The Challenge | Let's go to the Beach!

Build a tool for beach-goers to monitor for hazards and to alert them of precautionary measures for protection on their swim- and surf-filled adventures!

NO UV

lambda is aimed to develop a user frinedly warnning system for high radiation levels on public beaches

High UV radiation level worldwide is an evident issue. Our team chose to develop a solution to collect real-time UVI or Ultra Violet Index measurements, specifically on public beaches. Seattleite UVI information includes many inapplicable factors to beach environment, such as stratospheric ozone concentration. We proposed an on site sensory system UV data collection plus available UV API's to generate a monitoring system that provides accurate UVI data to the public and increase awareness.

We have proposed a UV 3 sensor system taking real-time data at public beaches. Using NI Data acquisition hardware, we collect the data and process it to be used in application level in terms of Apps and Web access. Also, the sensory system is proposed to be packaged with digital signs on the beach site to notify beach visitor or UV levels and UVI and danger of exposure messages. Our team processed API data to prove the concept and communicated that with an APP. Due to shortage of time, no hardware could have been acquired.
