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.
