smarter cities briefing for the technology strategy board's future cities catapult
DESCRIPTION
I recently spent the afternoon briefing the UK Technology Strategy Board's Future Cities Catapult team on IBM's engagement in the Smarter Cities market. This presentation covers our Research projects and "Smarter Cities Challenge" through which we developed our understanding of urban challenges and the opportunities for technology to address them; through to our engagement with entrepreneurs and other innovative ecosystems; through to case studies from our work with customers. The downloadable powerpoint file has speaker notes and links to further material.TRANSCRIPT

Smarter parking on a smarter high street
Data from parking, traffic, events, etc. enables future conditions to be predicted.
The effectiveness of “what-if” responses can be explored.
Parking Sensors & Meters
Cross-agency work can be planned and optimised.
Traffic Information Weather Events
Citizens and businesses can be updated and respond; travellers provided with predictive
route and parking services; shops able to respond dynamically and interactively.

So what I a Smarter City?
• A Smarter City systematically creates and consistently encourages innovations that:– change the relationships between the creation of
economic and social value and the consumption of resources
– contribute in a measurable way to achieving a vision and clear objectives that are supported by a consensus amongst city stakeholders
– and are enabled by technology

Administration
Environment
Culture
Economy
Transportation
Social Services
Public Safety
Energy
Infrastructure
Communities
Planning and Management
The city council which governs & provides public services?
The energy, utility & infrastructure companies who
build, manage & support the urban environment?
The shops & farmers who feed us?
The businesses who employ us, & the property developers who house us?

Who will build a Smarter City?
The urban lifestyle that we enjoy?
The transport systems that move us?

IOC for Citizen Collaboration allows the general public to easily report issues they encounter using mobile and web apps.
The new channel provides the local authority with new information on service requirements; and allows them to incorporate citizen observations into existing processes.
2. A traceable report can be sent to the IOC for validation and correlation; then to the relevant service.

1. The general public can report they encounter via mobile devices.
3. The IOC manages a coordinated response
4. The issue is resolved and communicated back to citizens

Wireless network links monitoring devices to central command center
Sewer system data can also be linked with asset & workflow tools to manage any specific
maintenance requests
Innovative technologies such as Smart Manhole Covers are used to detect sewer flow levels
Data can also drawn from more traditional SCADA/sensors systems.
High resolution weather and flooding models are used to generate accurate flood maps with details for impacted areas
Advanced analytics and optimization engines generate recommended actions for flood avoidance
Stormwater Management Command Center
Valves, pumps or inflatable dams are controlled dynamically to balance inline sewer storage and avoid potential overflows.
