Case Study

Background

The global pandemic and lockdowns have made socialization more difficult. As the lockdown mandates have lifted or eased, people are faced with new social problems, if they hadn't already experienced them prior to the pandemic. People may find that their social circles may have contracted, e.g. people still not comfortable being in public. Or maybe they never had an extensive social circle to begin with, or at least had people with whom they share common interests. This product facilitates social connections based on common interests and desire to participate in activities and events with companionship.

Problems

• Roadtrip travelers  have concerns with safety, security, or enjoyment of:
      o Home - e.g. house sitter, pet sitter.
      o Vehicle - e.g. gas fill up, maintenance & operating issues.
      o Journey - e.g. food, water, gas, bathrooms, entertainment, road safety.
      o Destination - e.g. weather, inclement conditions, business hours/closures.
• Roadtrip travelers need and desire functions and services that would assist them in preparing, organizing, and managing in real time
  roadtrips in order to maximize the enjoyment, security, and safety of their home, vehicle, journey, and destination activities.
