Mobility App MVP — Smart Urban Vehicle Sharing Platform

A full-stack smart vehicle sharing platform developed as part of an EIC Accelerator €2.5M grant project. Designed to optimize last-mile urban mobility through real-time fleet management, ML-powered demand prediction, and seamless mobile UX.

Project Context

This MVP was built for an EIC (European Innovation Council) Accelerator application — Europe's flagship innovation program supporting high-potential startups. The platform demonstrates a viable product for the grant evaluation process.

Features

• Mobile App (React Native / Expo) — Cross-platform iOS/Android user interface for vehicle discovery, booking, and payments
• Backend API (Node.js + Express) — RESTful microservices for fleet management, user auth, and booking logic
• ML Demand Prediction (Python/FastAPI) — Time-series forecasting for vehicle redistribution optimization
• Real-time Fleet Tracking — GPS-based vehicle location and availability updates
• Payment Integration — Stripe payment processing for rides and subscriptions
• Admin Dashboard — Operator dashboard for fleet management and analytics
