Inspiration:

We were inspired by the challenges cities face every day traffic congestion, inefficient deliveries, and the rise of autonomous vehicles and drones. We wanted to reimagine mobility as something dynamic, intelligent, and interactive a system where every vehicle or drone reacts, adapts, and competes in real time. That’s how MobilityX was born: a simulator that lets people see, analyze, and optimize mobility like never before.

What it does:

MobilityX models cars, drones, and delivery bots moving through changing environments. It tracks speed, efficiency, energy, collisions, and random events like weather or power fluctuations. A live dashboard shows leaderboards and analytics in real time, giving instant insights into which strategies work best. It’s designed for racing analytics, logistics optimization, or smart city planning basically, anywhere movement matters.

How we built it:

We used Node.js for the backend simulation and React with Three.js for real-time 3D visuals. WebSockets allow instant updates to the dashboard. Each agent’s movement is based on physics formulas, so acceleration and deceleration feel realistic, yet the system is fast and smooth even with hundreds of agents.

Challenges we ran into:

Handling hundreds of moving agents without lag, synchronizing real-time updates, and building lightweight but realistic physics were our biggest hurdles.

Accomplishments we’re proud of:

We built a fully interactive, real-time simulator that’s visually engaging, scalable, and flexible enough for racing, logistics, and urban mobility analysis.

What we learned:

We gained hands-on experience with real-time systems, agent-based modeling, and interactive visualizations, and we saw how one simple idea inspired by real-world problems can turn into a tool with huge potential.

What’s next for MobilityX:

Add AI-driven adaptive agents, multi-user simulation competitions, and integration with real-world GPS and IoT data turning MobilityX into a research and innovation platform for smarter cities.
