Title: Quality Tracking System For Perishables on the go!
Team: Mr. Ikram Shah (ECE III Year), Ms. Aswini Shilpa (CSE III Year) and Mr. Sriharsha P (CSE III YEAR) (Mentor: Dr. Shriram K V, Asst. Prof, CSE)Idea:
It is a fact that natural and perishable goods such as fruits and vegetables are cultivated in one location and are transported to other locations for consumption. It is also well known that a single such vehicle does not transport the vegetables and such goods from the source city to the destination city in one go; there are multiple intermediate transfers of the perishable goods between smaller vehicles to reach the interior regions of the country. During this transportation process, the order in which the products are stacked in the vehicle from the source is completely changed by the time the product reaches the destination (Last In First Out). Usually, the perishables placed first in the vehicle is the last to be removed as they are stacked one above the other. Due to this, by the time the vegetables or fruits placed at the bottom of the stack are delivered, they could become spoiled or unusable. Also, there are some vegetables that could withstand the weight of the stack and remain fresher for a considerably longer duration within the vehicle during transportation.Our innovative solution is aimed at identifying the basket of perishables that is most likely to get spoiled and to deliver them in the order of freshness. Therefore, this enables delivery of the perishable goods within the appropriate time without letting them get spoiled and thus wasted.We used IoT, Data Analytics, and Microcontrollers to achieve the task.

SmartIndia Hackathon 2019 – Team Active High

A group of six enthusiastic students from second year Computer Science at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham was shortlisted for the finals of SmartIndia Hackathon 2019 at Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh on March 1 – 2, 2019. They created a platform in 36 hours for solving one of the problems of the company Future Generali to have a platform for attracting insurance agents to join them. The web platform our students created was very attractive with features for grabbing the attention of possible insurance agents, get their attention through interactive chat bots, forums and slowly leading them to a mobile app.

The app gives them personalized experience in terms of private video calls with company representatives as well as with customers, voice based assistance services, rewards and recognitions and strategies to attract new customer through social media. Overall the student team had a great learning experience learning how to think from technology stack perspective and thinking from business perspective. The team was accompanied by Dr. Ganesh Neelakanta Iyer , Associate Professor at Amrita Vishwa Vidaypeetham as a mentor.

2. SmartIndia Hackathon 2019 – Team PRERANA

Vinyāsa – The App (”nyāsa” means “to place” and “vi” means “in a spec”): An Intelligent fusion of available signals from WIFI routers, BLE beacons, IMU sensors, GPS, Pressure sensors is employed to provide the seamless indoor-outdoor positioning. The challenge of seamless indoor-outdoor positioning lies in detecting the environment of the user.

To detect the environment of the user, the signals from BLE beacons and Wi-Fi RSSI are used. After detection of environment, the user will be positioned appropriately. If the user is in an indoor environment, information from available IMU sensors and Wi-Fi Routers are fused to position the user appropriately. Outdoor positioning is designed using GNSS/GPS. The system also has an Administrator module to configure the map of various buildings along with the position of Wi-Fi Routers. This information is stored onto a server and retrieved when the user enters a building. For faster retrieval of map caching and eager loading are used. Most importantly the privacy of the user is protected and makes use of available sensors only in and efficient manner.

3. SmartIndia Hackathon 2019 – Team Backspace

Problem Statement: Developing a feasible solution to help farmers from lightning attacks

Proposed Solution: To build an android application that is capable of alerting the farmers three hours in advance to the occurrence of lightning. The alert is sent both through a normal android alarm notification, as well as an SMS service that is triggered along with the result of the prediction.

Word Done: The prediction of lightning is done using a mathematical thresholding of forecast parameters obtained for the given location. Both the forecast data and SMS communication has been done using third-party APIs.

Furthermore, the solution included collecting the location details and the phone number of the farmer in the first run of the app, after which the local app serves effectively as a weather-forecast application, while the Firebase Backend is responsible for making calls to the API service and trigger the notifications if necessary. This removes the necessity of the app running periodically in the user’s phone.

Technology Stack:

Android Programming in Android Studio.
Server-Side storage – Firebase.

Abstract

Recommender Systems are a subclass of information filtering systems that seek to predict the preferences of a user or the preference that a user would give to an item. The most common problem faced by these systems is the lack of data. Such a situation leads to a matrix that is extremely sparse thus reducing the accuracy of prediction. Cold-start problem is one such problem that is faced by the recommender systems when a new user or a new item enters the system. We are hoping to reduce the cold-user and the cold-item problem by reducing the sparsityof the sparse matrix with the help of Iterative Local Least Squares algorithm and a hybrid of Heat Spreading algorithm and Probability Spreading algorithm.
