Vision and Scope

Overview

ExtroPlanner, is a project designed to help event organizers plan outdoor events and activities and monitor the current environment.

Using historical weather data in Bangkok, ExtroPlanner aims to help organizers predict rainfall and harsh weather conditions to determine if an event should be conducted during the timeframe and what equipment they should prepare.

Data sources:

Primary data source(s):

• Temperature and humidity sensor (KY-015) for measuring real time temperature and humidity
• CO sensor (MQ-9) for measuring CO levels

Secondary data source(s):

• Open weather API for weather data in Thailand.

Scope:

Main Features:

APIs to be provided to users

• Calculated risk of heatstroke based on predicted weather conditions
• Report current levels of CO in the area where the event is planned
• Predicted rainfall and impact based on predicted weather conditions.
• Descriptive statistics (Min-max and Avg) for weather conditions (temperature, CO, humidity/rainfall) in the area.
• Predicted values for weather conditions in the area up to 1 week in advance.

Web Application

• Charts (line, pie, bar) to visualize historical and predicted weather data
• Event advisor, to notify the impact of weather conditions such as:
  • Risk of heatstroke and current heat index.
  • Predicted rainfall during the event period.
  • Recommended items to prepare for the event.

Optional features for staged release

• Real time forecasting for weather conditions 1 day in the future.
