2017 Drop Database Within Trinidad and Tobago, there has been a severe problem concerning flooding in many boroughs and water shortages due to droughts. This is due to poor planning from a lack of awareness to the changes in our country's climate due to climate change. People may know of Global Warming, and attribute every hot day to it, but we have found a way to show the quantifiable effects of global warming in order to raise awareness, and to more accurately predict the changes in weather to better prepare farmers, city planners and everyday citizens. We hope, with Met-Oracle, to prepare our city planners and everyday citizens for the trials ahead due to the extreme weather events that result from climate change. Our implementation uses AI, in the form of a model using tensorflow, as well as an array of sensors at strategic locations to better understand the long term effects that global warming will have on our country's climate and thus to adequately prepare. A central server collects predictions from tensorflow and real-time data from sensors and makes a comparison between the two values. Once they are within a margin of error and the data follows a particular weather pattern, the pi receives a response from the server and takes appropriate action. A web app is also used to view the real-time data at a particular sensor.As this system grows and continues to improve over time, the accuracy and reliability will also increase and will better be able to benefit Trinidad and Tobago from an infrastructural and economic standpoint.
2017 Underdogs Details various aspects of the Bus Catcher App.
2017 CodersNextDoor We believe a smart city and country should have smart dining. Restaurant Radar is an app to locate restaurants and places that sell food based on the user's location (using the phone’s built in gps sensors). But we don’t want to send them anywhere, we want them to be able to find restaurants fast food and mobile vendors by the type of food: curry, creole, Chinese, burgers etc.,limit the search radius to say 2 or 3 km and find places that have good ratings and search for specific dishes. It will also guide the user to multi-location events like Trinidad and Tobago restaurant week. The app should give the user the ability to see if the restaurant has space and make a reservations. Also, the app will recommend other food and food places based on the user's history, allow them to search via speech recognition and get results via sound, for hands-free use.
2017 Amigos++ The 'Ay Boy' system is intended to reduce vehicular accidents caused by intoxicated drivers. A camera uses facial expression recognition to determine if the driver is potentially intoxicated. If signs indicate the driver may be impaired, a breathalyzer test is initiated. If the test is failed, an emergency contact is automatically messaged. The target market for this product are employers and parents.
2017 404, Error not Found It's usually impossible or expensive to determine the quality of water that we receive from our water distributors due to the fact that contamination can occur during its path to the user. So utilizing sensors, we are developing a device that can check the contamination level of the water, and provide the data to both the individual user and even to the water distributors with the use of a mobile app or a PC.
2017 VisioTech Recycling is known for being the better alternative to managing waste and preserving our environment, however, accessing reliable facilities that support this system is difficult, especially in Trinidad and Tobago. Being a small island with a fragile ecosystem and limited land space, improper waste management poses a major threat. According to the Trinidad and Tobago Solid Waste Management Company Limited (SWMCOL), in Port of Spain, the island’s capital, 1.54kg of garbage per inhabitant is produced each day. We, VisioTech, hope to develop a smart recycling management solution to combat this problem. The Smart Recycling Collection (SRC) system is an integrated waste management system that coordinates, in real time, the collection and distribution of recyclable materials. This solution targets both citizens and recycling companies, where its main components are the SRC bins and the SRC monitoring application. The SRC bins are equipped with specialized sensors, to detect and transmit data such as bin type (plastics, cans, paper, etc.), bin capacity, and location. This data could then be used to generate collection routes to empty full bins. The bin in conjunction with the SRC monitoring app would allow users to conveniently access relevant information anywhere, anytime. This solution is envisioned to make recycling more convenient for the public while integrating with current recycling structures.
2017 Team MIND Team MIND brings a new innovative approach to security in Trinidad and Tobago. Protection By Detection is a new system that monitors existing CCTV video streams or any current security system to determine if a weapon has been drawn in the frame and sends a discreet alert to an android application so that the user can verify the scenario. A verified alert will immediately send emails containing voice/audio files to the nearest connected authorities. We split the frames of the video feed in order to allow our image recognition AI to calculate a probability score that a weapon is present.
2017 TG Recycling and Garbage Management
2017 LIMITLESS The main purpose of building and producing the D-Watch 2000 is to assist in locating persons in timely manner who are trapped underneath debris when an earthquake or hurricane has occurred. This watch will be able to pinpoint the exact location of the user, identify if the user is alive and calculate the depth of which the person is under. The watch functions as an ordinary watch so users can wear it at all times

2016 5G Our Project Involves the creation of a smart meter system that works with smart receptacles. This allows tracking of the power usage of individual sockets so that the power consumption of each device in a home can be viewed via an android application.
2016 Old and RESTful Hi this is a presentation for Team Old and Restful in our Teleios Code Jam Application: MAS. MAS is an acronym for Metropolitan Alert System. The solution generally entails a collection of networked electronic L E D billboards across the city primarily for ubiquitous dissemination of critical information. This simple yet versatile infrastructure provides many applications from pushing demographical commercial advertisements, government announcements, emergency warnings and traffic reports, this platform allows for addressing city and community based communication problems. L E D displays are now commonplace throughout the country for a means of street advertisement. L E D technology boasts reliable, weather proof, energy efficient displays with wide viewing angles as well as far view distances. Our smart L E D boards would receive messages via a web service that communicates with our MAS web platform which provides a number of broadcasting options to the user. Attached is a proof of concept video of a small scale board receiving a message over Bluetooth. We think our solution is a significant step toward building a smarter city as we revolutionise the flow of information in cities and communities across the country, thank you.

2016 TG With crowdometer you can know exactly when there's crowds at your possible destinations and avoid wasting time waiting. KFC, bus stops, taxi stands, government buildings, all the places you hate having to wait at,you can know if there's a crowd there right now or even view the past crowd history to pick the ideal time to just slip in and slip out. A camera will take a picture of the location's crowd and through a raspberry pi send it to our server. The server interacts with our crowd recognition software which will extract the relevant information from the image. This information is sent to the database and then to the mobile client to be displayed as the real time crowd density in the form of a meter. The information will also be stored in our archive of crowd history for that particular location.
2016 Konnectics Have you ever been in a situation where you’ve arrived at a supermarket with the intent of purchasing a particular item, and suddenly BAMMMM!!! You forgot what you were supposed to get. Or Are you one of those busy hardworking individuals usually on the go, when approaching home, you then realize that you simply cannot recall the contents within you pantry or fridge! The aim of our project is to ease cognitive load. Essentially our solution is geared towards fulfilling such via the introduction of the product called Kitchen Konnect. We aim at creating a dynamic reminder system, with the following technologies. 1. IP/Wifi Cameras - For Live Stream of the pantry or fridge 2. Dynamic Reminder List 3. GeoFence for Location Based Reminders (from supermarket. We intend on developing the solution using an Android Platform for the creation of the reminder list, live stream features ,GPS reminder feature, together with web front to complete a supermarket Order request feature.
2015 #NoChill <p> Teleios- Code Jammers Group Name: #NoChill Description of Problem: Ever had trouble finding a parking space in Port of Spain, a supermarket or even the University? If yes, then we have a solution for you called Smart Parking. High Level view of Solution: With the use of a raspberry pie and integrated 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&rsquo;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.

2015 codeBreakerz The Design and Development of an Emergency Response Evacuation application to manage and provide effective and efficient means of communication and positional support through an emergency situation in academic institutions. Currently emergency response drills in academic institutions succumb to a number of shortcomings. The most prevalent of the group is evacuation clearance uncertainty. In that safety officers are not always certain that compounds are 100% evacuated. This results in a high possibility that civilians could be left behind. It is also found that academic institutions are limited to radio waves as the primary use of communication. This form of communication though emergency response robust, from past experiences have been known to be indistinct thus resulting in poor communication between fire wardens and the civilians on the premises. Another implication found in emergency drills is that a log book is the sole source of verification to state who is on the premises. That being said in cases where individuals are not logged in they would go undetected and be left in the danger zone. A solution however is to develop a mobile application that will be able to detect and communicate with all the civilians on the compound. This will be done via the fusion of motion and position sensors that will be used in unison to provide essential data in the case of an emergency. In order to create the ideal solution to resolve the previously discussed problem, a number of android sensors would be incorporated. This sensor fusion entails the utilization of an accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer sensor. These sensors would be used to together to allow the application to detect the position of a holder of a device within the compound. The Accelerometer is a type of motion sensor built into android devices that provides the magnitude and direction of the changes in the device’s gravity. In other words it helps determine the device’s angle when rotated. This sensor works together with the magnetometer which functions as a compass to determine the magnetic field of a device. This means it monitors which way is north from any rotation that occurs on the device. Though they work hand in hand to calculate the device’s orientation they are unable to maintain fixed dimensions. This is because they are easily affected by gravitational (accelerometer) and magnetic field (magnetometer) interferences. The gyroscope sensor however provides for more accuracy in a short time frame as it is not affected by these interferences. This sensor is incorporated as it measures the various rates of change of rotation which will be integrated to obtain the device’s orientation. That being said, to maintain a virtually fixed orientation value of a device the gyroscope data output would be used to determine orientation in short time frames as it is not subjected to interference. Whereas the accelerometer together with the magnetometer’s data will be used to provide information of orientation changes over a long time frame. This data will then be fused together to provide the “absolute” orientation of the holder of the device in an emergency situation. Ultimately these three sensors would allow the application to track the indoor movement of individuals within the compound and thus resolve the problem of evacuation clearance uncertainty. Another component that assists in resolving this uncertainty is the use of geo-fencing. Geo-fencing will be used to establish a virtual parameter or barrier around the institution as well as its respective muster point. This will be used to keep track of the all individuals who enter and leave the institution's compound. In the case of an emergency it will be used to assist in generating data to detect who left the institution and who reached the muster point’s geo-fence. It also promotes the use of alerts which takes the form of text messages. These text messages are used as another means of communication to alert the relevant authorities of the safety status of individuals and establish communication between themselves and these individuals who are yet to enter the muster point. Text messages are not only used to inform authorities of the safety status of these individuals but also to activate the initial emergency alert to all individuals within the compound. Essentially the incorporation of all the components mentioned above will aim to resolve the current issues found emergency response drills and provide for a more efficient evacuation process to be done. To successfully develop this solution a number of technologies will be incorporated into the solution. This is because both a mobile application and a website will be developed in order to make the solution complete. The mobile application which will be used by Safety and Fire Wardens, Students and Faculty Staff will be coded in Java while the website that would be used by Management will be coded using PHP5 supported by CSS3 for website formatting and JavaScript for client-side validation. The solution will also utilize a technology that would link both the mobile application and website to allow for communication and updates. Therefore, JSON will be used to accomplish this. Since the solution intends to store data for future use; reports and for analyzing purposes, a database coded in My SQLite will be created.

2015 Techno Bratz InfoConnect is an amalgamation of technologies which help us bring the power of the internet to our physical world, in essence, the Physical Web Concept. It's a mechanism by which information about things our surroundings is quickly accessed via a mobile device and displayed to the user. It can also serve as a way to have an interactive learning environment. The solution involves utilizing bluetooth low energy beacons broadcasting in Eddystone’s format, a mobile app for detecting the beacons, a website for displaying information and the internet. For example, configuring this to provide information on a statue is easy. A web page is created with all the relevant information on the statue and published in the internet. The beacon is configured to broadcast the URL of that page and placed on the statue. A sign indicating the availability of a scannable beacon is placed near it. Using the mobile app, the user lists all beacon URLs nearby, sorted by proximity, and selects the desired link. That link takes the user to that web page where more information can be found. In the event the user has no data access on their mobile device at that time, the URL can be saved in a list to be viewed later We will be using bluetooth low energy 4.0 with Eddystone formatted broadcasts for the beacons, Android smartphone, HTML5 web pages with javascript and CSS

2015 SleeplessKnights The project i would like to work on is based on helping the abused to get help. It will be a web application used to signal help based of a keyphrase used by individual. The user will be able to edit their phrase to any word or words they choose to use in a emergency situation. To do this require that I make use of voice recognition. The internet part comes into play when the keyphrase is used. When said the application shall gather all nearby phone contacts on the internet and request assistance by sending a whatsapp message or sms from the users phone. A 5 second voice recording shall also be taped ensuring to the receiver that it is a call for help.Also all smart phones have gps tracking built in so on activation of the keyphrase the gps tracker shall be activated and shall be sent to a list of emails that shall be previously configured into the application by the user.
2015 Game of Codes It is a common occurrence at the UWI St. Augustine campus for students to struggle when looking for classrooms especially when rooms are located in different faculties. There is no existing solution that allows for students to easily locate classrooms other than asking random persons. The proposed solution to this problem is an application that provides a view of the campus, uses technology other than GPS (eg rfid or NFC) to determine user location especially since GPS would not work indoors; based on user location and selected destination, provide a path to the destination. This project will incorporate NFC/RFID technology, google maps API, Google places, GPS (when available).
2015 Banana Bread Waiting in line can be tiring, there are places that can make you wait for hours.This can be stressful for everyone. However, team banana bread has found a solution to this everyday problem. We have develop a way to allow customers to leave the area and receive a notification when their turn in line is close. We will be creating a private website on the raspberry pi that can take inputs of the customers name and phone number. This will then be placed into a database storing the placement of each customer. Their number will be used to send them a message and the name is used for the employee to identify them as well as remove them from the list. To allow the messages to be sent, we will be creating a php file that provides this function and relates to the database to know who to message and when to. The raspberry pi can also be configured as a DHCP server that will allow multiple computers to connect to the website.
2015 M.A.D.S. Link to Synopsis document: https://www.dropbox.com/s/t77401fo5snlrfz/CodeJamSynopsis.pdf?dl=0 CodeJam Synopsis Interactive Tours (name has not been finalised as yet): Problems that are going to be addressed by the implementation of this system: 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. In terms of solving the problem, the following devices/ services will be utilized: Firebase Beacon API, Proximity API Developed by Google Raspberry Pi-2 Bluetooth Transmitter For Raspberry Pi Bluetooth Service on Android Devices 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. The app uses a Raspberry Pi which is connected to different tourist sites. Upon connection to the Pi, via the Google Proximity Beacon API using the Eddystone BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy) format, a mobile device may be allowed to view pictures, videos and historical information about that particular site. These media elements are stored in a remote cloud server which is then downloaded by the Pi, then transferred to the device via bluetooth and the beacon. Firebase will be used to store user data (such as sign-in information and user preferences). The user preferences will be based on a set number of questions asked during initial sign in, whereby the app intelligently selects recommended areas. The app will be sustained in the future by in app purchases (since some content will be locked), as well as advertisements from companies within the tourism industry such as hotels, etc. Collected data analytics will help provide more clarity on the statistics of incoming tourists such as their place of origin, age group, Places of interest etc.

2014 Code Central Our team plans to build a program which will serve as a learning resource tool. This program will be centred around Trinidadian history and will be designed to target school children in the 7-10 year age bracket. The program will be designed to run off the Raspberry Pi board and will utilize a television as an output so that it can be easily displayed to a class of students. A 5 pad capacitive touch sensor will be utilized to provide input commands to the program in order to spark interest in the students. Topics of focus of the program will include the national symbols, Independence day, Republic day and other important aspects of Trinidad which play an integral role in our nation's history, but which remain insignificant to many of the nation's youth. It is our hope that through this program, many young patriots of Trinidad and Tobago will be created.
2014 Radius (EDIT) The project is entitled the PiDrive. It entails the construction of a digital monitoring device for a car. It will be used to process data from various sensors installed throughout the car's engine bay. The raspberry pi will be used to accept sensor data and output useful user information through a LCD screen. Buttons or a touch screen will also be installed to allow user interaction with options displayed on the LCD screen. Update 1: This project is based on a 1993 car. Therefore most of the modern diagnostic features will be absent. Also its cluster is not working so essentially we will be restoring some function to the car. Therefore the project will be targeted to mainly pre-1996 cars (before the mandated OBD standard). It will give users with these cars a chance to experience the functionality of the newer cars.

2014 B.H.A.D. Teleios Code Jam – Synopsis Submission Team: B.H.A.D Team Members: Steffan Boodhoo Akash Manohar Jherez Taylor Jevon Alexis Anthony Hosang Problem Description The rising crime rate in crime in many communities can sometimes results in its members keeping to themselves. This presents itself as an issue as it results in information on criminal activity not being relayed in an effective manner or that information staying within a certain circles. It would be useful to allow users to get a view of the type of activity that takes place within their neighbourhood so that they can have better situational awareness. Additionally, with persons becoming more and more enclosed in their homes because of crime, there is no longer much community life, making the perpetration of crimes easier. Although there are many initiatives in place by governments and NGO’s to increase community life and foster an attitude of responsibility and support for those around you, they have either been short term or not very effective. Solution We can address this by creating a location based notification system, a way for people in the area to be notified of what’s happening to you. Using this system, one person can almost immediately update the entire community of issues and events in the community. The main features of the app includes creating a notification which broadcasts to everyone within a radius of a specified location(current or otherwise) and creating a listener for a particular location i.e. where you would like to receive updates from. The application would provide a means to update everyone who is subscribed to a community's’ updates with information about suspicious activities, emergency situations as well as general notifications such as a community meeting or a fund raiser. In this way, people can be part of an active part of an e-community from anywhere. A crucial part of the system is the Pi, as it presents itself as an alternative to home security, acting as a sensor to detect undesired occurrences in the home such as forced entry. When such an occurrence is detected, alerts can be sent, not only to you but to everyone in your neighbourhood, the Pi therefore acts as a system that, with the help of the community protects your home. Technologies Description Java programming for an Android client, which registers for push notifications from GCM (Google Cloud Messaging) and stores all data about alerts, users and devices through the use of Cloud Endpoints on GAE (Google App Engine). Using Google Polymer , a new set of web components, a web based client will be deployed that will allow the user to log in and view trends and analysis on the activity that takes place. This analysis will be presented visually through the use of map and chart APIs. Google App Engine will act as both the cloud server and the web host provider.
2014 The Village We at the "The Village" wanted to aim our project at energy conservation, so we decided to try and help the common household. Everyone uses a current supply in their household, but how do we measure how much current we have used? Check the meter outside? Wait for our monthly bill? This is very inconvenient and most people don't even understand the readings on the meter. That's why we decided to try to create an application that takes the reading from your meter and displays to you how much power you are actually using on your raspberry pi. This application will measure how much current you have used for the month so far and will compare it to the current used by the average household at that point to alert you if you are using to much current, thus helping the user be aware of whether or not they are wasting too much current. How can we make users feel like they need this application to help with energy conservation? We will also adjust the app to show the cost of current used at that point in the month (using the last known cost per watt given by the power company.) That way the user will feel the app is helping them to keep a good budget of their current consumption as they are using their household appliances, while they are also helping with energy conservation as they are cutting back on electricity costs. We will also try to adjust the app to keep logs of at least the past three months of current usage, and keep total track of electricity used since initially using the app. This cost tracking feature is more relatable to the common homeowner in knowing how much electricity they have used rather than plain watt values.

2014 Belabour As we move forward into the digital age we our aim is to move the modern home into the future. Our goal is to insert the Raspberry Pi into the standard household making it the brain that will bring life to each and every corner of the household. It is also our aim to make this solution as inexpensive as possible so it is accessible to everyone. The Raspberry Pi (the brain) will connect to the household breaker unit as well as an interconnected RF sensor system placed throughout the house. The brain will also be used tunnel internet access to the local WiFi network. Access to management of services can be obtained through the use of a browser based management panel via a dedicated IP address. Id tags will be use to identify individuals and monitor their movement as they go about their day to day lives. The brain collects information such as individual movement, individual activity and through the use of time stamps builds each individual's home itinerary. This can be used to control lighting or electrical devices. Access groups can be created so users can be given limited privileges. A children group can monitor actions within the household, set limits such as TV time, kitchen equipment or even internet access. The brain will ideally monitor all devices connected to the local network. We believe that we can create something truly special with the Raspberry Pi. Team Belabor is ready to create the future
