Problem Many students and businessmen are on the go for meetings and don't have a reliable source for knowing when to leave. This is an issue because many people don't know what is happening on the roads, traffic, construction, etc, causing people to arrive at an un-timely manner to meetings. Our Solution: This service provides a text message reminder of when you need to leave for a meeting or event by determining the traffic flow and giving you an estimated time for departure. Here's how it works: You fill out your calendar events and the times you need to be there, once that time comes is scheduled, the service will send you two push notifications. Once for when you need to leave 30 minutes in advance and a second time when you need to leave immediately. Application Story of Product: When I was in elementary school, school started at 8:30 a.m. I lived about five minutes away from my school and since it was a private school, my parents drove me every day. Both my parents are computer engineers and at the time they worked for Sprint. But despite my school being five minutes away from my house, I seemed to be a few minutes late and my parents also were a few minutes late to work each day. At one point, my first grade teacher told me that I would have to be on time to school or else I would miss recess that day. So I went home that day and talked to my parents. I told them we had to leave extra early so that I wouldn't get in trouble. So then from that day forth, I was extra early to school. The downside of being early meant that I had nothing to do for 20 minutes until school started. A great median for this problem is a service that could get you to your destination right on time while knowing the traffic flow surrounding you, by creating an exact estimation for when you have to leave. The service I conceptualized provides real-time reminders for when you have to be at your destination based on the traffic. It also provides alternative routes to avoid traffic so you can get to your destination quicker. Waze, a social network for traffic and other events happening on the road is a competitor. My service provides a reminder to the customer for when they have to leave based off of information from Google Maps and will also provide an alternative route to your destination. With Waze, you have to open up the application and check what is going on around you to search the traffic flow in your area. Many phones have the calendar application which links up to your email and sends you a reminder on your phone about the event, but the down-side is that it doesn't tell you when you have to leave to arrive on time. There is also traffic radio, but you can only listen to that when you get in the car, so you don't know what is going on with the road ahead of time. Waze has customers telling others what is happening on the road such as construction, a police officer, an accident, or traffic but does not provide reminders for a time to leave. This reminder service has an advantage that many of my competitors don't have:
