Name of the competition : ITSS x LTA Hackathon

About the competition : The "Making Our Roads Safer" challenge, jointly organised by the Intelligent Transportation Society of Singapore (ITSS) and Land Transport Authority (LTA), invites participants to explore and exploit this wealth of data and digital tools to address real-world problems and improve road safety. The challenge focuses on key outcomes such as enhancing safety, improving traffic sense-making and management, and increasing the efficiency of traffic planning and operations through AI. Solutions developed during this hackathon have the potential to create safer, more efficient road environments and make a meaningful impact for all road users.

Date of the competition : 17 April 2025

Achievement : Third prize 

Prize : $2000

REP Student/s : Bersamin Justin Timothy Carmona, Nurdiyanah Umairah binte Abdul Rani, Gan Qing Rong, Quek Jun Siong

Product/Proposal : Bye-Bike

Description :  The project, Bye-Bike, powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) IoT Greengrass is an edge AI solution utilising YOLO Computer Vision models to detect and deter encroaching cyclists from crossing over to the pedestrian lanes. There are 3 topics under the Challenge. The team decided to address Challenge 2 which was on Improving Safety and participants were to harness cutting-edge technologies and data-driven insights to create innovative solutions to make our roads safer for everyone. The proposed solution is in line with LTA Singapore‘s Walk Cycle Ride initiative to ban all personal mobility devices (PMD) from pedestrian paths that are adjacent to cycling lanes. Bye-Bike will deter cyclists and PMD owners from encroaching onto pedestrian lanes, making footpaths safer for all.
