So welcome to section 3
point 2 and these are all examples of
features Mobility Solutions in
the Indy, basically concrete examples. And
in these examples, I
like to think that seeing
is believing. So I'm going to share some
examples of how we're approaching.
This dilemma of future Mobility for our city.
So let's look at three examples
that put all of these kinds of
Concepts into
So here's a fun example about not talking about the
vehicles or the smart Mobility Solutions
in sense of actual automobile
or system like that, but about the
infrastructure or in this case, the traffic lights
behind them. And so in the Netherlands right
now, we have about 850 Intelligent
Traffic Control Systems and
which is using a kind of I VRI technology.
To detect motion to determine what kind of
technical vehicles are approaching in the time and
time the lights accordingly. So the lights
are kind of sending data literally directly
through. The cars, were receiving
the data and can maybe even
give priority to ambulances, fire trucks
and so forth. And this
kind of really starts optimizing the
way that we can.
Move more in types of
vehicles in and out of our cities, more intelligently.
And I think in this example,
it's kind of nice. I'll think about too. Is that when these smart
traffic lights, detect, bigger, lorries,
and and trucks and big,
the big Goods movements,
and things like that, that you can actually reduce the
CO2 emissions because they don't have to idle and
break and so forth or wait at
these two.
Plates.
The second one is kind of
out of this world, but I'd really like love
to share this with you. It's a
concept where you can kind of
reimagine the existing infrastructure of
the different, the existing characteristics of your own City. And
in our case is in Amsterdam. It's about the
the canals everywhere. And these scientists
from MIT and AMS
Institute, which is
The advanced Metropolitan Solutions have
come up with a systems to move many,
many more moves Goods through our
existing Canal system. And this system is called the rowboat
as a little pun on rowboat, but robe
robots and robots, but it's a self-driving boat.
That's delivering people
and goods through the existing Canal infrastructure
here, in our city. Basically, it's navigating Itself
by a kind of lidar system, which is a point clouds.
Scan that we have 3D basically a 3D scanning system to
move through the the city. And
what's interesting now is that lots of
investment groups and partners are interested in moving,
for example, in the morning DHL
FedEx and whatnot can move the parcels
into the City. And at the end of
the day, these little autonomous boats
that are self navigating can
move waste out of the city.
So on the right, you see a little boat
where people can jump on jump off and you remove the
need for Building Bridges or
tunnels where these Droids can literally pick you up and
deliver you across the waterway in
the circuit or likewise on the left and
the right. You see, someone demonstrating how
you can retrofit the droids to collect waste and
there's the waste Shoots for the residents to come out and the
Droid can work.
7, 24 hours a day, 7 days, a week
to pick up the waste and quietly, remove
the waste from the city. So, this
example is wonderful to exemplify
how autonomous droids.
Let's call them drones
for that matter. Can start facilitating specific
into industry needs. Social needs
environmental needs using kind
of the existing infrastructures.
Of your city.
The next example is super low Tech in
the future. We have to imagine that people
aren't going to be owning all of their own cars that maybe
we can start sharing things. And so this is
super simple. Illustration and example of
how Bert hubs which translates to Neighborhood. Hubs
can start facilitating different
types of electric vehicles,
whether the be electric scooters, electric car,
go B bikes steps.
But not and with that you
start creating a kind of infrastructure where you
can pick up and drop off on demand and not have to own
anything anymore. And this obviously
reduces the sense. They are all, let's
say battery-operated. Obviously, you're
reducing the CO2 emissions, into
your own City. And there's lots of different kinds of modal
transportation systems
with a small medium or large systems that can actually start.
Moving more goods and I think
on a social level, it's about cooperation so that you
can booked and reserved and share these
kinds of solutions. So that
your own neighborhood. Your own District doesn't
rely. So heavily on having to
park or having to move all of these big
expensive, heavy stinky vehicles,
through your, through your neighborhood,
but you can borrow and keep
Lean mean and clean.
Another way of looking at smart feature, Mobility is
looking beyond the kind of motorized vehicles
or smart transportation systems, but
maybe just looking at the, the, the paving, as
a simple idea, sort of sound canceling Pavements
or in this case of the
van Gogh path. Bye bye. Don.
Rosengard of Duty Rosengard looked at how
they could integrate kind of
a sustainable use of roads for
Auro. And this was again. This is done
together with hymens infrastructure, which is a large engineering
and construction company here.
The Netherlands with its going to goal to make smart
roads, by using light energy information that
can interactive with any traffic situation. In
this case, of course, it's bicycles, but
it does create a kind of place of Wonder and inspiration.
And
it also kind of enhances the public safety.
And the local tourism. And this was commissioned by
this date of bra bonds here in the Netherlands. And
so the project is part. Mobility projects, like the van Gogh path. Start
to celebrate, the cultural heritage and connects
to Innovation and technology and
in a beautiful way that can actually create new experiences for
cities. So the system is basically just 600
meter long, smart bicycle path, and
it uses kind of a photoluminescent paint that
basically is charged.
In the day and then glows at night. And it's
nice because it kind
of creates a crazy place of curiosity and wonder, and compels
people to, you know, use more bikes and
to make their journey through in
and out of the, the city, quite quite magical.
And the lot of other
kind of examples in the Netherlands, are also exploring about
how to transform bike paths into solar panels, which again is
becoming Dual Purpose. Not only beep writing.
I'm boring bike paths, but transforming
them into beautiful experiences,
but also productive pieces of
infrastructure to create energy for the surrounding communities.
Fun morph is a super super hot,
start up here in the city of
Amsterdam, but it's taking over the world because they're
making bold claims that they're redefining Urban
mobility, and they're doing that the old-fashioned Dutch
ways, of course, by bicycle. However,
these these bikes are not
your normal bike. These are super smart bikes and
they they are definitely Transforming Our
City, and maybe you've seen
These examples in your own City, but
they like to kind of brag about the fact that they are redefining
the bike Lanes. So, here in the city of
Amsterdam. In fact, they are reclaiming.
Some of the older streets explicitly for
e-bikes and encouraging, more people
to give me commuting by bicycle through in, and out of the city. So,
the van moves now, or when the most one
of the most popular bikes that you'll see out on the
And the the I have I have on myself full
disclosure and the last year and a half. It's been
a lot of fun. So what
the what the bike does is basically, it's the S3 model
here, which is the third iteration of their bicycle
is a high-speed ebike for
the cities in writers of the future. What makes
it unique is that it's got lots of kind of bells and
whistles, built-in sides. Very very modest frame, for
example, the tamper detection.
Section and remote lockdown modes. Can allow owners like
me to control the
bike and the alarms and because it has lots of
smart location and tracking that are especially
designed to give a bike thieves, big nightmares.
It's really, it makes a lot of noise. If you touch it and
alarms goes off, the lights goes off and attracts a lot of attention, but
if it gets stolen for some reason that
there's a whole new gig economy even around
these bikes, which are bike Hunters.
And the if you if it gets stolen this
bike Hunters are deployed the next day and within
just a few hours, they will find your bike and
bring it back. Or if you have a
subscription model. They'll give you
a new one as a kick lock meaning
that you don't have the awkwardness of
carrying chains and locking them to pieces of urban furniture
anymore. You can leave them. You can leave your bikes anywhere you
want and just by kicking the lock.
It locks itself and it's armed. So in other
words, if anybody touches it, it will make lots and lots of noise.
What I love about, the, the found move bike is
that they have a turbo boost button. So, especially when
you're on these fast bike Lanes, you can hit that
turbo button and jump to 4th gear and ride between
25. 35 km through the city. And
if your city has nice bike paths that
can rapidly reduce your commuting times.
What's nice is that you
have for example this
I'm just a quick illustration here. This is me, and
it gives me this kinds of oversights of how many
kilometers that I've biked over the
year and that's quite
important because here in the Netherlands, the government gives
you subsidies. For example, 19
Euro cents per kilometer and you can
redeem that.
At the end of the year with the tax office because
they're trying to encourage more people to obviously
use bikes instead of cars. But what's nice
about these overviews is that it also shows you how much CO2
your saving by bicycle
biking. And therefore creating kind of new community
of people that are very environmentally conscious
about not
using cars and trucks and things like that, but just or scooters
for that matter, but using nice quiet ebike.
Can go quite quite quickly.
So it's super efficient,
small compact in light, and they
are the the price pricing on
these bikes is around eight 1800
Euros. So, they are comparable to
the scooters and certainly a good alternative
to the cars. And when you
have so many people moving through the city, the city is healthier and
you can also
You know, have a much more enjoyable experience moving through the cities in
the Parks and so forth on an icy
bike. And like I said just mentioned
earlier, the data also also providing incredible
insights to the owners of The Phantom of
bikes and kind of gamifying relationships with
maybe their colleagues or their friends. And
certainly ask creating a stronger relationship with their bikes in
the city.
And the next section, of course, we
need to figure out how to keep these awesome Solutions
secure.
