So welcome to section 3 future mobility. In
this section. I'll be introducing you to the context history
Concepts and security risks facing
our feature of Mobility systems.
So one of my favorite questions
to City officials is, what is their biggest challenge
facing their city? And they
always say congestion traffic,
right? So from the Aging infrastructure
to pollution to jam streets and clogging sidewalks
things obviously need to change.
So things are getting busy
in our cities and I'm going to be covering a
lot of broad topics personally. I kind of
quick introduction to the various feature Mobility types and systems
behind them. Secondly, kind
of a deeper dive into the many Concepts and
the systems to move many more Goods people.
And lastly, in this section. I'm
going to be talking about the Solutions in the benefits for a
great mom.
Ability strategy.
So, to kick off, let's talk about the
some of the biggest Mobility challenges facing
the 21st Century City. What you're seeing, here is
a Kind of a Funny diagram, but what
it says is 50% of the infrastructure means that
half of the urban spaces are taken up by the roads rails
and other infrastructure, which
doesn't leave much more for the people. We
humans. The second graph that
you see here, the e-bikes and
It was interesting, certainly for for the last year year
and a half during the pandemic was
that people didn't want to ride public
transport. So, they started buying e-bikes, and there
was a huge Spike that 50% of the
people or 50%, The sales were
dedicated to e-bikes to move more efficiently. Safely
healthy healthily through the cities and
likewise for the electric car sales. Just
over half the cars sales and Norway.
Is wanting one country. For example, was
a completely Electric in 2017. And
these are important kinds of stories. And
it kind of anecdotes to describe the transition to
a smarter Mobile City and
to be more specific. There are a
lot of kind of familiar Mobility problems. That we need to
fix that. We can relate to
some of our cities and wherever
you're coming from week and weekend.
Definitely say that that the CO2
levels are increasing and scientifically.
This is the twenty percent of the carbon. Dioxide
is taking place in the cities. There
is a health and safety warning
for many many C's right now. So that
of the 1.3 million people that died
and 20 to 30 million, people are injured from
road, traffic accidents. So we have to take care of the safe,
the, the Safety and Security of sight.
You know, not just the streets, but sidewalks congestion
is again, one
of those things that just has a waste time but also wastes
energy and we're belching out
all sorts of CO2 into the air
and that's causing all
sorts of problems in terms of because
of the slower speeds and the longer trips and
also ultimately, you know, working times.
Infrastructure. The world economic Forum estimates,
an investment of infrastructure supposed to be
as by 80 trillion
by 2040. You as a huge investment, and
these are huge problems. To move
more people more Goods. Accessibility is
becoming more of a personal problem. So whether
it be whether we are becoming older or
we need to become more independent, and
these all require kinds of
Solutions where we can move around.
So let's let's dive in a little bit deep
and talk about the various
types of Mobility solutions that
are out there. Maybe, maybe first,
it's fun to kind of look back just over 100
years ago where this is
a wonderful illustration about same, same
street and a 1919 13.
And we can see the we can
see what we see here in the left is
And buggy Transportation, which was the
mode of Transport back in New York City in 1900 and
just 13 years later. New Yorkers
upgraded to the automobile. And
this just shows you how quick even Mobility
is transforming not just in
New York, but all around the world.
So, it's important to kind of demonstrate the
different types of examples of the future
Transportation Systems. A lot of hype
around the hyperloop, which is
a high-speed transport system for both passengers
Goods, that can run Below in
low pressure in a vacuum. Basically tubes
using magnetic propulsion underground,
drones. We
are hearing more and more about
It's not just about filming anymore. It's
going to be about unmanned Mobility systems
that are delivering Goods to
pass it to Consumers and
and City. Dwellers alike. Ride-sharing.
This isn't actually new.
I think anybody knows Lyft. And
Uber, for example, radically Transforming Our
cities faster than we can never anticipate, but
they are kind of a booking system on
and new gig economy. Where if you have an extra car,
you then become a requested
taxi and driver and
micro Mobility. So and lots
of discussions about how to move more efficiently
more effectively in their 5-minute radius as
so the E Scooters and unicycles
and all these kinds of things are moving
us, much more cleanly and more efficiently through
the last kind of
Neighborhoods and businesses that we work
autonomous shuttles. Those
of you that are interested in smart cities,
have probably been to a conference where you can actually ride these shuttles. These
shuttles will be moving people much
more effectively and efficiently through our
city.
So it's not just about the types
of Mobility Solutions is also about the
kind of infrastructure. So what this
diagram is showing you here is that there's a lot of kind
of development and digital signage has which
are smart, signs are connected to your vehicle's. The
surveillance and traffic cams can basically detect
congestion and prioritize
different types of vehicles through those
sections drone delivery.
In this illustration, of course, it's Arielle, but
it could also be on ground or on water, which I'll
discuss in them and then the next section EV
charging stations. So as
the future Mobility Technologies,
Advanced were relying less and
less on the the combustible engine
and more electrical engines. How do we supercharged them? So we don't have
to wait 45 minutes, but we can charge your engines
and five or ten minutes and for
Chuck D equals smart lighting, of course, these
kinds of things are trigger lighting. Our
sidewalks and Alleyways to
allow more goods and services to move through parking.
Exactly real-time parking availabilities, smart
traffic lights detect what kinds of priority you
are. These are all kinds of future
Mobility systems that aren't about the vehicle
itself, but the system behind it.
So, let's talk about just a few kinds of
super important concepts of urban
Mobility.
I think what you can kind of
do if you're interested in this topic, is to kind of break it down into
two parts, one is moving people. And the other
one is moving Goods. Sometimes we forget those two, but these are
equally important. And moving
people is a vital component
of the city and obviously,
it's no wonder that a hundred years ago. There were looking
at metros and buses and things to move people more people around
in less time, likewise moving Goods
is
Biked over time especially during Corona, can't
go out anymore. So how do we move more
Goods, more efficiently, more effectively in
that in and out of our cities and also in
our cities and neighborhoods and
sidewalks. Let's say
so in this illustration, we're going to look at
just the kind of kind of illustration of
where we are today and
where we need to go. So today's kind of City
models to the plan is basically, we
need more car lanes and corrodes and
everything else. But if you really think carefully
to the right, you start seeing kinds of
calculations and models of how
we can much more effectively.
Imagine the same profile to move many, many,
many more people, arguably
to two-and-a-half much more people in
the same kind of scenario, and that's,
that's, that's important. And that's not just a
spatial design. That's also kind of the
services and whatnot behind the transportation systems.
So here in Amsterdam, we have some diagrams to explain
where we are today, which is we
have cars that are just
admitting all sorts of garbage into the air and
we have poor people that have to go from bike to the tram to
the train. And we have mono
functional parking spaces that just, you
know, use one parking space per
one car in the future in the near
future, at least in this city that we can imagine.
Cleaner and healthier safer kind of scenario, where
the intelligence in our
vehicles are talking to each other's and to
each other and we can occupy. More space
has among each other and Mobility
is comfortable. So it's not just waiting waiting waiting for
the next connection that the connection is interconnected.
And of course, if
we have a future of autonomous vehicles, electric vehicles
that we don't need the parking spots.
Anymore because those Vehicles will be wandering around
the city's looking for a booking and Deliver us to
the right spot and therefore freeing us up to
a more quiet and and
more. This a dynamic kinds of
Mobility system.
Likewise Mobility service for those that
view their don't know. You
can plan pay for the multiple modal
transportation systems and
this is can be done from
your home to electric bike. To the train station to
electric scooter, and last five minutes, and
this becomes super affordable. Super
energy conscious
as we
Discussed in the last section and these kinds of
systems are helping bridge that gap between having
justifying the existence of
all of our personal cars and making life. As
easy as it can be with it with one
card. You could actually just as effectively,
just as environmentally, just as socially book,
your own multimodal system.
So in this section, we're going to be talking about autonomous vehicles. There
is a lot of debate about these kinds of things but
it can actually be broken down into different levels.
Autonomous vehicles are
like Tesla Tesla cars, right? And there's more and
more manufacturers that are coming out with more vehicles and
they are all talking to each other and
but they're also not only not only
carrying batteries. So there were polluting less.
But they're also navigating themselves. And
so this becomes super super interesting when we start
talking about radar lidar sonar and GPS that
they start navigating themselves. And
what's interesting. Is that right now? I think we're all kind
of familiar with the level 1 level three kinds of
definitions, which is partial Automation and
conditional automation. So, for
example, you're driving along and something happens
they car can
Ping. You basically remind you to take action and
levels 4 and 5, which are coming around the corner and
level 4 means. Basically, you
could be eating a breakfast burrito driving
to work and letting the car. Do its job.
And later on full
automation means that we don't have any human intervention.
We can take naps or carry
groups of people and let
the car get to your
destination.
Last mile delivery is a super important
concept about how to decongest the
inner city roads, and sidewalks from
all of these delivery Vans, which
we're seeing here are kinds of scenarios. I
think we all kind of got familiar with them, especially here during Corona
where we have more bikes and careers and
things zipping around, delivering our Goods to
our doorstep, and this becomes super
important in the, in the future. See
City where we can think about a
more eco-friendly and socially friendly Last
Mile solution.
Multimodal transport again is kind of keep
breaking down, those kinds of systems where
we don't have to ask
all of these trucks and vans and things to
occupy our streets. And sidewalks that we look
at it as a system, where and
smaller and smaller kinds of vehicles can distribute
the goods in our city, not
just during the rush hours, but of course, 24/7.
You know, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
So here are the reasons why
we need to kind of support these Concepts,
which is about making sure
that our cities are cleaner and they're more efficient there
quicker. Obviously, they're safer. There's
much more space that
are available because of all of
these efficiencies.
The services are obviously more affordable and
likewise is more available
to all sorts of different kinds of interest
groups. They're more reliable trustworthy.
And hopefully hopefully
that all of these kinds of interconnected systems become
more convenient for our self.
And in the next section, I'm going
to talk about some crazy
examples of these smart city solutions.
