Q.

Water Quality Testing

Many areas around the world survive on natural water supplies like wells, ponds, dugouts, and lakes.
In such cases, testing the quality of water becomes vital as it directly affects the health of all
individuals involved. The water quality may deteriorate over time or suddenly, and most of the times,
the change goes undetected. Continuous water quality testing determines specific issues and ensures
the safety of the water.

Build solutions that allow efficient testing of water sources or bodies to determine the safety level of
water.

[Link] Management

Warehouses are an integral component of the Transport and Logistics industry, and tremendous
amounts of operational efficiencies can be unlocked by introduction of intelligent IoT solutions for
Warehouse Management. As a part of the hackathon challenge, the participants are required to
design intelligent IoT solutions for the following use cases:

Intelligent packaging

Intelligent IoT solutions that help determine if the products packaged are authentic and not
counterfeit, detect tampering with packaging, monitor and alert users if the ambient temperature is
not optimal, or alert users on expiry dates.

Indoor tracking

Combine indoor positioning data and business logic to achieve operational efficiency. Include indoor
positioning, indoor navigation, etc.

Warehouse space optimization

Provide real-time occupancy levels of the warehouse, slot-level visibility, stock turnaround, detection
of unused space in warehouses, etc.

Real-time hazardous chemical/gas detection

Ensure safety of warehouse by detecting hazardous, inflammable chemicals/gases that could get
leaked from items stored in a warehouse.

[Link] Vehicles- Remote fault management

Design an IoT solution that allows connected and smart vehicles should be able to detect vehicle
faults remotely and initiate workflows to address the faults.
[Link] City Public Transport

A Smart City uses pre-paid cards for public transport. From this data find the number of people
travelling from/to different stops and propose new bus routes, number of buses required and their
frequency to efficiently handle the passenger load. Also, observe the rate at which passengers on
each route are increasing. Predict the number of buses required to handle the passenger load in
future and suggest when to buy new buses.

To give a broader prospective, you can also come up with a solution that calculates the number of
people commuting within a specific route and depending upon the market information propose the
means of commute. Qualify your views with substantial data which can be based on commute time,
duration and/or economics point of view. Data can be crowd sourced.

Predict the arrival of the next support issue for a product

Products that are already being used by a set of customers, tend to report defects from time to time.
Often these defects occur in the few specific components of the products. Also, some customer
setups report more defects than the rest. The idea is to analyze the history of defect reports and
come up with a prediction on the next possible issue.

[Link] us find our new home !

Hey all, I am Sid, ‘The kid’. I'm here to learn with you. I recently got to know that stars aren't fireflies
which we'd like to grab and adore, but are galaxies and sun with planets revolving around them. I
dream; dream invariably. I dream to travel beyond Earth to see the world outside. What if I go to
some other planet? and what if I see someone living up there? Oh wait, is that even possible? Come,
let's figure that out!

In this hackathon, let's start searching our Exoplanet. Now you ask, what an Exoplanet is? They are
planets outside our solar system.

What are we going to do here?

• Understand what exoplanets are all about

• Estimating how far they are from Earth
• What is their position with respect to Earth's angle to us
• What is their orbital period if they are revolving around a star
• Is it possible to live on an orphan planet with no star around?

Let us estimate all of them and put them in a mobile/web app.

Does this sounds hard? No No No! Don't you worry when I'm here. Here's the dataset . This has
extensive information about Exoplanets with variables which explains advanced astrophysics and
astrodynamics of planets and stars.
With the help of this dataset, let's comprehend and implement both app development and space
science in your application.

Open to explore!
If you think you can work and explore better results from the given dataset, We encourage you to do
that. You are open to explore and analyse anything :)

Brief -
• Find the nearest exo-planet / analyse the dataset and generate a meaningful report
• Showcase the data and what you have explored, in a simple app.

[Link] time network traffic analysis

Develop a network intrusion detection system with high network throughput. The system should scan,
classify and monitor the network traffic in realtime without affecting the network throughput.
Following are the features – Real time traffic analysis – protocol analysis – content searching – Detect
variety of attacks and probes.

[Link] threat intelligence system

Adopting a collobrative approach to sharing the threat intelligence has its own benefits. The volume of
threat incidences allowing it sophistication of techniques used demands implementation of effective
protective system. You always see only view through one angle and no one has the full picture. Ability
to find needle in a haystack gives the notion of today’s threat and landscape. The system should build
capability of collective threat intelligence to prioritize, focus, detect threats.

Problem: Delay in settlement of crop insurance claims under Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana and
their rejection by insurance companies.

Statement:The Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana scheme has been designed to be pro-farmer,
there have been operational issues in the field. One such challenging problem is the delayed
settlement of insurance claims and their rejection by insurance companies. Due to these issues the
state has witnessed farmer’s agitation for better clarity in the settlement and disbursement of
insurance claims. A suitable App or other solutions need to be developed to track the insurance claim
settlement and payment by the insurance companies and its receipt in the farmer’s bank accounts
under PMFBY.

Solution expected:

• Track the crop insurance claim settlement.

• Track disbursement by the insurance companies.
• Track the claim settlement in the farmer’s bank accounts under PMFBY.
Healthcare
Use technology to create smart healthcare solutions for people residing in urban centres. A unified
healthcare system, with collecting and sharing of data along with analysis and research practices, is
what will determine the future of urban healthcare. The system security should be a priority for
patients’ data.

Activity Analysis
Worker activity assessment (how active vs non-active) during work hours using IMU. Inertial
Measurement Unit (IMU) is a device that measures and reports a body's specific force, angular rate,
and sometimes the magnetic field surrounding the body, using a combination of accelerometers and
gyroscopes, sometimes also magnetometers. You are expected to do a detailed activity analysis of
IMU open data and submit a comprehensive analysis report.

Blockchain for Identity Management

Many people have no way to prove their identity. Further, identity records are usually dispersed
across multiple databases making it difficult to maintain a consistent and updated version of identity
of a person across multiple systems. There is a need for a mechanism that provides a verifiable digital
identity for these individuals. Blockchain at its core, is a new type of Database system in a way that
allows multiple stakeholders to confidently and securely share access to the same data and
information. Create a blockchain app that will manage the digital identity for individuals. The app will
leverage the power of blockchain and should be further integrated with biometrics. Users can fill basic
details like name, age, address, finger print, profession, etc. This registration can be viewed and
approved by a government organization after validating the records. Multiple organizations can
validate various data attributes. For eg, the RTO department can validate driving License details,
universities can validate education details, etc. Users should have an option to selectively share the
data he/she wishes to share (like biometrics, biographic data, education etc.) with anyone by selecting
the data attribute and entering the ID of the third party
