4. Our Project
Motor Vehicle Assistance System (MVAS) is a project that would enable car
users and mechanics to use existing technologies to save money, time, and
built trust and good relationship with mechanics and car users.
The service would use an On-Board Diagnostic Device (OBD-ll) that would
communicate with any OBD-ll enabled car (starting models 2002 onwards)
and read back and share real time data, perform basic performance testing
and diagnostics which can be easily transmitted to smartphones via
Bluetooth.
This would alert you of the real time diagnostics of your car and it can notify
also your designated mechanic for any faults and malfunctions that may
occur.
5. What we want to do now?
This solution is first of its kind, the technology however our intention was to
make a solution which makes a car users life simpler and saves them both
time and money.
When exploring a direction we carried out many types of research including
going to AA, NZTA and many car mechanics.
We decided to have the project just do problem detection and reporting
solution in the first phase of this project and this would be an ice-breaker for
the project and just the tip of the iceberg of what this solution can offer.

22. Our Status and Future Recommendations
• We have identified the market which can make use of this technology and
business idea which is customer’s using Japanese cars manufactured after
2002.
• We would use mobile application platform on which we would like to
deliver this solution and it can be available on both Android and Apple app
stores.
• This project involves use of OBD2 device which can be imported from china
and can easily be white labelled and shown as the OEM of the company
selling the solution.
• The car market which needs to be address has to be clear before ordering
the OBD as they are not compatible with all car types that would help us
order different variants to address most of the models available in the
market. Further Study on this would needed to be carried out.
23. Conclusion
• The project stands as a study and we know there is a business market for it.
• This idea would be need to be shown to a party who would interested in
developing it and deploying it as it is very promising.
• We have identified revenue streams during our discussion and we know
this business idea is feasible to deploy.
• This idea is evolvable as the OBD device is capable of doing more than just
reporting diagnostic errors.
• We expect the development for this project to go live would need
automotive and electrical engineers combined with a team of software
developers and networking engineers to ensure the networking between
different connectivity modules are working.

We enjoyed developing this project, hope you like it.
