addressed the feedback and gave the development a clear direction for the final weeks.

After the class Tausif ran a full testing session and documented the bugs and issues found across all three portals. I reviewed the findings and stayed across the plan for what needed to be fixed and built before submission. The team left the week with a clear picture of what remained and a structured approach to getting there.

 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...

  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.
