Who We Are

Project Whistler is an open-source database that shows the records about the intensity of sound inside the Dhaka Metropolitan Area.

The AlgoJect team runs Project Whistler through the help of some kind-hearted contributors across Dhaka City. The work is done in four steps.

SUBMISSION

The volunteers first go to particular regions and assemble the pieces of information about the noise there. They then record that information through a third-party app and send it along with their own identity.

VERIFICATOIN

In the second step, we work with the identification of the sender and verify all the evidences by looking at it from different sources.* After the verification process is done, the information is selected to be sent along to our server.

*We may also talk to the sender in a special case.

TRANSMISSION

In the next step, The verified data is uploaded to our server. We enrich our database by adding appropriate documents to specific profiles of different areas at regular intervals.

VISUALIZATOIN

Finally, all our collaborators and visitors can see the verified and accurate* data from our website.

*Data may slightly vary from real-time inspection.
