CTA Capacity Tracker System
Inspiration
The hackathon theme set the basic idea and we bounced ideas to each other mostly revolving around issues that we had with the CTA.
What it does
This Capacity Tracker System keeps track of train congestion down to the individual carts
How we built it
Back-end was built on Java, server on MySQL, and front end uses php, JavaScript, and html
Challenges we ran into
Structuring how our overall system would flow with each other back-end to server pushing php to JavaScript
Accomplishments that we are proud of
We learned how to program in languages that we were unfamiliar with. We came together and managed to manage each other as a team
What we learned
Learning different languages How to push to a SQL database from java
What's next for the CTACTS
If this idea were to be developed further we would actually install sensors on the CTA lines and maybe even counters that more accurately keep track of the people
