University of Windsor AUTO21 Program

By completing the National Child Seat Survey using BlackBerry smartphones, we've created an easy, more cost-effective way of doing this survey. — Dr. Anne Snowdon, Associate Professor, Odette School of Business, University of Windsor

Business Challenge

Computer Science students needed to build a mobile application to complete a National Child Seat Safety Survey at 200 intersections across Canada so the results could be quickly sent to an analytical database for rapid and accurate data analysis.

Solution

  • A custom, web-based application was created in-house using the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server the University already had in place
  • BlackBerry® smartphones are now used to complete the surveys, which are automatically sent to a database so the results can be analyzed

Results

  • Leverages existing technology
  • Less time to complete surveys
  • More robust data
  • Can be applied to other uses
