Light the Path

The COVID-19 pandemic initiated changes in human population movements and activities around the world. Your challenge is to use Earth observations to explore how human activity and regional land-based human movement patterns may have shifted in response to COVID-19.

SAFEWAY

Summary

Our proposal aims to guarantee the quality of food using the standards of Regulatory Standard 9 (Qualitative and Quantitative Environmental Risk Prevention Program), requiring that Occupational Hygiene be clearly and evident in the company/freelancer through a documentation prepared by a qualified Hygienistin. Our goal is to assure that the final consumer will receive the order in safe conditions. By that, we will create business leverage during the pandemic, while creating standards appropriate to the new post-pandemic world. Thus, our platform in addition to creating quality standards that adapt to the most diverse production niches, will bring greater SAFETY and CONFIDENCE to the consumer

How We Addressed This Challenge
  •   Knowing that the main objective of our challenge is precisely to build a project that meets the new needs of the population in the context of the pandemic, focusing on the human movement and its activities, we carried out an assessment of the habits we had before and the habits we developed during this period. pandemic period.
  •  In this analysis, we understand a determining factor in changing people's habits and new behavior; the security. In order to understand more broadly the changes that occurred in this pandemic period, we looked at data provided by NASA satellites, human activity today. 
  • What we observed was the considerable reduction in the emission of polluting gases emitted, mainly, by vehicles, such as SO2 and NO2, which indicates a great reduction in human traffic on the streets, demonstrating a greater permanence inside their homes and, therefore, greater use of delivery services. In this sense, the search to make this activity feasible in a pandemic context, in order to adapt them to the proper hygiene standards and at the same time reassure the consumer when contracting the service, goes directly to SAFE WAY's proposal.
How We Developed This Project

The development was through video conference with the team, comparing with analysis made with random people that we submitted to some questions, also based on data obtained from NASA and other sources, including discussions of the habits we had before the pandemic and those we currently have, so that we can then identify what would be one of the problems caused by the COVID pandemic 19.

Thus, we identified a feeling that predominated in the population, fear. In this sense, the only effective barrier found to combat the virus was total seclusion, therefore, we noticed an exponential increase in delivery services, and consequently a greater fear due to the lack of origin of such products or services offered. It was there that we realized the need to ensure safety and hygiene, both for the worker and the final consumer, in order to promote the adequacy of this business model for the current moment, creating future standards. NASA, through open data, provided us with image subsidies that allowed us to observe changes in human behavior in response to the evolution of restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

For example, we cite the images collected by NASA, through the Ozone Monitoring Instrument on board the Aura satellite, showing such variation in the emission of an air pollutant, nitrogen dioxide (NO 2). In the same sense, we used data provided by NASA satellites in North American regions that presented data that, in a comparison of March and April 2020 in relation to the same period of previous years, the city of Los Angeles had a reduction of 31% in With regard to the emission of nitrogen dioxide, San Francisco had a reduction of 16%, Phoenix a reduction of 16% and Las Vegas a reduction of 10%. 

To develop our platform we use development languages ​​such as HTML, JAVA SCRIPT and CSS. The Libs were the React and styled components. The platform was NODE JS and we used the non-relational database - NoQL. During the execution of the project, we observed at various times the need for a profound adaptation of our idea to a functional reality, that is, a concentration of efforts aiming at greater applicability and plausibility than we will put into practice.
