  1. The Future Vision of iMobility in ArabiaTowards Unified Regional Strategy Dr Muna Hamdi IMFV Group Founder IMFV Virtual Research Centre Lead munahamdi@mghfuturevision.co.uk www.hud.ac.uk/imfv/ ITU Workshop on “ICT Innovations for Developing Countries”(Tunis, Tunisia, 20 June 2012)

  2. Overview iMobility: Future Vision (IMFV) Group & Virtual Research Centre The Future Vision of iMobility in Arabia Arab Knowledge Base: iMobility Research teams The Tunisian Example Conclusion and What Next? iMobility: Future Vision @ ITU: ICT Innovation for Development Countries

  3. iMobility: Future Vision Group & Virtual Research Centre To Influence Change by thinking beyond the horizon of the current technology & innovation constraints; addressing problems related to the slow progressin the evolution of efficient transport with Systemsof Systems approach towards Multi-Modality & TrueIntelligence. iMobility: Future Vision @ ITU: ICT Innovation for Development Countries

  4. Unbiased Vision to the Future • Who can contribute?Why Join? • A unique longitudinal partnership of sector leaders in Intelligent Mobility (IM), with unparalleled joint experience in: • IM basic research, • Research into market, • Infrastructure development • Project management iMobility: Future Vision @ ITU: ICT Innovation for Development Countries

  5. iMobility: Future Vision @ ITU: ICT Innovation for Development Countries

  6. Smart Living Environment: combined Transport & Built Environment’ Understanding of the interrelationships of all influential factors such as social, economic, environmental, policies land use, & the built environment iMobility: Future Vision @ ITU: ICT Innovation for Development Countries

  7. Smart Cities -New & Old infrastructure • New:Offering a unique opportunity to implement the Future Model of - ‘Seamless Travel’ e.g. Arab Region • Old: Many barriers & challenges - e.g. London, EU • current infrastructure, • migration from legacy systems, • take up of new systems & processes by transport system managers & operators. iMobility: Future Vision @ ITU: ICT Innovation for Development Countries

  8. iMobility: Future Vision @ ITU: ICT Innovation for Development Countries

  9. Benefits: • Promoting social inclusion and regeneration leading to economic prosperity and demographic growth. This will be achieved by providing efficient transport links, multimodal travel choices and accessibility on a national and international level. • Safer travel - to reduce traffic congestion and road fatalities. • Healthier travel - to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by improved network management thereby improving air quality. iMobility: Future Vision @ ITU: ICT Innovation for Development Countries

  10. Future Vision of iMobility in Arabia – Why? • No Legacy systems • Every New City should be an Intelligent City • Lesson learned – Avoiding repeating mistakes – using world wide expertise for future mid- long term planning Not all Arab countries have funding capabilities to support these programmes. However, the market value and success of future servicesand applications has better chance if the region advances in uniform manner following unified strategy and standards. iMobility: Future Vision @ ITU: ICT Innovation for Development Countries

  11. ITS Architecture To Develop a Strategy that ensures the deployment of sustainable, integrated, cost effective ITSS that supports a growing economy & the rapid changes in Transport Technology Special emphasis to be given to the definition of an ITS framework architecture addressing long term multimodal infrastructure requirements & possible organisational structures that enables larger scale implementation in future iMobility: Future Vision @ ITU: ICT Innovation for Development Countries

  12. User Acceptance Safe Reliable Green Comfortable Journey Travel Management • Markets: • Infrastructure • Personal • Commercial Information Management Business Case? Services Applications iMobility: Future Vision @ ITU: ICT Innovation for Development Countries

  13. The Future To identify requirements, problems & appropriate solutions in line with international standards, for the adaptation & support of intelligent transport systems & services deployment To generate guidelines, for example with regards to: • What are the required & applicable future technologies, applications and services ? • Gradual & efficient implementation of future technologies such as cooperative systems with consideration to social, economic & cultural needs- (Infrastructure, Personal & Commercial) • Multimodal Information: Management, Presentation & Choice . iMobility: Future Vision @ ITU: ICT Innovation for Development Countries

  14. Arab Knowledge Base Research Groups: Future applications of cooperative systems in the MENA region (Qatar, Tunisia, UAE, Algeria……) Arabic Road Message signs &Travel information presentation Intelligent Mobility & Smart Urban Environment iMobility: Future Vision @ ITU: ICT Innovation for Development Countries

  15. iMobility Research teams SESAME University, Tunisia Palestinian iMobility Team : NEW - Just Roadway, Transportation and Traffic Safety Research Centre, UAE University More information about the teams can be found in: www.hud.ac.uk/imfv/members iMobility: Future Vision @ ITU: ICT Innovation for Development Countries

  16. Case Study: Tunisia’s Future in Intelligent Mobility Green – Sustainable- Integrated – Multimodal Transport www.hud.ac.uk/imfv/publications/ iMobility: Future Vision @ ITU: ICT Innovation for Development Countries

  17. An ITS Deployment Plan has to respond to the following questions: ITS Architecture: What ITS services do we need to deploy? Roadmap: How, Where and When to implement them? iMobility: Future Vision @ ITU: ICT Innovation for Development Countries

  18. Conclusion The decisions of what to deploy next may not follow a priority criteria but available budget. Hence, the question is: How to make the most of the current infrastructure? And Where to invest to achieve harmonization and return on investment? iMobility: Future Vision @ ITU: ICT Innovation for Development Countries

  19. Together we Build The VISION iMobility: Future Vision @ ITU: ICT Innovation for Development Countries

  20. What Next?Workshop - Intelligent Mobility : FutureVision in ArabiaPlanning for the futureBuilding the Knowledge BaseEnabling the provision of Sustainability through Urban & Transport planningfor Transport Networks with greater efficiency, to serve economic growth & prosperity - Seamless Travel Looking for Sponsors & Collaborators.

Follow our news @ Thank you Our discussion board in LinkedIn with over 760 international members with dedicated subgroup for MENA iMobility Teams: Research and Implementation Roadmap http://www.linkedin.com/groups/IMobility-Future-Vision-2511997/about?trk=anet_ug_grppro http://www.linkedin.com/groups/MENA-iMobility-Teams-Research-Implementation-4206117/about?trk=anet_ug_grppro http://www.hud.ac.uk/imfv/news/ iMobility: Future Vision @ ITU: ICT Innovation for Development Countries

  22. Truly Intelligent Systems – How To? Aim to Change Behaviour (or the way of thinking) not only of end users but all stakeholders by: • Reduce the need for Mobility • Cost Saving by Harmonised Deployment Future Vision > Strategy > Polices & Guidelines > Planning > Design >Deployment > Monitoring > On-Going Evaluation • Identifying & Clarifying Benefits to Users (travellers & operators..) • Intelligent Mobility Infrastructure (funding) • Knowledge Transfer for exampleby • Adequate training for systems operators …. • Bridging The Gap between Research, Business and Industrial worlds iMobility: Future Vision @ ITU: ICT Innovation for Development Countries
