EcoDash - Honorable Mention

Nova Hacks is proud to announce a feature article on EcoDash for the Nova Hacks I hack.

EcoDash emerged from a desire to empower people to make eco-conscious choices in their daily commutes. Given the urgency of climate change, EcoDash aims to promote sustainable travel by offering real-time route suggestions for walking, biking, or using public transit.

Building and Growing EcoDash

EcoDash uses ASP.NET for its backend, with MongoDB storing user routes and data, including images via GridFS. Integrating real-time data from various transport APIs posed challenges, particularly balancing calculations for CO₂ and calorie tracking across transport modes.

The Team’s Future Roadmap

The team created a smooth user experience, bringing together route planning, gamification, and eco-awareness. Looking ahead, EcoDash plans to introduce a mobile app, expand transport options, and offer personalized insights to boost accessibility and user impact.

We plan to expand EcoDash by integrating more transport services and adding additional metrics, such as time saved and monetary savings.
