You are the future!!

Every problem statement consists of two parts: Strategy presentation and a prototype demo. For the strategy
presentation, you are required to come up with a design philosophy for the entire solution to the problem statement,
and present the solution in the form of a ppt.
For the prototype demo, as the name indicates, you will be required to implement a small part of your proposed
solution in a technology of your choice. The solution is to be presented as a live demo.

17. After the second round, top 10 teams will be qualified to the third round.
18. Kindly refer slide 5 for rules corresponding to third round.
19. Winner and Runner-up(s) will be declared by the judges from Micron.
20. Each student must choose ‘I agree’ button for rules mentioned above before participating in the event.
Rules for Round Two - The Strategy Presentation
1. The strategy presentation calls for a solution to a high level problem statement, in terms of overall system
design.
1. Present your overall system design in the form of a block diagram/s or architecture diagram/s. Each block
can be drilled down to minute specifics.
2. You should primarily focus on the analytics part of the system design.
3. Keep hardware specifics to the bare minimum (limit to sensors and analog to digital convertors).
4. Present a detailed overview of the statistics of each measurement being considered, as well as the
associated algorithms being used for the analytics.
5. Submission format is a powerpoint presentation (*.ppt or *.pdf), 10-15 slides.
6. The submitted solutions will be evaluated on the following parameters:
• Innovation
• Logic
• Feasibility
• Presentation
• Timeliness
 Rules for Round Three - The Prototype Demo
1. For the demo part,
1. Implement a prototype of a part of your solution as a compiled and working code, giving out a specific
output. The specific part that you need to implement is detailed in the problem statement.
2. The nature of input being fed, as well as the desired output depends on the problem statement, and is
explained in each statement.
3. Note that the solution need not be a full fledged app, but workable solution or an implementation of the
analytics logic in a technology of your choice.
4. Also think of creating good visualizations for the output of your code.
5. The submitted solutions will be marked on
• Code performance
• Code scalability
• Code quality
• Depth of analysis
• Presentation/Walkthrough
• Timeliness
1. Code Submission format: Submit your code files (*.zip)
General Rules
1. Feel free to source your data from any open source platform.
2. For those parameters where data is not available, please use dummy data. However, the data used should be
relevant to the particular parameter.
3. Submitted codes should be checked thoroughly for errors and all use cases must be properly tested and
evaluated.
4. Codes should not be copied from any source or platform, plagiarism will not be tolerated. However, feel
free to use open source libraries.
 Theme: Sustainability
Problem statement 1 – The
Clean & Green taxi app
Strategy presentation: Develop a solution for a fuel efficient taxi
riding app. In addition to the obvious goal of making profits by taking
maximum customers, a key differentiator of your app should also be
to operate much more efficiently (in terms of fuel) than other
operators. Some key parameters for consideration are: identification
of peak routes and peak hours, optimal area-wise allocation of
vehicles, types of vehicles allocated for different routes/times,
monitoring of vehicle/driver condition, overall system design (hub
and spoke or decentralized or…) etc.
Demo: Develop an algorithm that will be a part of the overall
problem statement, which predicts the future vehicle condition, before
deployment to a route. The prediction should take into consideration
the present state of the vehicle (from sensors) as well as the history of
past states. Employ a statistics based approach to analyze the data and
assign a score to the present and future vehicle health.
Theme: Sustainability
Problem statement 2 – Effective waste management

• Strategy presentation : Develop a solution to automate most parts of a waste management cycle, right
from source till the recycling unit. Some variables that you might need to consider are: identification of
different types of waste (organic/plastic/recyclable etc), record of waste travel from point A to B,
segregation and recycling statistics. Think of all the data sources available to you, including mobile phones
in households to satellite imagery. The source can be household, commercial units or industries.
• Demo: Come up with a solution that assigns an overall performance score to a waste-segregation plants
and recycling unit. The more efficient the unit, the more the score. Note that you might also be interested
to keep a tab on the power consumption of the unit itself!
Theme: Sustainability
Problem statement 3 – Optimal Deployment of Electric Vehicles
& charging Stations

• Strategy presentation: Imagine you are an organization (or a govt) which wants to gradually introduce electric
vehicles on the road in some N number of years. Develop a blueprint which will help you decide what’s the percent
of vehicles on the road that you will want to replace with electric vehicles, and by how many years you want a 100%
replacement, if possible. You should consider parameters like the load on your power station due to EVs, subsequent
drop of power to commercial, industry and household establishments, which type of vehicles or sector (like trucks,
school vans, railways etc) will you target first and last, what measurements will you deploy on the EVs, optimal
deployment of charging infrastructure and targeted replacement of petrol bunks etc.
• Demo: From the overall design, design an algorithm which will tell you where to deploy charging stations in a city.
Some examples of inputs to your algorithm will be traffic on that route, connectivity of the route (inner city v/s
highway), presence of other charging stations nearby, installation of types of charging station (fast v/s battery
swapping v/s …) etc
Theme: Sustainability
Problem statement 4 – Water consumption and recycling management for smart
townships

• Strategy presentation: Imagine you are an organization (or a govt) which has been roped in to deploy an effective
water distribution and control system for a smart township. The end goal is to minimise water wastage, by enabling
effective consumption and recycling of water. Your application should be able to predict the water consumption
requirement based on present and past behaviours, as well as climatic conditions. Depending on the predictions,
you should throttle the water supply appropriately to the particular consumer. Note that, the consumer could be
households, industry units, commercial units and even agricultural units. Some parameters to consider would be the
climate cycle prevalent in the area, peaks and troughs of industrial and agricultural activity, present and predicted
levels in man made reservoirs etc
• Demo: Design an algorithm to predict what percent of available water will you distribute between a hotel chain and
an agricultural farm, at a given instance of time. You have to take into account the demand, the recycling power, the
returns on economy, present and predicted seasonal cycles etc.
