CASA Seminar  by Omid Shiraji on ‘Education to Smart cities’ dated 13th march 2019

The decision making process involves technology  from service delivery - run - business as usual - change and solutions - business management
Bits under these bucket with roles and skills inside the vision and strategy and staff resource planning. What does a CIO do? Understand the online app and use it. Human social impact is massive and it was build overnight as the technology was there to identifying and validating the details for better followup and building assistance for migration and better evacuation.

Future Transport in cities

Prof Antony G.O. Yeh Future Transport in cities and GIS - the university of hong kong organise by CASA UCL lunch hour lecture

GIS research Centre - Learn the book - be proactive 

Future smart cities - smart mobility and need off GIS to support the mobility.
Sustainable cities - Ecology cities. In 1985 - from the computer -LAN. In hong kong it started with electric about the mobility leading to digital cities. Ubiquitous - Government, companies and people with AI and AV- Autonomous vehicle with 5G technology. Induction loop traffic sensors used to collect the data. Sensors in Smart surveillance. Smart lamp post- placed at Singapore. Angle difference method for vehicle navigation in multilevel road networks for automatic calibration  for lowest cost portable inclinometer. China Smart door plate 2016 is launched to check the route for the location.

Conditional automation and full automation for the high degree of Automation of vehicles. Building information modelling - BIM- need to submit for the project for approval to get the navigation line in future which is similar to 3D GIS model. Navigation system will have limitation for the future transport. Smart address System, Integration of GIS and BIM, High definition map got Autonomous Vehicle and Automatic extraction, generation and updating of vehicle and pedestrian navigation path for smart city. Article on Hierarchical pattern for traffic mobility road structure. Indoor pedestrian navigation system in BIM model for the data source. Work in progress for the Outdoor pedestrian navigation in smart travel. High definition map for standard definition. Data privacy needs to be major point of technology discussion and key impact of AI and IOT. HSGNG Model - Hybrid Skeleton Grid navigation graph Model. This model have six elements - indoor open space, indoor closed space regions, 8-neighbour grid graph, skeleton graph, private space or indoor opening region and connection edge of indoor open/closed space.

Energy Innovators with Data Science optimisation

UCL Energy Innovators dated 12th march 2019 at Central House by Dr Robyn  Lucas - head of Data science from Open Energi, London
Flexibility market company and use of Data science at the core. Open Energy is managed distributed energy to radically reduce electrical cost and provide flexible capacity with 100 % renewable energy system. Dynamic, Demand connects, aggregates and optimised distributed energy costs. The timeline demands a great portfolio with sectors and its batteries. The visualisation platform in the new market , carbon accounting and optimisation. The exciting project being the UK first football stadium used with battery of energy innovators.  There is a demand of flexibility to access the process parameters by asset characteristics. Data quality, Data engineering, data analysis and others. Price Arbitrage- trains, wholesale and imbalance. Ancillary services.  Statistic and data analytics is required for energy trading. Asset and site inputs which maximise the value to provide an accurate inputs on the site and asset.

Planning Spatial Inequality

UCL the Bartlett CASA- Friday Talk by Dr.Meirav Aharon Gutman, Faculty of Architecture and Town planning, Technion

Topic: Social Topography: Learning and planning spatial inequality through 3D dynamic model.

She provided a detail presentation on 3D visual models with help of Arc GIS and other geography software to pleasing the spatial inequality with 3D visual models.
Based on the work of Gaston Bardet, a french city planner and Pierre Bourdie defined socialogy as Science of Social topography.

She explained the development and ability to engage in the quantitative study of spatial analysis  and its implication for the issue of crime as an example. at the same time she also explained the ability for this study by means of experience of knowledge and moved it in 3D models.
