Common elements of city visions
What is a Smart City?Common city challenges
Socio-economic
• Growing population
• Aging population
• Economic prosperity
• Health and inequality
• Skills and market access
• Job creation and retention
• Infrastructure stress
Political
• Public sector budget
• Changing service needs
Environmental
• Climate change
• Resource scarcity
• Energy resilience
“The overwhelming core focus of the visions is an
improvement of local quality of life.
Following on from this, and linked to it, are
improvements in economic opportunity,
community engagement and integration; and a
reduction in environmental footprint”

The Result For Transportation• Can’t build our way out of this – need Smart City solutions
• Have to prepare for massive increase in data flows (and extract meaning better)• Rise of Open Data (Obama mandated)
• Infrastructure deficit means creative funding• Transportation can borrow from the future
• New data-centric Transportation/Smart Champion needed• Chief Mobile Data Officer: responsible for sharing city (mobile) data with the public,
facilitating the sharing of information between City departments, and analyzing how data sets can be used to improve city decision making
• Keep up with the newest solutions!
It’s Mostly About “Intelligent End Points”
• Today vehicles are the mobile networking points, tying in people and things in a moving fabric of communications
• People now choose their cars mostly on the vehicles ability to support their communications devices
• The single most valuable part of a car, is the information harness around the engine
• 80% of the innovation that goes into an automobile, goes into the communications systems
Reason to Focus on Newest Solutions
Why “Keeping Up With Solutions” Is So Key
• Limitations of Spectrum: Radio wave circulator, U of Texas• Can double the useful wireless spectrum with full-duplex
• Cost of Infrastructure• AT&T doing 40,000 in next 2 years alone
• Reduced Travel: High bandwidth for work & healthcare
• Operational Revolutions: Do we need carriers?
Organizational Transformation for Transportation
• Collaboration across silos• And measure it
• Freedom for creativity• For procurement and to
overcome fear-of-failing
• Incorporation of Innovation• Senior leaders champion
and reward innovation
Application Impacts
• Car Design: smaller central console, better drive dynamics
• Driving Experience: distance optimization, health sensors
• Infrastructure: E-Vehicles talk to E-grids, route optimization
Ultimate Infrastructure: Self-Drive
