Intel successfully concludes IoT Roadshow in Bengaluru

Intel Software has concluded its two-day Internet of Things (IoT) roadshow in Bengaluru. 153 makers and pro-makers came together at this 24-hour hackathon to build IoT-enabled solutions. 45 IoT solutions were created using the Intel IoT Developer kits which include an Intel Edison board which is an Arduino-compatible development board featuring Intel architecture.

The winner, DriveAlert, created a smart IoT-enabled solution to prevent mishaps due to drowsy driving/ flying and enhancing driver efficiency using their driving data. The solution will not only help detect drowsy driving but also improve driver’s efficiency by using the captured data. The device will capture behaviour patterns of the driver and his interaction with the components of the vehicle.
