MoveHack 2018
Introduction to MoveHack 2018 Hackathon
NITI Aayog has launched a global mobility hackathon ‘MoveHack 2018’ on 1st August 2018 to crowdsource
solutions aimed at the future of mobility in India. The hackathon was launched to gather the global innovator-
entrepreneur-researcher community, to solve the mobility problems for India and the world.
Transportation and mobility are emerging as potential drivers of innovation and economic growth of the 21st
century. Rapidly evolving technologies and business models for delivering mobility services have dramatic
potential to transform the global transportation sector in the times to come.
Participating teams were required to submit their ideas/ solutions against ten identified problem statements
under two broad themes - Just Code It and Just Solve It. In the ‘Just Code It’ challenge, the participating teams
were required to present a working prototype of a code/working model. In the ‘Just Solve It’ challenge,
participants were required to propose a business solution that when implemented addresses the problems
stipulated in problem statement.

First Level Screening and Evaluation
NITI Aayog identified evaluators from across the industry, mobility sector and other subject matter experts, to
form the right panel for evaluating each of the submissions under the problem statements of both themes. A
comprehensive and thorough evaluation exercise was undertaken by 200+ evaluators using an online form
based on the evaluation framework created by PwC in consultation with NITI Aayog. The Evaluation framework
as agreed by NITI Aayog is placed at Annexure B of this report. Each evaluator was given a set of submissions to
evaluate based on his/her subject/domain expertise.
Following six criteria form part of the evaluation framework for ‘Just Code It’. The evaluators evaluated and
scored each submission assigned to them on a scale of zero to five (0-5)
2
:
1. Scalability
2. Viability
3. Patent/Intellectual Property
4. Contextual Relevance
5. Technological Feasibility
6. Innovation Quotient
Submissions under the ‘Just Solve It’ challenge were evaluated using the below mentioned five criteria.
Evaluators evaluated and scored each submission assigned to them on a scale of zero to five (0-5).
1. Scalability
2. Viability
3. Contextual Relevance
4. Technological Feasibility
5. Innovation Quotient
Upon receiving the scores from each evaluator on the submissions assigned to them, the scores for each
submission under each category/criteria were compiled.
In order to determine the weights which would be used to calculate the final score, Principal Component
Analysis (PCA) was used. The rationale behind using PCA - since the scores were evaluated under different
criteria, it was required to determine the weights for each criterion based on their importance.
Once the weighted scores were calculated, the average score was then calculated for each submission. The final
weighted scores were calculated, the entries were sorted in decreasing order to determine the Top 30 teams in
total from both challenges.
There were total of 10 different types of Problem Statements. Given that there were six problem statements in
JCI and four problem statements in JSI, on the basis of ratio JCI: JSI = 60:40, 60% and 40% of Top 30 under
each challenge i.e. JCI and JSI respectively were considered, which resulted in 18 submissions from JCI and
remaining 12 submissions from JSI challenge in the list of Top 30.

Problem Statements
Just Code It
Multimodal
Commuter Mobility
in Cities
Design and build a common platform for the commuters of Delhi or any other
large city in India which has multiple public transport modes for their entire
multi-modal journey. For various combination of modes, one can make her
choice based on the information available such as total cost, travel time and
level of comfort (anticipated). Further, this platform should also provide a
common ticketing system for entire door-to-door journey for selected
combination of modes including the informal / formal last mile options
(including private ride sharing options). The system should allow integrated and
interoperable payment mechanism for the commuter to pay just one time for the
entire journey.
Multi-modal Freight
handling and
Transportation
Design and build a common platform which helps in increasing the efficiency of
ports and freight train terminals for loading, unloading and transportation of
goods in order to increase handling capacity, reduce dwell time, increase
throughput and provide multi-modal transport options in an efficient manner.
Future of Mobility For the city of Delhi, develop a model/software for mapping out charging points
and battery swapping stations for Electric Vehicles (two-wheelers, three-
wheelers, 4-wheelers) depending on factors such as traffic, most used routes,
time taken, route-wise peak times and range anxiety, vehicle charging patterns,
malls, parking areas and conventional fuel stations. The model/solution should
also specify details on the type of hardware to be installed at the
charging/swapping stations, ways for inter-operable charging standards,
monetization business models, and the ability to quickly and inexpensively
replicate such a model for other major cities in India.
Road Safety Develop a model/solution to rate driving behavior and predict accident hotspots
(dynamic zones of errant driving behavior) using inputs such as impending
collisions, breaking behavior, geo-coordinates, driving speed and acceleration,
lane change behaviour, signs of fatigue etc. The solution should raise real-time
alarms for the drivers as well as external stakeholders such as traffic
enforcement authorities, medical emergency response teams.
Artificial
Intelligence for
Indian Transport
Infrastructure
Develop a machine learning algorithm to identify objects and anomalies on
Indian roads using India’s traffic images and assess the quality of road
infrastructure based on satellite imaging (e.g. potholes on roads, lane width,
pedestrian space, cycling lanes and tracks, road encroachments etc).
Drones and
Unmanned Aerial
Vehicles (UAVs) in
India
Develop a drone and UAV traffic management system to address detection of
drones and UAVs, unlawful trespassing by drones (informing the drone operator
and the traffic controller in real-time), collision avoidance and route monitoring.

taxis' in India using an innovative model that helps achieve a significant
reduction in the cost of urban logistics.
Technology for Pune
Smart City Mobility
Challenges
Pune is categorized as a Smart City by Government of India. With mobility being
identified as #1 challenge in Pune, other priority areas identified within the
transportation theme as reflected from citizen inputs are: improved and more
available public transport, reducing commute times, improvement in traffic
discipline, enhanced parking facilities, greater share of NMT (Non-motorized
transport) and pedestrian friendly roads. Design and develop ideas on how
technology can solve mobility related challenges to make Pune and other large
cities more mobile and livable.
