DSSG-NYC & Family for Safe Streets (FSS) are co-hosting the very first "Stop-Super-Speeders Hackathon" to promote NYC transportation Safety.
Note: All Donation & Proceeds go to Family for Safe Streets. Coffee Snacks & Lunch Included.
WHY Transportation Safety?
Every day, 120 people are killed on US roadways, & over 14,000 suffer life-altering injuries. Every crash destroys families, & tears at the fabric of our communities. Crashes are preventable. These are not "accidents - & the problems that cause them have proven solutions. No death or life-altering injury in a traffic crash is acceptable.
Family for Safe Streets (FSS) confronts the preventable epidemic of traffic violence by advocating for life-saving changes & providing support to those who have been impacted by crashes. FSS uses a data-driven approach focused on upstream policy solutions proven to have the greatest impact. As a result, anti-speeding technology has helped cities across the US & countries abroad reduce roadway deaths & serious injuries.
Data Science for Social Good NYC is helping to recruit volunteers & civic hackers to participate in this hackathon!
Hacking Deliverables:
Understand ISA Devices & how it's deployed for Super Speeders.
The Hackathon consists of creating a proof of concept (PoC) for an eventually bigger system of data management for the installation of Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) devices for individuals / vehicles that incur in speeding violations. This PoC will be used to demonstrate the viability of the policy implementation.
The complete system should eventually account for several stakeholders in different stages of the data management & alert system as shown in the following flowchart:
Data Management Design:
Design ETL & pipeline
Data structure (is it general enough in case the courts have missing variables?)
Consider Privacy
Data input/upload system for stake-holders (e.g. courts, DMV, etc)
Alert management (e.g. which alerts have been sent, a way to mark follow-ups)
Dashboard & alert system for DMV:
Design DMV dashboard - with success metrics, alerts
indicates speeders warning system
ability to alert to send to people who cross the 10 threshold
How to register for Hackathon:
1) Go ahead & register here on Eventbrite.
2) Register as a volunteer on the DSSG Google Form.
