SUMMARY:Highways England Hackathon I Milton Keynes
DESCRIPTION:The Connected Places Catapult has joined forces with Highways England to unlock the value of data on the UK’s Motorways in an intense 2-day hackathon. \nWe’ll provide a wealth of data from traffic flows\, accident information to the location of every piece of hardware on the network. Competitors will be asked to find ways to aid decision making & planning\, improve safety\, provide a better service to road users and find new ways to reduce disruption from maintenance. \nAt the end of the event a panel of judges\, including senior decision makers at Highways England will pick the best idea based on a pitch presentation from each team. They’ll be looking for: \nSolutions that combine different models and/or data to: \n\nImprove safety on the network (for instance predicting or reducing the likelihood of accidents)\nOptimise delivery of asset maintenance or major works\nProvide improved service to road users\n\nSolutions which find new and consistent ways of digitalising and tracking multiple HE assets to: \n\nProvide better insights to the leadership team\nHelp assess the impact of planned works or design changes\nDeliver efficiency savings across road operations (i.e maintenance schedules)\n\nYou can check out the information briefing to help you shape your solutions for the best chance to win! \nWho? \nTeams of up to 5 can participate. You are welcome to form teams beforehand or join up on the day! \nOur aim is to have a number of perspectives\, so SMEs\, Start-ups\, Academics\, Students and Hackathon Pros are all welcome. We’ll need coders\, data visualisers and data scientists\, innovators\, business strategists and planners to help us make the most of all the lovely data we have! \nWhat we’ll provide \n\nFood\, drink and entertainment throughout the event\nSpace to work throughout the 24hrs (including over-night!)\nAccess to mentors from Highways England and the Connected Places Catapult\nFree Wifi\nAccess to data\n\nWhat you’ll need \n\nYour own computer equipment\nPotentially a sleeping bag and overnight supplies!\n\nWhat we expect from you: \n\nAside from new ideas and fresh perspectives we expect you to respect the other participants:\nDo not use expressions that incite violence or forms of discrimination\, obscenity\, or defamation;\nAvoid content that is offensive\, vulgar\, defamatory\, or that violates privacy or is otherwise against applicable law\, as well as advertising content or content that concerns political or religious views or other such ideologies;\nAvoid developing applications that are clearly off topic compared to the assigned challenge;\nDo not violate copyrights\, trademarks\, or other such rights;\nObserve data-protection legislation.\n\nOther than that\, have fun and show us what you can do! \nRegister here.
