The PUDX Datathon is being organized jointly by Indian Institute of Science , IISc-Robert Bosch Centre for Cyber Physical Systems (RBCCPS) and IISc-Cisco Centre for Networked Intelligence (CNI), Pune Smart City Development Corporation (PSCDCL) with support from Smart Cities Mission, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA).
The goal of the Datathon is to develop innovative solutions based on India Urban Data Exchange (IUDX), an open source data exchange platform aimed at enabling cities to harness full potential of the enormous data being generated in our smart cities. In particular, the Datathon will be based on PUDX (Pune Urban Data Exchange) which is an instance of IUDX for Pune Smart City. The IUDX envisages the following stake holders for collaboration – Academia, Startups, Government departments, Industry, City administration and Citizen.
* Prizes will be given for two categories: Data Analytics Solution and Proof of Concept Application, for each of the three use cases below.
Total Prize Money: 3L INR
The PUDX Datathon will be based on the following use cases:
Traffic problem is one of the most frustrating experiences in India’s bustling cities. Mitigating this will require a multi-disciplinary and collaborative approach involving active participation from all stakeholders in the city. Real-time data will go a long way in enabling smart solutions to address these issues. Such data can come from a diverse set of public and private sources – from field sensors, crowd sourced data, traffic cameras, fleet operators, transport companies, logistics, map service providers etc. IUDX will enable all these players to safely and securely share their data, either for free or on commercial terms. Public transport needs to be made more efficient on the lines of private ridesharing companies. This will not only reduce congestion, improve occupancy & revenues, but also provide public convenience in city transport.
Predict the Expected Time of Arrival (ETA) of a PMPML Bus at given bus stops for a given trip.
For the Datathon, the following data from Pune City will be made available via PUDX
Limited trial data is already available via PUDX. Full data will be available from Nov 15, 2019.
Evaluation: Solution will be evaluated against a test dataset.
Embed the algorithm from part 1 into an app, which will be easy to use. The app can be Smartphone app or Web app.
Evaluation: App will be judged for ease of use, adaptability to new data.
Detailed problem statement can be downloaded here.
Imagine having a live Pollution score, customized for every Citizen, that gets updated periodically throughout the day, reflecting the quality of air inhaled by the citizen. Such information can be used to monitor an individual’s exposure to pollution and correlate with their health. Many cities have deployed a diverse set of pollution monitors: High end pollution sensors deployed by central and state pollution boards, medium end pollution sensors deployed by smart city and low–cost citizen deployed sensors. Calculating the pollution load, customized for a specific individual, will require combining static and dynamic data from a diverse set of sources in a way that best estimates their pollution exposure.
Estimate PM2.5 concentration at specific locations and times.

Flooding has been a serious problem in Pune this year. Can we help the city authorities to better visualize this data so that they can understand it, draw insights and take steps to plan better for coming years?
Develop an app to visualize flood sensor data analysis.

The winners will be presented with Cash award and Opportunity to work with mentors for further commercialization. In addition, winners will be eligible for consideration for a workorder/grant from PSCDCL for a pilot project.
MoHUA has announced initiation of a research project with Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore titled India Urban Data Exchange (IUDX), an open source software platform aimed at enabling cities to harness full potential of the enormous data being generated in our smart cities.
Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, is working with a broad set of institutions consisting of industry, government agencies, start-ups, entrepreneurs, other academia and research organizations, to develop the first specifications and reference implementation of IUDX.
Pune Smart City Development Corporation Limited (PSCDCL) was formed on 23rd March 2016 as a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) under Smart City Mission for implementation of Smart City Projects in Pune.
Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Government of India, is the apex body for formulation and administration of the rules and regulations and laws relating to the housing and urban development in India.
