This document outlines an AT&T hackathon focused on developing innovative applications using Internet of Things technologies in areas like smart cities, public safety, and sustainability. It provides an overview of the event schedule, guidelines for participation, and scenarios for application ideas in each of the three focus areas. The document encourages participants to form teams and share ideas for new applications that could save money, improve decision-making and data use, enhance safety, or otherwise benefit government organizations and citizens. Representatives from AT&T, IBM, Intel, and other sponsors are available during the event to provide technical workshops and resources to support application development.

Your app needs to work.
You can present static screen concepts, but they will not be judged for
prizes. Winning apps that function as described will be selected at the sole
discretion of our judges and weighted heavily based on the following 3
criteria:
• Ability to clearly articulate what your app does
• Originality of the idea/concept
• Technically creative and/or challenging implementation
1. Judging Criteria

Smart Cities mean the evolution of municipality decision making from reactionary, based
on historic data, to proactive based on real-time data. Transform data collected from into
actionable information enabling intelligent decisions to improve cities within one or
more of the following areas:

23. Pesticide Work
Safety Violations
Mobile Application

24. Overview
Worker Protection Standard (WPS)
“The regulation seeks to protect and reduce the risks of
injury or illness resulting from agricultural workers’ (those
who perform hand-labor tasks in pesticide-treated crops,
such as harvesting, thinning, pruning) and pesticide
handlers’ (those who mix, load and apply pesticides) use
and contact with pesticides on farms, forests, nurseries
and greenhouses.”

https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2015/11/02/2015-
25970/pesticides-agricultural-worker-protection-standard-
revisions

25. Overview
◦ The Worker Protection
Standard is triggered when
pesticides which are
registered with EPA for
agricultural use are used.
◦ Someone submitting a
complaint could be concerned
with requirements ranging
from direct exposure to
pesticides to a lack of posted
safety information.
25
Source: Lion Technology

26. Application Goals
◦ Ability for a farm worker to easily report a possible pesticide worker
safety violation to their local State Environmental Protection
Agency using a mobile app. The State EPA should be able to update
where they wish to receive the report.
◦ Designed in such a way where non native English speakers can
easily use the application.
◦ Ability for farm workers to receive updates on the status of their
submission.
◦ Ability for the receiving State EPA to view and respond to
submissions.
26
How is this project unique?
Develop ways for illiterate and non-native English speakers to submit potential violation
information to the appropriate individuals.

27. FitBit for your
Car

28. Overview
o Get the best gas mileage
from your car or truck
and become a
“Hypermiller” while
helping the environment!
o What you drive, how you
drive, and what fuel you
use can impact both the
environment and your
pocketbook.

29. Overview
EPA Green Vehicle Guide GHG scoring
◦ This rating reflects vehicle tailpipe emissions of carbon
dioxide (CO2), the most prevalent greenhouse gas
(GHG). CO2 emissions typically constitute 99% of the
tailpipe emissions of greenhouse gases.
29

30. Application Goals
◦ This mobile app will use EPA’s Green Vehicle Guide GHG scoring to
match vehicles and truly pit the skills of the eco-drivers against each
other.
◦ The result is using our competitive nature to influence driving
behavior and, perhaps, even convince someone to upgrade to the next
“mpg competition class.”
◦ Allow users to share the most efficient route and encourage them to
use various tips and techniques to reduced gas usage.
Additional task:
Use information from the car’s OBD-II On-Board Diagnostic System to
determine the actual fuel efficiency along a route over time
30
How is this project unique?
Experiment with building a OBD mobile app.

31. Augmented Reality
Facility Data
Mobile Application

32. Overview
o View information that EPA has on facilities by pointing
a smartphone camera directly at the facility
o Information can include chemicals reported to the EPA
and air emissions from power plants
32
Source: Transmedia Newswire

33. Application Goals
◦ This mobile app will use Facility Registry Service (FRS) and
Emissions & Generation Resource Integrated Database (eGRID) data
to obtain information on what facilities are nearby and information that
EPA has about those facilities.
◦ Potential users include first responders, inspectors,
interested/concerned citizens etc.
33
How is this project unique?
Use of augmented reality to display information from EPA’s APIs
