1 year ago Hi @ErinOCon , great to hear from you. Wish to share that our project has been coming along well and we should have arrived at a good conclusion on our project goals and milestones. We are delighted to have the opportunity to share our final grant report with the committee and get value feedback and pointers. We have studied the link shared and are good on almost all fronts at this juncture. On the same note, wish to share that the Filecoin technical documentation, community support and learning opportunities are wonderful and have enabled us to do better. Wish to thank you and everyone in the eco-system.
1. What is your project? (max 100 words)
Monitoring tools for road incident management and reducing traffic congestion powered by IPFS. Crowdsourcing information sharing for better and safer roads.
How it works:
Camera Management: Add/edit/delete cameras for snapshots of road incidents.
Object Detection using OSS computer vision.
Video analytics configuration using IPFS.
Live streaming with Object Detection, Video Analytics using IPFS.
Alarm storage using Ethereum. Save/delete alarm metadata and image to/from IPFS. Store the hash returned from IPFS to Ethereum test network. Provide links to alarms and blockchain transaction details.
Alarm Viewer: Add alarms with a single touch. Open the Alarm Settings menu from the home page. Add an alarm, delete an existing alarm.
Github Repository: https://github.com/aspiringsecurity/EthTransport
Website: https://sites.google.com/view/aspiring-road-safety/home and https://sites.google.com/view/latcglobal/home (LATC for Road Safety)

2. How will IPFS, Filecoin, or related technology be used for this project? (max 100 words)
IPFS is the key backbone of our project as all the incident data is saved at IPFS. We are using IPFS for storing a variety of incident data like incident snapshots, alarm metadata and object types at the time of incident. Please find the video at https://drive.google.com/drive/u/3/folders/130gWNRVsPS9O7tUs0iAx-bolx2wyYCDU (demo_screen capture.mov file). We are also storing Alarm metadata at IPFS. Also, Saving/deleting alarm metadata and image to/from IPFS. We are also storing the hash returned from IPFS to Ethereum test network. Further we are using IPFS for: Video analytics configuration; Camera Management: Add/edit/delete cameras with integration with video streaming, IPFS; Live streaming with Object Detection Video Analytics using video streaming solution, and IPFS for incident snapshots.
3. How will you improve your project with this grant? What steps will you take to meet this objective? (max 200 words)
We will be focusing on the following objectives with the Microgrant:
We plan to decentralize key components, bottlenecks in our existing IPFS solution.
We wish to implement web3.storage developer platform to use decentralized protocols for enabling better citizen mobilization for creating incident data along with its relevant metadata.
For the police officer or admin role, we wish to store the relevant information on an incident at IPFS and enable investigative case management solution for early-stage detection and prevention of incidents.
Learning with ZF Mobility (https://www.zf.com/site/zms/en/zms.html): We are extending and adapting our platform for connected vehicles in Europe for sustainability and efficiency. We are currently working on a dataset of 15000 trips, 45+ trucks and 175+ drivers and enabling them to achieve better fleet management. We wish to use FEVM for compiling smart contracts. FEVM enables us to use composable and stackable building blocks and primitives exposed through standardized interfaces, enabling the construction of interconnected solutions, thereby improving better outcomes. We wish to spend quality time on understanding how we can utilize the strengths of FEVM in our smart contracts.
Development of Auto Repair Invoice, Vehicle Maintenance Planner using an OSS spreadsheet solution with Filecoin storage: We wish to develop Post PC applications namely Auto Repair Invoice and Vehicle Maintenance Planner for enabling repair shops to actively participate in improving the road conditions by providing instant maintenance to vehicles with breakdown or damage. We will extend and adapt EtherCalc for a Post PC interface with persistent file storage of Filecoin for data analytics. We also wish to explore IPFS integration with key open-source computer vision librariers like PyTorch, Tensorflow and analytics tools like R, Scipy, Matplotlib, Octave and Power BI.
We also wish to extend our project for reducing congestion at car parking slots in collaboration with Samsung. Our team member, Vibhor Bijoy, has developed a prototype with which we will be integrating our solution this fall. We wish to use FEVM for compiling our smart contracts for developing a DAO tool.
Accessibility: Our team member, Vibhor, will enable us to develop solutions for citizens with disabilities and integrate them in Eth Transport application. He suffers from paralysis and wishes to contribute to improving the accessibility aspect of the solution. Some of his early efforts include developing a solution to prevent road rage by enabling drivers to detect and understand the traffic signals using road sign detection with OpenCV and Tensorflow, and a conversational interface.
4. Is this project open source?
Yes, the project is open source with license type: MIT License.
5. Do you agree to share grant reports upon request, including a final grant report at the end of the three month period?
Yes, definitely. We would share a final grant report at the end of 3 month period.
6. Does your proposal comply with our Community Code of Conduct?
Yes.
7. Links and submissions
We participated at the Moralis Filecoin 1,2,3 hackathon (https://moralis.io/filecoin-hackathon/) and won multiple prizes (please watch the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_2n0sEPuxc and visit the website at https://moralis.io/filecoin-hackathon/winners/ )
Hall of Fame URL: Please search for "Eth Transport" at https://airtable.com/shr2xqq48PEHWzSBu/tblCwc1GeUbvwVrmU
We won the filecoin prize for both our submissions: Eth Transport and Drone Monitor and received a sum of 1429 FIL. We learned about the Filecoin microgrant from the prize email as well as a memo from Niki Gokani, Eco System Growth at IPFS and Filecoin, who motivated us to scale up our project.
