MyCity
As part of GovHack 2015, we came up with multiple ideas and narrowed them down to solve the below three challenges:
1) We often loose data connection when we go for boating - how can we improve navigation experience for boating?
2) How can we improve transportation using Live Traffic cam data?
3) Visualise ICT Data
For the first challenge, we came up with a mobile application to visualise Queensland (Gold Coast) Meteorology data. When a user accesses the app, their GPS location is retrieved on the map. Meterology maps which will help users in their boating navigation are used to visualise their presence on the map using a marker.
In the second challenge, we have used Queensland Road transport data to visualise the live cam feed in an application. The application provides user with a quick view for live traffic data from motorways. We envision to scale this application in future to identify the driver using the traffic cams to push live traffic notifications.
For the third challenge, we re-used the above map engine to visualise ICT data. ICT people can visualise their presence this maps, ICT providers, ICT employers and ICT Projects data. We hope these maps will inspire the young ICT professionals to scale their presence across Queensland and so in Australia.
