What is it ?
In Sensors & Coding Hackathon 2018, participants were tasked to program a state of the art web-based datalogger and use a telematic data collector gateway system. The Austrian Sick GmbH will provide all necessary devices, sensors, hardware, peripherals and tools to the students. Top of the industry instructors and mentors will assist them in this effort. After the 24-hour hack, each team is given only 5 minutes to pitch and bring its proposal to life in front of a mixed corporate and academic assessment jury. Prof. Nectarios Koziris, Dean of the School of ECE NTUA and Chair of IEEE Greece Section will head the jury.
Our team developed a dynamic traffic light system that served the purpose of reducing traffic, using a lidar sensor.
My role & work
I developed the signal processing code using Java. The tool that we had to used was NodeRed.
I was responsible for converting the Lidar signal to a representation that would allow us to count the number of cars on the road taking advantage of their shape.
I also helped in building this ‘device’ of ours which was essentially a controller and a lidar strapped onto a chair.
**We managed to get the 3rd place among all other university students. ☺️
