I am a beginning android developer and I am looking to have something innovative. I am also looking to get into hypermiling when I thought I could bridge the gap by merging the two.
At this point, I am not aware of any apps that help hypermiling. However, android phones connect to the internet, have force sensors, gps, and other sorts of hardware/software goodies that make it a perfect candidate to be used as an aide.
So, my idea for the app would include the following features:
- Instant MPG
- Average MPG
- MPG tracker - enter in info when you fill up your tank of gas filled + current millage
- Force sensors - warn if braking or accelerating too quickly
- Advance notice of stop signs/hills so you can begin to coast
If you have any other ideas, it would be greatly appreciated. For the MPG calculates, a bluetooth OBD2 device would be required. Let me know.
