Assemble a team of 2-3 members.
Develop an innovative solution based on the assigned topic during the 48 hours competition.
Make a short presentation about the project that you worked on.
Pitch your solution in front of the jury.
Detect and notify the company when a node (charging station) in the network has a failure or a blackout. Also constantly keep track of how all the nodes in the network are performing.
Monitor the power usage and send statistics data to a cloud in order to detect any high demand zones or fluctuation levels.
Implement a peer-to-peer payment system for vehicles on the grid so that the connected vehicles could trade energy with each other instead of using an electric company as an intermediate.
Find innovative solutions for recycling and reusing batteries used in the automotive industry after their maximal usage in the car. Come up with ideas regarding the afterlife of the batteries; how we can further use them in a daily basis powering up products and preserving their initial build purpose.
Implement a solution that will use the vehicle’s GPS and 360˚ camera while driving, to identify empty parking spots as well as potholes and other road hazards and update them in real time on the map in order to be seen by other drivers.
Develop an AI tool that will use the GPS data and the car’s camera to anticipate driving conditions like a hill, a corner, a slippery area and adjust the speed of the car, the suspension, the lights and the gears for driving optimization.
Create an app (mobile/progressive web app) that will be an emergency solution for someone if their car discharges completely or almost completely in the middle of nowhere. Being in that unpleasant situation, one can request other electric car drivers from nearby to supply them with some energy from their batteries, enough to reach a charging station.
Provided a CAN network and a list of message rules, read the packets that are sent via CAN protocol and discover the id of each component as well as the messages and then send your own messages to control the components (the lights of a car’s instrument cluster or the speed needle etc.).
Drones
Smart watches
