ABOUT THE COMPETITION

Urbanization, globalization, climate change, demographic change are all public pressures on people's quality of life, safety and security. This has put many city authorities in a challenging position to tackle problems, relating to these topics. To address this, we have developed a series of hackathons spread over three months, to challenge our partners and developers to seek new ways to connect, get better insights to foster a better environment and develop a smarter and safer cities.

This event is brought to you by the NSW Government Smart Places Strategy, Oracle Corporation, Slack and Oracle Partner Network. Below are some examples to kickstart your ideation process!

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR WINNERS!

Winner : Team Torus

The Torus Protocol proposes an optionally privacy-preserving, turing-complete, scalable blockchain based on directed acyclic graphs that works in tandem with a portable hardware wallet in the form of a ring that requires biometric identifications via fingerprint to access its functionalities.

Finalist : Team Parkwhere

This app displays carparks on the map with indicators of available lots and price, making finding a carpark space easier for its users.

It uses data and optimizes the parking space available for the users and saves time.

Finalist : Team GTPLUS&WYHIL

The solution uses data from air-quality sensor

(AirFeel) and uses the data to analyse the air quality for disease prevention. When data shows levels that exceed the threshold, the system could send an alarm to the user or operate an automatic ventilation system.

CHALLENGE CATEGORIES

50 teams will instantly score a data science and career building prize back worth over $250!

Once you have selected a event to join, you should select at least one of the challenge categories and problem statements to compete in per hackathon. Hover over each tile below to see a list of their potential problem statements.

When submitting your solution at the end of the respective hackathon, your team will need to incorporate or make a reference to least one prescribed dataset released by our Lead Sponsor. These datasets will be released during the opening ceremony.

SMART ADMINISTRATION

Citizens’ are increasingly expecting higher quality services and responses to their needs; be it smarter governance, intelligence mobility or an overall safer city to live. The Smart Administration challenge category can cover solutions that help cities manage public administration issues.

Example Problem Statements

How do we deal with food safety concerns, particularly with concerns about perishability and the country of origin? How do we improve the safety of autonomous cars & taxis? How do we ensure that transportations & logistics deliver faster and more reliably to citizens?

SAFE CITIES

Safe Cities require an understanding of the need for security to evolve from a reactive to a proactive approach, with integrated response. The Safe Cities challenge category can cover solutions that help cities to manage public security issues as a city population & urbanisation grows.

Example Problem Statements

How do we ensure that the environment we live in is safe? How do cities respond to criminal behaviour, natural disasters, terrorism & other phenomena? Can we build an environment or city intelligence tracking tool?

SMART TRANSPORTATION

A Functioning transportation and logistics system, with the right accompanying infrastructure, is the backbone of a strong economy. The Smart Transportation challenge category can cover solutions that help mega cities manage their public and private sector mobility more effectively.

Example Problem Statements

How do we deal with food safety concerns, particularly with concerns about perishability and the country of origin? How do we improve the safety of autonomous cars and taxis? How do we ensure that transportation and logistics deliver faster and more reliably to citizens?
