How to create a sustainable mixed transportation journey? Mastercard and Siemens launched a unique hackathon designed to answer this very question.
This co-hosted challenge at the MindSphere Future World Series at Expo 2020 Dubai inspired teams to create a range of easy-to-use IoT solutions that help commuters make smarter and more sustainable decisions – at the touch of a button.
For this co-hosted challenge, hackathon teams had access to HERE Technologies’ open platform and services, including Maps, Intermodal Routing, Isoline Routing, Public Transport, and Mobile SDKs. HERE harnesses the power of location to help people, businesses, and cities achieve better outcomes. From rewarding low-carbon commutes to encouraging sustainable multimodal mobility, from tools to actively manage personal environmental impact to one-stop access to all mobility options, here are the creative solutions that impressed the jurors of MindSphere and Mastercard most.
The solution:
The startup has developed an innovative platform that motivates users to be more environmentally conscious and reduce their carbon footprint through gamification. Through low-carbon commutes, users generate "Carbon Credits“, which can be exchanged for unique rewards and experiences. The startup integrated MindSphere API and Services to manage user data and analyze transportation journeys.
The benefits:
The solution:
MazMobi developed a MaaS solution for vehicle sharing mobility to recommend the greenest transportation option for its users. The startup integrated IoT data from their application, batteries, IoT devices, and more in MindSphere to create assets, dashboards, and a connection between all devices and gathered data.
The benefits:
The solution:
Ualabee has enabled two business solutions through MindSphere: a “white label trip planner” and a data analytics dashboard for sustainable analytics and urban planning to offset the CO2 impact of urban mobility.
The benefits:
The solution:
With their multimodal MaaS application, the startup enables sustainable planning of commutes. MindSphere was integrated to analyze and visualize different transportation data feeds while identifying the optimal journey based on CO2 impact.
The benefits:
The solution:
The startup has developed the carbon trading platform eco2xchange within an application that allows users to plan multimodel transportation journeys while calculating environmental impact. MindSphere was integrated into the solution for analyzing data to identify commute trends.
The benefits:
The ground-breaking MindSphere Smart City App and its IoT framework helped make Expo 2020 Dubai the most sustainable Expo in the history of World Expos. Their success in combining individual applications to address the specific needs and circumstances of an urban environment has created a blueprint for smart cities everywhere. This open, flexible, and synergetic approach to solving complex challenges inspired the MindSphere Future World Series.
Whether you get value from your data through our IoT apps and solutions or develop your own, learn how to use MindSphere step by step.
