1 Tip Franklin Director, Business Development The New Era of Information in Transportation Our Integrated Future The path to a Smarter City

2 Points of Discussion Agenda The Road to Success Understand Our Challenge(s) Using Data Efficiently Understand the Relationships A Smart City Approach

3 The Road to Success Smart Information for a Sustainable World

4 Focus on the challenge not the buzz words Smart City its on the horizon Great Potential to get there we must focus on Managing data Integrating disparate systems Managing the problems that occur Providing a management overview Dashboards Achieving significant cost savings Aiding the environment But there are some challenges This is an evolutionary cycle not revolutionary Each of the above becomes a stepping-stone to deliver Smart City Focusing today on the day-to-day problems and finding innovative solutions will provide the catalyst for getting to the Smart City Smart City cannot happen in one giant leap The Wright brothers didn t develop the 747 Understand the Challenges Understand the Data Understand the Systems Integration Integrated DSS Create Self- Healing Systems Smart Transport

5 A Smart City is a system of systems Energy Mobility Renewable Energy Smart Grid Smart Metering Gas Distribution Electric Vehicles Traffic Management Tolling & Congestion Charging Mass Public Transport Integrated Management Platform Control Center(s) Efficient Buildings Efficient Homes Public Safety Education Public Lighting Buildings & Homes Water Distribution Mgmt Water Stormwater Mgmt Healthcare Public Services Schneider Electric - Smart Cities 5

6 Understand our Challenge(s) Smart Information for a Sustainable World

7 Traveler Problem Statement Daily traveler information is at best sporadic. Integrated multi-modal information is rarely available. Much of the data is insufficient, incomplete and untimely. Service providers have limited access to real-time data. Rarely do systems provide any useful transit information. Generally only freeway routes are covered. Travelers have to search for information to assist them in making decisions The requirement for personalized, location aware, accurate, real-time and predictive multimodal information presents perhaps one of the biggest challenges for state agencies to date Couple this with rapidly changing technology, and the equation would appear to be all but impossible to solve.

8 Agency Problem Statement Facing worst budgetary constraints since the 30 s Limited Integration between systems Stove-piped approach limiting efficiency Demand for timely information rising exponentially Not able to maintain status-quo, let alone meet the changing needs of technology Politically charged environment Emerging network management strategies such as HOT/managed lanes, Congestion charging, etc. Agencies simply have inadequate systems, tools, data and therefore information to fully cover their network, let alone the tools to be able to disseminate accurate, timely and useful information to the traveling public.
