THANKS EVERYONE FOR THIS YEAR’S EDITION!
Smart Mobility Winner
Team Thor
An user from outside of
Barcelona wants to go from A to B. The plan is to calculate where the user will
park its car in a micro city when reaching Barcelona, and then it calculates the
public transport the he will need to use to reach the point B.
An App is used to help the user
finding those Micro Cities and the services inside it. If the user uses those services, he's rewarded with discounts.
Driving Experience Apps Winner
Team Vader
Giving the users an app that encourages them to take alternative routes that minimize the overall user travel time. In the event of him having to take a route different from the optimal one, the user will be rewarded. The app uses OpenStreetMap and is browser oriented.
Driving Experience Hardware Winner
Team Vegeta
Detection and early warning of cyclists or other two-wheeled vehicles. Through ibeacon technology, vehicles will be able to detect those vehicles or obstacles by incorporating an ibeacon device that allows them to be located at a distance. Even without visibility, the vehicle could detect with a margin of error of few centimeters what is the position of the bike or motorcycle.
THIS IS: HACKATHON MOBILITY BCN
Phones were made to better connect us to the world: they were mainly designed as a tool for calls, but have evolved to make our lives easier. New technologies such as cameras, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi have made our experiences with phones wider and better. Since we carry our phones most of the time, the context of their use is almost infinite.
Cars were made to better connect us to the world: just like our phones, they are evolving with the new technologies that are being introduced. Since the context of their use is basically the streets, their capacity to understand what’s going on around them and in the city will be crucial in the future of Mobility.
The car itself is the subject of research: our demands on our vehicles are increasing, as we want them to be more comfortable and easier to use. New applications and hardware help us to achieve this.
The hackathon, sponsored by SEAT and ALTRAN, focuses on these aspects: the future of mobility, our experience with it, and the services derived from its use. This creative event includes tutorials on key technologies. A wide range of devices will be available for use, and sensor data from a smart car will be provided to validate the solutions that are developed.
CATEGORIES
Smart mobility
The exchange of data between cars and cities is going to be crucial in the context of the future of mobility.
Every car is a portable device, full of sensors logging what’s happening on the streets.
What services are going to be created using the capacity to exchange data among thousands of cars and the city itself?
Driving Experience (apps)
Drivers and passengers are becoming increasingly demanding of their cars and digital interactions with them. Smartphone applications can help to make our lives easier; our cars cannot fall behind.
What new digital applications to improve our driving experience are going to be present in our smartphones and cars?
Driver Experience (technologies)
Technology to make drivers and passengers more comfortable is becoming more relevant every day. Cars can read, learn and provide data to make new technology more personal.
What new technologies will future cars include to make us feel more comfortable with our experience?
Last year’s winners
The main idea of this project is to combine two cameras inside the car with an autonomous learning machine, in order to automatically adjust parameters than can affect the driver’s experience, for example: automatically adjusting the mirrors or sunshade.
The main idea of this project is to develop a web app that can be used to find empty parking spaces, which cuts down on the time and fuel that is wasted in looking for places to park. The app can provide big data from its sensors for subsequent analysis.
The main idea of this project is to establish interaction between the driver and the steering wheel through preprogramed vibration patterns.
