Applying Open Data to inform future Smart City Design.png Applying Open Data to inform future Smart City Design
In order for cities and design professionals to have a more transparent understanding of the Climate Change impacts of potential building development, they must have a tool that provides quick and facile real time calculation linked to the weather data and utility information of an area, along with the potential energy usage. Between March 2016 and 2017:
  • We would continue the development of our resource impact estimation tool, PlanIT Impact, to create design specific estimations that can be adjusted in an immersive, 3D digital space for optimal iteration and analysis.
  • We would link to local utility data to estimate ROI, creating links with energy usage and green house gas impact, as this will help to inform (and shed light on possible gaps for incentives).
  • We would apply this platform to the design and projected energy, water usage and storm water impact on a municipal building project as a prototype and replicable model of how resource impact projection affects actual usage. As an end user of Open Data and Smart City technologies, this also allows the City to showcase and realize the value of this data to their larger constituency.
OaklandHousing.jpg Augmented Neighborhood Watch
# Engage with Constituents currently part of the City of Oakland NCPCs to keep an eye and report crime to their local police Beat Officers. Present IoT Kits to the NCPCs to invest in micro-grid infrastructure kits that include mesh networks, computer vision cameras, sensors, and secure communication channels to capture live data about events happening to community homes, block by block. Install series of “Capture” hardware devices and send this data to a secure data platform per kit owner.
  1. Connect this data to a Machine Learning / AI platform to learn about this data, scan for license plates, and identifiable characteristics and connect these data with co-designed If This Then That event programs to understand what the cameras are seeing and appropriate notify community members and law enforcement officials who have the ability to act on and apprehend individuals committing crimes. This live data will be streamed and hosted in secure cloud services, locked down to each micro-grid kit owner, to determine who will have access to this data in the form of sharing, selling, buying.
  2. If/when the constituent chooses to share or sell this data to City of Oakland public sector agencies like Oakland Police, Fire, Transportation, CA Highway Patrol they can provide live connections and streaming video to these agency devices in order to help Public agencies locate and apprehend people who commit illegal activities in and around homes and community gathering spaces.

LVCC Loop's cost was approximately $47M (firm fixed pricing) for the two tunnels and three stations (two surface and one subsurface). Tunneling occurred during large conventions (>100,000 attendees pre-COVID) with zero road closures and zero attendee disturbances.
BreakingTheCode.jpg Breaking the Code The UN-hackathon
Multnomah County, Oregon is partnering with Technology Association of Oregon (TAO) and other local groups to host a community collaborative problem solving event and an ongoing, community-based technology incubator called Breaking the Code.

We aim to break some of the barriers that exist among organizations that specifically serve people of color and the broad, local tech community. Partnering together gives us a platform to bridge the gap between the two and provide opportunities for Community Based Organizations (CBO’s) to become more efficient and effective in their targeted service delivery. A longer term goal is the creation of community-based and community-led technology start-ups.

Breaking the Code’s framework leverages assets from the public sector (data, staff, technology platforms, public infrastructure, small business incubation, etc.), and the technology industry (technology solutions, expertise, professionals, funding, etc.) with the goal of making CBOs more successful serving their community.

This, in turn, fulfils the promise of smart cities as “thriving communities” with well being across the life span, equity and access, sustainability, resiliency, and vibrant arts and culture.

Brooklyn Smart Energy Hub.jpg Brooklyn Smart Energy Hub
The Brooklyn Smart Energy Hub, a collaborative project between First Student and Con Edison, aims to demonstrate a scalable, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) solution to support medium and heavy-duty fleet electrification and address economic barriers in transitioning from diesel to electric power. This innovative hub will integrate 12 electric school buses equipped with rooftop solar panels and a solar array installed on the facility’s roof to create a robust energy generation, battery storage, and delivery system. Utilizing First Student's First Charge technology—a cost-effective, trenchless power deployment approach—the project will reduce installation costs and streamline deployment, even in challenging climates and urban settings. Beyond reducing emissions and operational costs, the hub’s bidirectional charging capabilities will offer backup power during peak demand, emergencies, and for essential services like hospitals, contributing to grid resilience and advancing V2G technology as a critical component of future energy systems.

This white paper describes COWs (Cell-on-Wheels), COLTs (Cell-on-Light Trucks), and Aerostats (CCAs) used to provide cellular or Wi-Fi connectivity in areas without 4G. They are used to provide emergency communications during catastrophic events such as fighting forest fires in rural areas, and in aftermath of earthquakes, hurricanes, or floods. In California there have been a series of state-level broadband meetings focused on the need to provide an immediate response to fill the distance learning and telemedicine broadband access gaps to unserved rural households sheltering in place during the COVID-19 crisis. Some telecommunications providers and public libraries are offering free Wi-Fi hotspots with 4G service to take home; however, 4G hotspots only work in areas with cellular broadband service.

GeorgiaTechIOT.png Campus Array Node and Array of Things Network Dual Deployment
The Project entails the dual deployment of Argonne National Labs’ Array of Things (AoT, v.2) and Georgia Tech Research Institute’s Campus Array Node (CAN, v.1). In combination, these two sensor networks will aid multi-modal transit from the perspective of both operators and users.

Partnering with the City of Atlanta, Georgia Tech Research Institute, and Argonne National Labs, and focusing on issues related to multi-modal transit, the Project focuses on the on-the-ground interoperation of two Internet of Things systems—AoT focused on environmental sensing and CAN focused on traffic/public safety monitoring—and how to display real-time data for public transit operators, pedestrians, and officials in meaningful ways that inform efficient, effective, and comfortable use of various mobility options.

From the engineering and infrastructural considerations to the political and community issues, the Project is a case study of a cyber-physical system that will result in a model of how to proceed with issues of interoperable Internet of Things systems, from technical standards to community engagement to areas of future work.

Ca4-innovation.png Carolinas Alliance 4 Innovation
The Greenville vision is a multimodal and multi-jurisdictional transportation plan across GPATS from Greenville Spartanburg (GSP) airport through Greenville’s urban areas to Clemson University. The modes include elevated, driverless car transit network system (ATN) aka personal rapid transit (PRT); smarter bus transit (including bus and traffic light sensors and electric buses); connected, assisted, or automated LSEV shuttle services; and more bike and pedestrian-friendly pathways. GreenVillages development will occur around mobility hubs. People live in GreenVillages development and connect at transportation nodes to work, shop, learn, heal and play. Better connectivity for people living along urban corridors helps deal with the issues of first/last mile transport so they would not need to own a car, and reduces traffic congestion, air pollution, transportation costs and traffic accidents.
