Nerve City

Abstract

NerveCity is an innovative and scalable platfrom designed to monitor and track urban enviroments in real time targeting city planners, government agencies, environmental consultants and regular citizens . Nerve city takes data from existing sources including government APIs, satellite imagery, and historical datasets to provide real-time insights into air quality, noise levels, temperature, and humidity. all data processing will adhere to relevant processing standards with designs where users can control each component of the system.

Functionality

Basic overview of the flow

Signup - verification - Choose preffered insights - choose plan - start

Features

1) Automated data analysis

AQI calculation - where the air quality will be cross refrenced and evaluated in a certain area the user has selected or the city as a whole
Noise level mapping - where the area will be surveyed for the ammount of noise pollution
Temperature - temperature and humidity of areas will be made avaliable on a daily basis

after checking from various sources an overall score will be given to an area the user selects based on the previous results

2) Visualization all the sources / data will be shown in a interactive map on the app providing a helpful and interactive map for the users as a quick glance

3) Predictive Analysis the sources will be analyzed with historical and real-time data to predict environmental changes days or weeks in advance, supporting mindful decision-making.

4) Crowdsourced Engagement Allow citizens to submit environmental observations via the mobile app. These inputs are validated and checked against avaliable data, ensuring high accuracy and fostering community engagement.

5) Smart city can be Integrated with smart city systems (traffic control, public transport, and energy management) to adjust to operations in response to environmental conditions, such as changing traffic to reduce emissions and can be fitted with sensors in the future to improve on the system.

Scope

To achieve a Minimum Vialble Product (MVP) the basic services will be implemented

User Login - web application that enables secure login with Two-Factor Authentication, accessing the personal Nerve city profile.
Dashboard - interactive map with data that shows historical and data up till the recent.
Data integration modules - where data from multiple sources are taken to show a unified view.
Analysis - data will then be stored and shown according to their relevance
report generation - modules to generate / convert data into standard PDFs

Quality Attributes

1) scalability Definition: how easily new functions / features can be added to the existing system without failure and degredation system: the system must be able to handle an increasing number of users and data sources

2) Availability Definition: Continous 24/7 access to the data and system with all of its features system: there will be anti- fail measures and redundancy checks which will enusre it wont go down easily

3) Reliability Definition: How accurate it is with all the data and the services it provides system: the accuracy of the data alongside the levle of correct decision making the system can do

4) Interoperability Definition: the ability of the system to make use of and excahnge data system: seamless integration with the current apps and trends alongside the urban planning sector

Evaluation

1) Scalability

Increase in data input and user requests using lead testing tools measuring response times and error percentages to increase the functioning of the system
conduct interview with users to observe how they interact with the system and adjust parameters accordingly

3) Avalibility

Monitor the system with various tools simulate fault scenarios with recovery to ensure continous operation with minimum degradation
test responsiveness and accuracy of system on various devices

4) Reliability

measure outputs with currently avaliable benchmarks to ensure the system remains consistent over time
Monitor the crowdsourced inputs against basline measurements to validate data quality

5) Interoperability

Regularly cross verify daya from multiple external sources like goverment APIs to ensure consistency
