This is the first in a six-part series which will showcase the projects built by the Top 6 teams of the #SmartCities Hackathon. The Smart Cities hack was a two event hackathon organized by Hackmakers dedicated to finding innovative solutions to generate more awareness, stronger communications and quicker responses for tomorrow’s smart cities.
Team Carbon Neutral Danylo Liakhovetskyi, Harnoor Singh, Muhammad Asif, Illia Krantovskyi, Moses Enyinnaya, Pushkar Mungikar, Shaheer Khan | Team Carbon Neutral created an app called TRFFC, which addresses the third challenge of the #SmartCities Hackathon - Smart Transportation. TRFFC recommends the ‘greenest’ and the most time efficient commute route to its users. The team ranked #6 among all the participants in the hackathon. |
