IBM Smarter Planet Initiative

CUNY 2011


A mandate for change is a mandate for smart.

The world is about to geta whole lot smarter.

CUNY 2011


Our world is becoming

INSTRUMENTED

Our world is becoming

INTERCONNECTED

Virtually all things, processes and waysof working are becoming

INTELLIGENT

Information Management - What is so Smart?

CUNY 2011


The need for progress is clear.

170 billionKilowatt-hours wasted each year by consumers due to insufficient power usage information.

CUNY 2011


Smart Meters using Informix TimeSeries

Digital Environment Home Energy Management System

Governments• Need to reduce emissions• Reduce energy reliance

Consumers• Reduce energy costs

Utility companies• Analyze usage patterns• Increase profits• Reduce emissions

"With help from the IBM Hursley team, we quickly found that Informix TimeSeries could deliver spectacular results… You don’t need to understand the technical details – the point is that suddenly, energy monitoring for three million homes or more became a practical proposition.” -

Clive Eisen, Chief Technical Officer, Hildebrand

CUNY 2011


Smart Meter using Informix

▪ 3,000,000 Meter Challenge– 3M homes to have Smart Meters

– Up to 26 values recorded (Meter ID, Timestamp, 3 electricity phases, 1 Gas reading, 20 individual electrical sockets)

– One reading every minute

– High data rate• 60*24 = 1440 readings per day per meter• 50,000 readings per-second

– Large data volume• Approaching 500Gb per day for data

▪ Solution: IBM Informix TimeSeries

CUNY 2011


Smart Metering – Practical Applications

▪ Consumers– 7-year old refrigerator works fine

– Cost to run the old refrigerator? (Ex. £250 a year)

– Cost to run a new energy efficient refrigerator? (Ex. £50 a year)

– Cost of the new refrigerator: £200

– Return on investment in 1 year

▪ Energy Companies– Change billing rates/models to increase profits

– Reduce emissions

▪ Government– Reduce energy consumption


CUNY 2011


The need for progress is clear.

Annual impact of congested roadways in the European Union

€100 billion lost due to traffic congestion

CUNY 2011


"We needed to manage data from up to 100,000 vehicles about driving speeds on 3.5 million road segments at all times of day - this was a huge data challenge, and one that was likely to increase…. Informix came out above all other leading solutions for its performance, scalability and reliability.”

Jon Tasker - Project Manager, Trafficmaster

What’s smart?• Real-time vehicle tracking• Real-time traffic prediction• Efficient resource management

Smarter Business Outcomes• 30% less fuel consumption• Reduced overtime by 15%• Less noise pollution• Lower carbon emissions

Smart Traffic using IBM InformixTrafficmaster delivers smarter navigation that can reduce

fuel consumption by 30%

CUNY 2011


Smart Traffic using IBM Informix

▪ The Need– Facilitate “intelligent driving”

– Decipher data from 80,000 vehicles and 7,500 cameras/sensors

– Realtime model for flow of vehicles

▪ The Solution– Find most efficient routes

– Allow businesses to track fleet

– Locate stolen vehicles


– Provide accurate ETAs

Finds the quickest route between two points

CUNY 2011


Smarter Railroad using Informix (Konkan Railways)

▪ Manage timely operation of the platform lights▪ Timely air-circulation in long tunnels▪ Web-based train location system▪ Manage train operations and ticketing

operations

Result▪ Cut down redundant manual procedures▪ Improve operating efficiency▪ Cut energy costs by 20%

"With the Railway Application Package system running on IBM software, Konkan Railway has significantly improved its ability to analyze, maintain and present data, helping to reduce the likelihood of passenger delays and cultivating better decision-making. Additionally, by automating the light-switching at stations with train arrival-departures, the system has helped cut such energy costs by approximately 20 percent” -

Vijay Devnath, chief manager (IT), Konkan Railway

CUNY 2011


Smarter Transit system using Informix and DB2

▪ The Need– 2,000+ buses, tens of thousands of passengers per

day

– Need best routes for changing road conditions

– Proactively communicate to passengers

▪ The Solution– GPS in buses, cameras, sensors in turnstiles

– Determine the most fuel efficient route

– Enable identify and prosecute fare evaders

– Provide passengers with real time information about delays and ETAs

– Route optimization reduced cost by 30%

"Our transportation network is the lifeblood of our city. We now have the real insight we need to create the most efficient system possible so we can serve the people and create a city that is ready for the future.”

CUNY 2011


Smart Healthcare using Informix and WebSphere

▪ The Need (Croatian Public Institute of Health Care)– Paper-based process is inefficient

– More efficient way to gather and analyze various samples

– React faster to public health problems

▪ The Solution– Electronic processing through a central database

– Faster communications with public health organizations

– Enable timely and precise product recalls in case of emergencies

– Provide traceability and instant auditability

– Analyze 50-60% more samples

“We have a major responsibility to safeguard the health of Croatian citizens. This solution helps us to meet that challenge and to keep ahead of the curve.”

CUNY 2011


Smart Government using Informix

▪ The Need– Reduce cost of tax collection

– Electronic tax filing to avoid travel to physical locations

▪ The Solution– Unify diverse data sources

– Cities across the state are becoming interconnected

– Citizens can access government services using computers, kiosks and mobile devices

– Using the same infrastructure additional services are provided by different entities like tourism and education

“By integrating agency services using a single SOA-based framework, IBM has helped us significantly improve citizens’ access to services, decrease infrastructure costs and reduce our environmental impact. We believe this will soon become the model for other states across our country.” – City Representative

Transforming citizen services with smarter government
