ATACK Together

Inspiration

Inspired by the lack of a standard Human Trafficking reporting system, ATACK is designed to be a platform for non-profit/government agencies to collect information.

What it does

ATACK is a Human Trafficking reporting system. It provides people with the ability to report incidents of Human Trafficking, as well as provide a system for consuming report data. ATACK also has a few hardware interfaces, including a donation kiosk and a smart reporting beacon.

How we built it

ATACK Cloud

The ATACK core is a web application designed to be cloud portable. Built using NodeJS, MongoDb, and Redis, ATACK is deployed in AWS, Azure and GCP.

Deployment configuration:

	Hosted web app	Redis	MongoDb
Google Cloud Platform	App Engine	Compute Engine	Mongodb Atlas
Microsoft Azure	App Service	Azure Redis Cache*	Azure Cosmos DB
Amazon Web Services	Elastic Beanstalk	Lightsail*	Mongodb Atlas

* denotes partial implementation

ATACK Smart Reporting Beacon

The Smart Reporting Beacon is an IoT device that can both capture voice input and an image of a person reporting human trafficking. The device hardware consists of a Matrix Creator, Raspberry Pi 3 B+, and Raspberry Pi Camera. The device can transcribe and translate both English and Spanish.

This device consumes the following services:

Azure Congnitive Services Text Analytics
Azure Congnitive Services Bing Speech
Google Cloud Translation
Google Cloud Speech-to-Text
Google Cloud Storage
Amazon S3 Buckets
Amazon Rekognition

ATACK Charity Kiosk

The Charity Kiosk is a simple IoT device designed to process donations in the form of credit card payments. Primarily a hardware component, the Charity Kiosk uses a Qualcomm Dragonboard 410c as the core platform. It interfaces with a USB HID magnetic stripe card reader, and an Arduino/Button/LedMatrix system. The Dragonboard runs a NodeJS application that reads an input dollar amount from the Arduino, and calls the Authorize.net API's when a card is swiped. A notification is then sent to the ATACK Cloud through Redis.
