Students had to propose their own solution to a case on creating a water consumption management system in a residential area of a “smart city”, taking into account the elimination of drinking water losses during its transportation to the consumer.
The Novosibirsk team, consisting of two NSU and two NSTU students, beat students from Tomsk Polytechnic University, Skoltech, Moscow Aviation Institute, Moscow Engineering Physics Institute, Bauman Moscow State Technical University, Higher School of Economics, Innopolis University, and Izhevsk State Technical University named after M.T. Kalashnikov in the final competition.
Team composition:
— Daria Kolomnikova, 1st year master’s student Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of NSU,
— Ilya Merzlyakov, 1st year master’s student Faculty of Information Technology NSU,
— Igor Uchanov, Novosibirsk State Technical University,
— Maxim Nerlikh, Novosibirsk State Technical University.
— Our team has been participating in the NTO finals in the Smart City profile for many years, since school days. For many participating teams, this has already become a tradition, so the competition for first place has always been very serious. And now, after several years of winning prizes, we finally achieved our goal and took first place. We experienced a storm of emotions: joy for the victory, sadness that we might not return as participants, respect for our rivals who became our friends, and enormous gratitude to the profile organizers.
I was especially pleased that the organizers paid attention to the problem of insufficient involvement of female students in the Olympiad movement in the field of IT, and presented me with an award for “courage” to participate not for the first time in an all-male team of six teams, – shared her impressions Daria Kolomnikova.
The Smart City profile implies the concept of integrating information and communication technologies and the Internet of Things to improve the quality of life and well-being of the city’s population. This is the digitalization of all services, measurement and control of parameters in the city infrastructure, predictive diagnostics and management based on data analytics.
— Every year, the organizers come up with new tasks related to the automation of the city infrastructure. This year was no exception, and we solved the problem of modeling and automating water consumption and water supply. In the water consumption task, it was important to make a full-fledged service where the user can get all the statistics on consumption, payment and leaks in his apartment. At the same time, the statistics were based on real data obtained from our model. In addition, the smart city concept pays much attention to saving resources and conscious consumption, so it was necessary to implement a limitation of water supply depending on user consumption, — added Daria.
In this way, the finalists contribute to the construction of the digital city of the future with their projects.
— The algorithms developed by the finalists in the urban water supply management systems can be modified and scaled for operation in a real urban environment. This will not only allow you to monitor your water consumption in real time, but also significantly save water resources and your own finances, — said Alexander Zarnitsyn, profile developer, senior lecturer in the electronic engineering department of the TPU School of Non-Destructive Testing and Safety.
