SMART CITIES AND MOBILITY

SMART – CITY:A POSSIBLE DEFINITION

Smart Cities can be identified (and ranked) along six main axes or dimensions.

These axes are:

smart economy;

smart mobility;

smart energy & environment;

smart people;

smart living;

smart governance.

These six axes connect with traditional regional and neoclassical theories of urban growth and development. In particular, the axes are based - respectively - on theories of regional competitiveness, transport and ICT economics, natural resources, human and social capital, quality of life, and participation of citizens in the governance of cities.

A city can be defined as ‘smart’ when investments in human and social capital and traditional (transport) and modern (ICT) communication infrastructure fuel sustainable economic development and a high quality of life, with a wise management of natural resources, through participatory governance.

EUROPEAN ENERGY STRATEGY

The set plan is a strategic plan to accelerate the development and deployment of cost-effective low carbon technologies. This plan comprises measures relating to planning, implementation, resources and international cooperation in the field of energy technology.

This Initiative will support cities and regions in taking ambitious and pioneering measures to progress by 2020 towards a 40% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through sustainable useand production of energy. This will require systemic approaches and organizational innovation, encompassing energy efficiency, low carbon technologies and the smart management of supply and demand. In particular, measures on buildings, local energy networks and transport would be the main components of the Initiative.

Among the specific Objectives in SET PLAN for smart-cities we would like to cite:

Transport 10 – 20 testing and deployment programmes will be implemented for low carbon public and individual transportSustainable mobility (advanced smart public transport, intelligent traffic management and congestion avoidance, demand management, information and communication, ….).

Buildings refurbishmentSmart energy management systemsSmart lighting (in particular solid state lighting for street and indoor), equipment (e.g. motor systems)

SET-PLAN EUROPEAN INITIATIVE ON SMART CITIES

Short HistoryThe Smart Cities Initiative was proposed and addedto the other 6 European Industrial Initiatives of theSET Plan at the request of the European Parliamentand Council;

It is part of the Communication on investing in thedevelopment of low carbon technologies adopted bythe Commission in 2009 and endorsed by theCouncil and Parliament in 2010;

It aims to bring the cities at forefront of deployment oflow carbon technologies, to accelerate the marketuptake of the energy efficiency, renewable energysource and energy networks technologies;

The Smart Cities Initiative will focus on facilitating thedeployment of low carbon technologies by combiningtechnologies and intelligence, by integrating the uselow carbon technologies with local needs andfunctions while ensuring an impact on increasedenergy efficiency and environment;

It will build on the work and knowledge gained fromEU funded programmes, such as CONCERTO (22projects involving 58 European communities), andthe Public Private-Partnership in Energy Efficiency inBuildings ("E2B") CIVITAS & URBAN.

60% of EU population lives in urban areas of over 50,000 inhabitants (80% in urban contexts) Europe is characterized by a unique polycentric structure of large, midsize and small cities (apart from Paris and London)

European cities encompass significant disparities in economic and social opportunities, either spatially between neighborhoods or socially between different groups of populationCities consume 75% of the world’s natural resources and produce 75% of its waste

SMART MOBILITY AXIS

CONSIDERATIONS ON MOBILITY TECHNOLOGIES

Smart Cities Initiative objective is to have a “visible impact” in low carbon technologies deployment over the period 2010-2020.

The target seems to be “demonstrative research” since the stress is on technology deployment (maybe a similar approach to Green Cars Initiative demonstration fleet)

The time frame of conventional 7FP project is 4-5 years maximum, therefore the needs of measurable results will require the deployment of market ready technologies

Electric mobility could not be the only solution (even if it is strategic), other technologies should be included in the projects (e.g. CNG, Blend, Poly fuel technologies like tetrafuel,…)Integration Mobility-Infrastructure will must be considered

Smart-cities to be realistic must take into account car-makers vision

Reduce the energy needed by the vehicle during operation

Increase the efficiency of the internal combustion engine

Increase the portion of carbon-neutral content of liquid fuels (bio-fuels)

Replace the energy vector and the energy sources

Electromobility: longer term options to overcome the range limitation

The solution is probably not a further technological evolution of storage systems, but a development of appropriate infrastructures to override weight and cost limits.

Quick-fast charge infrastructure

high power recharging units able to recharge up to 80% ofthe battery State of Charge in not more then 30 minutes(today) - 5 minutes (tomorrow)

Battery swap

complete battery system substitution in 2-3 minutes usingrobotised systems located in the future rechargingstations (standardisation needed)

Electrified road lines (charge while driving)

electric supply systems applied in the main roads tocontinuously transfer electric energy to the vehicles(safety, reliability, low impact and limited cost)

Smart cities and CRF: What’s going on…

• Turin is part of Covenant of Mayor

• The municipality presented (in November 2010) the Turin Action Plan for Energy (TAPE)

• The City presented candidature to become a smart city in series of press conference

• The city is leading a strategic plan in preparation of future Smart cities calls involving main National and local stakeholders

• A first proposal (in partnership with Turin Municipality) has been submitted by CRF under the last ICT – PSP call. The proposal is part of Turin Smart cities strategy.
