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.

Protect each second being outside home, even to the supermarket!

Summary

To stay home safely, you need supplies, which means you have to go out sometime and go shopping. Each second you stay out home, you jeopardize your life and family’s.That’s what we “My turn” team trying to make clear. We thought of making an application that each supermarket in a neighborhood can use to organize the number of people getting in and out so we can control the distance between people thus, the spread of the disease. the application consists of data sent from IOT devices held on the doors of any store crossed place.

How We Addressed This Challenge

Our app’s main idea is to organize the movement of people in stores, or any closed place people can meet in and specify the number of people meeting in different places ergo, which can be useful for future disease prediction spread prediction and response planning.

How We Developed This Project

first of all, we noticed that many people go store forcefully to get supplies for the quarantine which jeopradizes their lifes and increase the possibility of getting infected, so we asked a question: What if we can control the movement of people in the store and distance between them? ergo, we decided to make an app that each store in neighborhoods can use to tell people how many people in there and the right time to go so they don't have to meet much people that maybe be  infected. the app gets signal from an IOT device that is hung on the door of the market that send signal when any one gets in or out and calculate the number of people inside. The IOT device consists of 2 ultrasonic to detect people getting in or out the place and and an arduino to send the calculation to the app and recommend the right time for people to come. this solution rises the importance of IOT in our lives and in the future prediction of the spread of the disease.

Data & Resources

the app's data we decided to make depends on the number of people getting to the store so there is no need to any agencies' data.
