Ocean Guard Systems was designed to monitor and detect water parameters in the open sea as well as in inland waterways. The system will accurately detect and notify the user in a timely fashion of any sources of impurities in the waterways. This particular prototype is designed for detecting oil spills and chemicals leached into the ocean from oil rigs and other marine-based operations.

Using a Raspberry Pi, Sensors to track temp and a camera, we will build a system to monitor the conditions of or near a coral reef. This data will be transmitted over the internet to an inland server which will then feed information to a web interface. The system will be standalone and directed to marine biologists, SCUBA divers and others with interest in the happenings of the reef.

Solution:With the use of a raspberry pie and multiple light sensors, parking spaces will be determined if they are vacant. Light sensors will be placed in individual parking spaces. When a car parks in that specific park space the light sensor will acknowledge the change in light due to the car’s shadow and determine that that parking space is occupied. Multiple light sensors will be connected to one pie to reduce cost. This information is sent to the pie via cables, which is then sent to a database to be updated via some wireless network. There will also be a mobile application that will have access to this database to help patrons determine where they are most likely to get a park. Owners will be able to use the information from the database to view data such as average time spent in the car park, where drivers prefer to park, parking frequency as it relates to time and so on.

Solution: DRegHIS (Distributed Regional Health Information System) is an electronic queueing system which is incorporated using NFC technology which was submitted as an entry into The Teleios Code Jam. The system records how many people are in a particular Health Centre and displays that information as it changes in real-time.

This Android application was designed to work in tandem with ‘Beacons’. A single beacon comprised the RaspberryPi as well as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi adapters. The Beacons would emit a low energy bluetooth signal whose strength can be altered to cover more or less area. It is envisioned that they would be spread across Trinidad and when someone with the application comes within range of a Beacon, appropriate content about the landmark would be delivered to their device in the form of pictures, text and video.

• Tourists, as well as locals, not knowing about places of interest in Trinidad and Tobago.
• The availability of historical information at places of interest.
• The lack of data collection related to locations of interest, such as statistics on the number of persons who have visited the particular site;number of persons that are currently at the site;etc.
• The lack of ratings/ reviews about a particular place of interest.

Solution: The solution will address the problem in the following ways:

• The application will provide tourists and other site visitors with recommendations and locations of interest based on their criteria.
• At places of interest, users will be able to receive information on their device about the site they are currently at. This information will be stored on the cloud, which will be accessed by the Pi and streamed to the user’s device.
• Analytical data will be compiled and analysed to benefit the tourism sector.
• The application will also have features to allow users to rate and review the places of interest. These reviews will also be available to other users.

(before Uber)

The current model of taxis in Trinidad is a prime candidate for the ease of use and modernization that ICT solutions can offer.

• Our purposes is simply to get riders in touch with available drivers.
• Be picked up wherever you are.
• As a driver, receive notification about passengers who are ready to be picked up.
• Intoxicated? Get home in a timely manner without endangering other road users.

Impact on Society:

• Reduce the number of drivers operating without appropriate licenses
• Reduce the desire for people to drive under the influence and by extension, related accidents.
• Improve foot traffic to the underserved areas of the country
• Improve the potential earnings of drivers.

Solution: Keeping up with this year’s theme of “The Internet of Things” team Dawn recognises that through human interaction; commonplace ‘things’ in our lives form a complex network of relationships and seek to use this connectivity towards improving everyday life. Our solution Budget-Ting focuses on food, from diet plans to grocery stores to the kitchen, by providing an optimal plan for scheduled grocery shopping based on nutritional needs within specific financial constraints.

Web application development: HTML, PHP, JavaScript, MySQL, Polymer Framework

Farmers are coming to the realization that the current system represents a threat

to their potential revenue and are seeking ways to even the playing field.

Solution:

AgriDirect allows our user to set their interest in buying and selling a particular produce. We then automatically send them a notification when a matching party is available within their geographic area.

• We push notifications to our users’ device only when there’s a match
• We remove the problem of requiring users to have to search for what they need
• GPS utilization allows us to provide relevant matches based on a radius determined by user

Market Opportunity

• Farmers – direct access to consumers
• End consumers – ability to browse produce at their leisure
• Advertisers – accessible user base
• Retailers – network of large scale farmers
• Competitive Advantage:
  • Eliminates the need to spend time searching for results
  • Extensibility and scalability through the use of Google App Engine
  • Direct transactions earns our farmers higher revenues

Problem:

The issue of crime prevention is a complex one that can be addressed with the use of a crowd sourced option for security

Solution:

AlerTTallows users to send smart notifications to each other whenever they detect potential criminal activity within a given geographical area. Notifications are routed to users within a specific radius.

• Push notifications are sent user devices that inform them of what is occurring around them.
• Notifications arrive on connected devices almost instantly
• GPS utilization allows our users to know exactly where a notification is coming from and receive radius notifications that are relevant to them.

How does it work?

• The AlerTTdevice is outfitted with sensors and installed in your home. Your home then becomes another device on the internetthat you can interact with.
• AlerTTsends a notification to its owner and users within range when its sensor is triggered signaling that an event has occurred.
• AlerTTcan be deactivated by the owner upon accessing its configpage
• Users of the AlerTTapp can send a receive notifications of different types and view area activity from a map interface

Crop Out is a farmer’s guide to a more efficient marketable crop yield. Using google charts with graphical representation of open data from the Junar data repository, farmers are able to see past patterns and future projections of certain crop yield etc. There are also forums for farmers to communicate about best prices and practises.

Developed a multi-platform web based application: “Crop Out” is a farmer’s guide to a more efficient marketable crop yield.

• Technologies used:
• Javascript
• HTML/ CSS
