1. Towards smart cities… Dr. Serge DRUAIS

2. Agenda • You have said smart Cities? • Moving to a new architecture • Thales activities in the field • MAESTRO: Extended Supervision • The vision we pursue is a city where citizens feel comfortable living their life, moving, communicating, making use of services from everywhere (home, travelling, mobile,…) and contributing themselves to the city welfare. Dongtan, China Smart City

3. Smart city 2020… Our cities are fast transforming into artificial ecosystems of interconnected, interdependent intelligent digital “organisms” • Emerging technologies (ICT) are poised to reshape our urban environmentsWilliam J. Mitchell (MIT, smart city Lab) “Our cities are fast transforming into artificial ecosystems of interconnected, interdependent intelligent digital organisms. This is the fundamentally new technological condition confronting architects and product designers in the twenty-first century.”

4. Helsinki: Smart City & City 2.0 • We are going to need new ways to address and to solve global problems, but our connectivity will bring us tools unimaginable even just a few years ago. • Our challenge, our generation's unique challenge, is learning to live peacefully and sustainably in an extraordinarily crowded world.

5. Shanghai Hongqiao Transportation Hub • Future biggest multi modal transportation Hub of China (and Asia)

6. Smart city: Main functional Architecture The smart city is the Information & communication Infrastructure • e-Tourism web 2.0 approach • User Generated Contents • Context Awareness Info Push • Energy Management • E-learning • Knowledge Management • Role gaming E-learning Tourism Ambient Energy Homeland Security • Video surveillance • Sensor networks integration • Video semantic capabilities Smart City • Traffic information • Fleet management • Access Control • Road Charging • Emergency Call • Mobile Payments • Parking Management • Pay As You Drive • City Logistics • Vehicle Tracking • Work Force Managem. • Electronic Patient Record • Therapy management • Biomedical parameters monitoring • Second Opinion Management • Pharmaceutical risk mgmt IntelligentTransportationSystems e-Health WSN Management platform • ICT platform for Wireless Sensor Networks management and control

7. Smart City: Main challenges • Smart cities • Extended communication (Home, travels, WIFI, G3….) for users and city operators • Mobility (Public Transport and virtual collaboration) • Transportation • Intelligence Transportation systems • Inter modality – new added value services for users (attractively) • Environment • Energy saving – C02 reduction • Impact on systems (Physical and IT) • Exchange of data • Open Architecture (platform) • Interoperability • Extended supervision capabilities • Complexity management

8. Some basic definitions Interoperability • Functional ability of two or more systems to interact or to be used easily or automatically in combination with each other • A needed quality in the ICT-embedded industries • Provides connectivity between hardware or software and between entities (government/business/citizens) • Increases flexibility and agility, reduces costs and implementation time Open Standard • Specificationsdescribing program or device characteristics, available to the technical community and vetted through open process like : W3C (World Wide Web Consortium), OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards) WS-I (Web Services-Interoperability Organization), OMG…

9. Today Business goals through ICT • Increasing collaboration within and among enterprises and governmental bodies during their entire product and service provision life cycle is a global trend. • Most of these organizations are transforming themselves into "networked organizations". • These new collaboration concepts are especially relevant for SMEs. • Related IT systems and applications need to be interoperable in order to achieve seamlessinteraction across organizational boundaries and thus realize networked organizations.

11. THALES ICT policy : Towards Open System Open Systems • Ensure flexibility & Interoperability • Avoid vendor lock-in / Drive cost effectiveness • Ensure future access to information • Maximize freedom of action Open standards • Promoting interoperability by using openpublished specifications for API's, protocols and data and file formats Open architecture • Building loosely coupled, flexible reconfigurable solutions Open Source Software • Promotes standards • Leverages community development and collaborative innovation OPEN SYSTEMS

12.

13. Thales Civil Supervision Activities Integrated Communication and Supervision Systems for Transport • Urban transport (metro, trams, Automated People Movers) • Main Line Rail • Tunnels, Car parks Critical Infrastructures Protection • Buildings (Museums, airports, industrial plants, …) • Oil & Gas plants • City centres (urban safety) Energy Transportation • Oil & Gas transportation • Electricity transportation • Water distribution

14. Today’s Architectures of Supervision Systems Silo approach: one application for each function • Cons Access Control Video Management Voice & Data ATS Ticketing SCADA Public Information Pros • Highly modular  Modifying any module does not impact the others • No integrated MMI  Human based global situation awareness • Solution based on various protocols • Many servers needed

15. Today’s Limitations of Supervision Systems Complex lifecycle management of the system • Silo architecture : many different applications to maintain and many interfaces to manage • Super-SCADA : high risk of regression due to the complexity of the software. Lack of decision support when alarms occur • Manual actions required to follow paper procedures • Risk of not following correctly the procedure, problems of coordination between operators, … Operators training not realistic enough • The simulation does not enable to simulate complex incidents

16. M.A.E.S.TR.O* Main Objectives Provide a system both modular and integrated • Integrate any application (Thales, legacy or 3rd party applications) and control them by an integrated MMI • Easily replace any application without impacting the others • Modify interfaces between the applications without modifying the applications themselves • Provide as much as possible automated system response in case of specific incidents Provide Training & Simulation Capabilities • Take benefits of Thales expertise in Training & Simulation for transport, energy, and military domains (3D synthetic environment, human behaviour modelling, operational & supervisory training, exercise definition & development,…) * Modular Architecture for Energy Security and TRansport Operators
