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.

Smart city 2020…

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.”

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.

Some basic definitions

InteroperabilityFunctional 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 StandardSpecifications describing 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…


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 seamless interaction across organizational boundaries and thus realize networked organizations.


Your ICT systems cartography


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 open

published 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

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


Today’s Architectures of Supervision Systems

Highly modular Modifying any module does not impact the others

Silo approach: one application for each function

Cons Pros

No integrated MMI Human based global situation awareness

Solution based on various protocols Many servers needed

SCADA ATS TicketingPublic

InformationAccess Control

VideoManagement

Voice & Data


Today’s Limitations of Supervision Systems

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

Operators training not realistic enough

Complex lifecycle management of the system

Manual actions required to follow paper procedures Risk of not following correctly the procedure, problems

of coordination between operators, …

The simulation does not enable to simulate complex incidents


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
