Veelog is an Android application created to monitor and track data regarding maintenance for an individual's personal vehicles. For instance, most car owners change their oil every 10,000 miles or so. The application will help track this data, allowing users to identify their own range of how often a service needs to be completed and provide helpful information when the need comes around. The goal of the application is to provide a platform for individuals to record, use, and save information relevant to themselves as the owner. By ensuring that there is space for the data to be recorded and properly tracked, car owners can take initiative in providing preventative maintenance for their vehicles. The idea for the application originally came from observing many individuals who keep a notebook in each of their vehicles for recording and keeping track of maintenance schedules manually. Veelog is a solution that keeps all maintenance manuals in one place, with the additional benefit of calculating upcoming services automatically. Veelog users can also make customizations to their profiles including custom services that are specific to their own needs. The target users for Veelog are individuals who want to be proactive in servicing their vehicles. The application requires frequent checking and regular updates to stay current and provide accurate information for upcoming services. Being proactive about vehicle maintenance provides long term benefits such as preventing serious car trouble, which ultimately results in saving money and staying safe and makes the application worth the extra attention. Ideally, individuals who have not previously been proactive about vehicle maintenance will also be encouraged by the convenience that Veelog provides.
