Open supervision platforms for smart and sustainable cities

Open supervision platforms for smart and sustainable cities, Yves PERREAL, Strategic studies Director, THALES THNS 2010

Urban transport is a complex and unpredictable landscape • Most of the transport resources available in a urban area are made up of individual vehicles, not under the control of the public planning. • This makes difficult to manage efficiently the transport, specially for the degraded modes (congestion, accident. . ) YP THNS 2010 ©Thales 2010 • To be efficient, this management requires to get additional 1 information from various sources, and to have the capacity to coordinate many stakeholders. THNS 2010

Optimizing the users journey • The transport user needs an exhaustive information on the real time status of the transport offer, in order to optimize its journey • The transport operator needs a real time status of the YP THNS 2010 ©Thales 2010 traffic and of the travel demand. 2 • The goal is to reconciliate the 2 approaches: • Individualized passenger information • Real time adaptation of the transport operations THNS 2010

Emergence of the multi-modality concept • Because the different transport means are not independant, they cannot be operated in silos. • The multi-modality is the only way to manage the YP THNS 2010 ©Thales 2010 interactions, and to give: 3 • An accurate and global information to the users • External constraints for the transport operations. • For authorities, the possibility to orchestrate the different stakeholders. THNS 2010

Additional challenges for a smart city • The environmental impact, mainly due to traffic pollution becomes critical. • The authorities must guarantee safety and security for all citizens YP THNS 2010 ©Thales 2010 • To be able to react quickly in case of crisis, and to adapt 4 easily to multiple degraded modes, the authorities must have a complete but synthetic view of the situation. THNS 2010

How to get interoperable systems • One way is to propose dedicated standardized interfaces • Each application is related to (all) others • This is a strong constraint to maintain the complete system • We can also use an external bridge, where the relevant YP THNS 2010 ©Thales 2010 information is shared between all the applications. 5 • In this case, the orchestration between the applications is done by en engine within the bridge.

Today’s Architectures of Supervision Systems Silo approach: one application for each function Traffic Mangt Air Control Parking YP THNS 2010 ©Thales 2010 Pros 6 § Highly modular => Modifying any module does not impact the others § Each Sw product is efficiently designed to address its functions THNS 2010 Public Information Access Control Video Management Traffic Light Mngt Cons § No synthetic view and no automatic synchronization of the stakeholders. § Manual actions required to follow paper procedures § No integrated HMI => Human based global situation awareness § Difficult lifecycle management, solution based on various protocols and interfaces
