Team Smart Luggage – Blockchained Mobility Hackathon

Team Smart Luggage – Blockchained Mobility Hackathon

We make your luggage travel on its own.

Q: What problem does your project solve?

A: We free travellers from the burden of caring for their luggage. Therefore the luggage will autonomously determine the optimal route and transport mode while always taking the owner’s schedules and directions into account.

Q: What expertise and roles do your team members have?

A: We had little hands-on experience with IOTA. Our roles were Designer, Backend Developer, Tinkerer.

Q: Which technologies do you use for which purposes?

A: We decided on Node-RED on Raspberry Pi for prototyping of the “smart Infrastructure” part and chose IOTA as backend network for secure communication and payment.

Q: How do you plan to proceed with your project?

A: We have no concrete plans for proceeding yet.

KYC on the IOTA tangle.

Q: What problem does your project solve?

A: Expensive & time intensive KYC processes.

Q: What expertise and roles do your team members have?

A:Backend-Developer, Frontend-Developer, App-Developer, Consultant

Q: Which technologies do you use for which purposes?

A: MAM for claims streams, Android for an example App, Bluetooth for communication between Raspberrry Pi and Smartphone, IOTA as persistence layer, Raspberrry Pi as a car’s board computer.

Q: How do you plan to proceed with your project?

A: Finishing it, open specifications.

Team “Pac-Man on Wheels” – Third place in the Blockchained Mobility Hackathon

Team “Pac-Man on Wheels” – Third place in the Blockchained Mobility Hackathon

Pac-Man on Wheels, the winners of third place (for USD 1 000 + 15 000 XSC tokens)

Democratize autonomous driving by crowdsourcing and gamifying the data collection via IOTA Tokens

Q: What problem does your project solve?

A: In order to empower autonomous driving hundreds of thousands hours of sensor data are required. Individual data acquisition without merging possibility is never able to gain the appropiate amount of data needed to secure all driving scenarios. This can only be achieved by crowdsourcing the data by incentivizing road users with IOTA Tokens. A decentralized market place ensures the complete data availability.

Q: What expertise and roles did you have on your team?

A: Michael Karl: Business Development, Distributed Ledger Evangelist, IoT, Autonomous Driving & Sensorfusion Expert

  • Dr. Simon Hassannia: Head of Business Innovation and Automotive Industry Expert
  • Martin Mihaylov: Computer Vision & AI Engineer, Entrepreneur, Designer, All things tech enthusiast
  • David Hawig: Iota, Ipfs and Ntru C# Developer

    • Martin Mihaylov: Computer Vision & AI Engineer, Entrepreneur, Designer, All things tech enthusiast
    • David Hawig: Iota, Ipfs and Ntru C# Developer

    Q: Which technologies and tools did you use in your project?

    A: NTRU for encryption, IPFS for decentralized file storage, IOTA for immutable decentralized data exchange and monetization, Xamarin for multi-platform application development

    After we finished the Blockchained Mobility Hackathon with the 3rd place our team quickly set up communication channels to stay connected. Although our team has just found itself on the Hackathon we have a very strong attitude our project will successful be enhanced and implemented now. Because of the perfect mix between software and business developers and the seamless collaboration inside the team we have a strong starting point now. By attending at the DAHO.AM conference right after the Hackathon we received positive feedback from several attendees and company representative to have found a well-fitted business case here. The strong interest in “Pac-Man on Wheels” strengthened us once more to proceed with the project. We already spoke to interested companies and investors at the DAHO.AM and figured out some approaches how to get going. We are still in negotiations if the project will be kicked off as a start-up or, which is actually more likely, integrated into a project of an existing company. Since nothing is settled yet, we appreciate and want to encourage any interested party to get in touch with us to discuss common realization possibilities.

    The winning team received USD 5 000 + 50 000 XSC tokens and the opportunity to pitch their project to the IOTA Ecosystem Fund for 50.000 USD.

    “In our vision we created the first Open Mobility Marketplace for IOTA – by enabling mobility provider companies (B2B) to publish mobility services offers (B2C), customers to search for them and conclude contracts in an easie way.”

    Q: What problem does your project solve?

    A: The API reduces hurdles to assimilate IOTA in existing architecture and facilitates mirroring of services and physical offer’s digital twins into an IOTA-based open marketplace.
