3.0 Tracks

Here you can find a summary of the three proposed tracks of the BMH.

This link will guide you to the page where you can apply for a track. However, if you want to create a team, select the track as parent team as described in chapter 1.2 Create Team.

1. Smart Mobility Services Track

The world of yesterday was built on closed platforms. The open mobility ecosystem of tomorrow will be based on protocols enabling competition and collaboration across a unified mobility landscape. Decentralized mobility protocols will disrupt existing platform economies and enable new business models. How will we build that world? The unified mobility landscape could consist of a common database or protocol layer at the bottom, a smart contract layer to define common standards and a top layer housing the applications used by everyday people and machines.

In this track, teams will build IOTA and Ethereum-based PoCs that address specific problems and use-cases contributing as components within open mobility ecosystem.

General areas of interest for hackers:

• Distributed standards, governance, protocol-based decision models
• MaaS, Open Mobility
• Identity Management
• Automated payment and asset tracking
• Smart resource management
• Autonomous economic agents

Specific problems that hacks in this track might answer:

1. How to manage the identity of things and humans securely?
2. How to enable transactions (data, money, etc) between human and things including secure identities? Smart things interacting with other smart things Smart things interacting with people
3. How to provide a unified app ecosystem creating a highly modularized user experience pooling different services form various companies on a fair basis?

2. Smart Interoperable Infrastructure Track

Protocols and blockchains are well and good, but what about oracles, IoT and sensor data? Data is the lifeblood of any real-world IT system. How do we connect today’s hardware to build the open mobility ecosystem of the future? How can we ensure scalability and performance while guaranteeing an open mobility ecosystem?

In this track teams will build Ethereum and IOTA-based PoCs which connect the hardware and data sources within the open mobility ecosystem. Use cases for this track will cluster around the intersection of real-world problems at the interface level.

General areas of interest for hackers:

• IoT interfaces including electronic control units
• Data & sensors
• Oracles
• Autonomous authentication
• Key management for IoT & autonomous agents
• Second layer scaling and database solutions

Specific problems that hacks in this track might answer:

1. How to enable real-time data marketplaces for distributed devices?
2. How to manage the connectivity of things and humans?
3. How to define interoperable DLTs how to manage it?
