SDGs and COVID-19

This challenge invites you to analyze the impact of COVID-19 on the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by looking at the current and ongoing change in the monitoring indicators of the UN SDGs using Earth observation/remote sensing and global Earth system model-derived analysis products.

SAFE DELIVERY

Summary

The project consists of a web page that avoids the client ordering food without leaving home to avoid contagion. The user will be able to consult available products and their respective price. Deliveries are ideally made with the Van-style vehicle prototype, driven by a person with protective and insulating equipment who will not, as far as possible, get out of the vehicle unless strictly necessary. The prototype design features side hatches that open tothe inner pistons to push the product out in a box of environmentally friendly materials.

How We Addressed This Challenge

The COVID -19 pandemic has negatively impacted people's routine activities causing great concern, especially in the supply of basic necessities such as food. This situation leaves a significant impact on the progress of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SDG2, Zero Hunger, seeks to end all forms of hunger and malnutrition by 2030. One of the goals on which we base ourselves is goal 2.4. Adopt measures to guarantee the proper functioning of the markets for food products and their derivatives and facilitate timely access to market information, including food stocks, to help limit extreme volatility in food prices. As a solution to this problem, we decided to develop a web page with a friendly interface and a delivery system that allow the user to carry products without leaving home and avoid the risk of contamination. In order to have a good service practice, we decided to make an alliance in which a group disinfects the products inside the supermarket or warehouse and we send it to the client with all possible precaution.

How We Developed This Project

Describe how you developed your project

After holding discussions and debating the problems of the current situation, it was agreed to develop an idea based on SDG2 Zero Hunger.

The project is carried out in two phases:

  1. Web page: This consists of developing a Web page with a friendly interface in which the user interacts from home. Orders food products whose product has gone through a decontamination procedure, mitigating risks of COVID-19 contagion. The website will have a register for new customers that will be linked to a database. On the other hand, The user will be able to consult products that are available and their respective price. As for the administrator tools, the administrator will be able to create new products and add them to the inventory.
  2. Product Delivery: Products will ideally be delivered with the Van-style vehicle prototype. This will be driven by a person with the proper protection and isolation equipment who, as far as possible, will not get out of the vehicle if it is not strictly necessary. The prototype design features side hatches that will open, allowing the inner pistons to push the product out. The client must have a platform that allows him to be at the height of the gate so that the box is positioned. Additionally, the box where the product goes will be made of biodegradable material. The proposals for the co-pilot space are: put cleaning products, drones or even a solar panel on the roof to supply batteries in the space.

What inspired your team to choose this challenge?

The need for an early solution to the current problem that has affected economic, social and environmental activity. We wanted to focus on the primary need like food. Therefore, we rely on SDG2 Zero Hunger to have access to people who have difficulties in supplying themselves.

How did you use the data from the space agency in your project?

More than an economic activity of food supply, the idea of ​​implementing biodegradable material and clean energy in the project was proposed. Based on a study of biodegradable packaging in the food of astronauts on the International Space Station - ISS to reduce waste and the use of solar panels in satellites and rockets from space missions. This part of the data helped us to have an overview of the importance of mitigating waste in any economic activity and reducing CO2 emissions causing positive impacts on the environment. The data was taken primarily from the website of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration - NASA. The data collected was implemented in the development of the food products delivery stage.


Project Demo

What problems and achievements did your team have?

The group's problems have been the lack of time. However, this has not been an impediment. Although we are of different nationalities, we have always presented assertive communication and teamwork. We have been aware of the progress and support for each member of the group.

>> Show your solution

We are based on developing a safe system for the distribution of food and products without the client having the need to leave home, avoiding getting infected by COVID - 19. The project consists of a web page that contains a user-friendly interface that will allow you to place orders. food with low risk of infection. The website will have a register for new clients that will be linked to a database. The user can see what products are available at the time and their respective price. As for the administrator tools, he will be able to create new products and add them to the inventory. Which will be ideally delivered with the prototype Van-style vehicle. This will be driven by a person with the proper protection and isolation equipment who, as far as possible, will not get out of the vehicle if it is not strictly necessary. The prototype design features side hatches that will open allowing the inner pistons to push the product out. The customer must have a scaffold that allows him to be at the height of the gate so that the box is positioned additionally the box must be friendly to the environment. The proposals for the co-pilot space are: put cleaning products, drones or even a solar panel on the roof to supply batteries in the space
