 New Cities - “Urban Fabric” – Neighborhoods  Accessibility Issues

 Emerging technologies –  Fiber Optics - Municipal Broadband  Smart Cities - Street lights, Signals, Infrastructure

 The Real Impact of Driverless Cars

 Neighborhoods – parking – congestion – plans  Reliance on Telecommunications & Technology

 What can you do today to position for the future?

RE-PURPOSING INFRASTRUCTURE

  • Bits, Bytes & Gigabits

“SMART CITIES”

Interconnecting everything: Streetlights Signals Re-purposing infrastructure Bits, Bytes & Gigabits FINDING & DEFINING OUR FUTURE

Technology Advancements

Wireless, coax, copper wires and fiber

  • Coax & wire systems: ~ 20-40 mbps
  • 1 fiber strand: 1,000+ mbps (virtually “unlimited”)
  • 2003: a few traffic signals on one strand –
  • Now ~ 5,000 households on one strand
  • 500+ Cities are now investing in broadband
  • Longmont ~ $1 Million / month in new revenue!

TELECOM – 101 Terminology & TECHNOLOGY

2015: FCC redefined “Broadband” - 25 DOWN & 3 UP About half of us don’t have “broadband” today

  • Gigabit Cities: Approximately 100
  • Austin, K.C.
  • Chattanooga
  • Santa Monica

1,000 DOWN and 1,000 UP

  • 30x the speed
  • Only $50-$70/month
slide-11

So Cal Edison ~$12/month Electricity < $2/month LED’s – reduce power expenses by 50%+ But – power often < 20% of total expenses Cities now municipalizing lighting,

Paying separately for energy Up-front capital and conversion costs

  • R.O.I.s ~ 5-10 years

MILLIONS in cost savings possible – Re-purposing street lights: Conduit More Valuable! Traffic signals, utilities and public broadband!

Street lighting & FREE WiFi

  • Do you own pipes in the ground?
  • Do you control how they are placed?
  • NEW – Fiber Optics in Electrical

Conduits!

  • Important to understand:
  • Complex inter-relationships
  • Revenue opportunities
  • How the commercial

“fiber game” is really played

  • What’s really valuable, what’s not

Repurposing Your Infrastructure

slide-14
SLIDE 14

Community Fiber – You ARE Already Well Positioned!

  • Plenty of existing public fiber
  • SCADA - Utility Control Systems
  • Intelligent Transportation Systems
  • AMR/AMI - Automatic Meter Reading
  • Street Lights
  • Schools, hospitals, public safety
  • Benefit
  • Focus on building infrastructure
  • Low cost entry point - “piggybacking”
  • How
  • Develop “Fiber Friendly Policies”
  • Innovative Permitting, IGA’s and P3’s
  • Grant & Other funding sources

“IoT – Internet of Things”

Everything is on line (yes) But now – Every THING is on line

The Future will be Mobile and shared…

Personal Rapid Transit (PRT)

Driverless vehicles on a guideway One to four seated passengers plus luggage Direct origin to destination service – no stops On demand – not scheduled, very short headways

Emerging Global Trends High-Tech Power Systems:

 7 MILES, 22 mph, 15 lbs  Remember that LAST ½ Mile Problem?  Add it to ANYTHING  But – Seniors, Disabled too - ??

Personal Micro Transportation

NEW TERMS: MicroTransit HyperLocal Last ½ Mile – Done.

So – WHAT’s the BIG DEAL? Transit – 5% (maybe) Carpooling – 5 % (maybe) Telecommuting – 10-20% (maybe) Driverless Capacity – 300 (yes) 300%

slide-22
SLIDE 22

So – WHAT’s the BIG DEAL?

Cost per mile – DROPS

60 cents – 30 cents (2 pax) Connecting “Hubs” (think: airlines) Last ½ mile “micro transit”

Disadvantaged – CHEAP mobility! Will we need busses anymore?

slide-23
SLIDE 23

Has This Ever Happened Before - ?

slide-24
SLIDE 24

24

Are just roads affected? Quick “DEEP DIVE:” PARKING GARAGES ~50% increase in capacity

Q: Who wants to pay for parking when you can send your car to run an errand for you: OR - Park itself in the neighborhood OR - Go for a joyride – CLOG the FREEWAY(?)

Can you re-use the garage? Low ceilings, slanted floors

Final Thoughts – Post-Driverless Cars

  • URBAN FABRIC -– people can ride to work and do work
  • INCREASE sprawl (?)
  • Think: texting while NOT driving the car
  • You can live MUCH further away – ouch!
  • % of Single Occupant Vehicles (SOV’s) –
  • Today ~ 90% , TOMORROW – 50, 60, 90%?
  • Crucial: Totally Managed Systems: Telecom
  • 20 years from now = driverless cars @50%? 60%? 90%?
  • Q: Your 2030+ plans must include autonomous vehicles!
  • Streets, Parking, Infrastructure – new specs?!?!
  • PLAN for their reuse - since many can’t be converted
slide-26

Q: WHICH Future would you like?

 10% Driverless – 2025 80% Driverless – 2040

TODAY’S FUTURE

???

TOMORROW’s FUTURE

slide-27
SLIDE 27

Final Thoughts – Post Driverless Cars

 With autonomous cars –

  • Send your car home instead of paying for parking!
  • Are smart cars good for drunk drivers - ?
  • What about city revenue drops from no speeding tickets?
  • Might this be the end of mass transit as we know it?
  • Highways essentially become “train tracks” - BRT’s

 With reduced accidents –

  • Is there a reduced need for ambulances, fire stations
  • What Else – DON’T WE KNOW?

The FUTURE is – Not what it “used to be”

PS - It arrives tomorrow! Q: How’s your schedule?
