EVault - Automation System for E-Waste Scraping

EVault is an innovative e-waste management solution designed to accept and process recycling requests specifically for electronic vehicles. The system allows users to schedule waste collection requests, choose their location on a real-time map, and utilizes GraphHopper API to trace optimal routes, calculate time, and distance. The system uses Go for the backend with a Fyne-based GUI for easy user interaction.

Features

• E-Waste Collection Requests: Submit the request with specified details.

• Real-Time Map Integration: Can select location on real-time map, (i used osm with leaflet.js for this).

• Route Calculation: Uses GraphHopper API to trace the best routes and calculate the distance and time to the pickup location.

• Automatic Monitoring: The system checks pending requests every 5 minutes to ensure smooth operation.

• In-App Notifications: Notifications are sent to the users when a collection request is completed.

  

• Scalability: Designed to scale to handle increasing numbers of users and requests efficiently.

Technologies Used

• Go (Golang): Core backend logic for processing requests and server-side operations.
• Fyne Framework: GUI framework for frontend development and user interface.
• GraphHopper API: For route tracing, distance, and time calculation for pickups.
• OSM with leaflet.js:For real-time mapview integration.
• PostgresSql:For database,storage and access.

Installation

To run this project locally, follow these steps:

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/Whitfrost21/EVault.git
cd EVault

2. Install Dependencies

Install the required dependencies by running:

go mod tidy

3. Set Up GraphHopper API Key

Sign up for a GraphHopper account to obtain an API key. Then, set the API key as an environment variable:

export GRAPHHOPPER_API_KEY="your_api_key"

4. Set up PostgresSql

Install postgresql

sudo pacman -S postgresql

Start the PostgresSql server

sudo systemctl start postgresql
sudo systemctl enable postgresql

create database

sudo -u postgres psql
CREATE DATABASE evault_database;

verify database

    \l

5. Run the Application

Start the EVault server with the following command:

go run main.go

🔔 Note: I have'nt define any quality determination and cost evaluation method just them manually ,may be thinking to improve them in future.also i dont add any user authentication while login
