New technologies : Beziers, to future “smart city” ? Free Afternoon

Y assine Haddab, head of the department for Networks and Telecoms at the IUT of Béziers, returned to the concept of “smart City”, that the district authority intends to apply in the territory.

what is a “smart city” ?

The “smart city”, that is the connected city of the future that uses new technology to improve its operation. Nearly 75 % of the world’s population will be urban dwellers by 2050, cities will seek from now on to maximize their access to resources or services which could soon be saturated. The "smart city" should contribute to a better management of flows. Whether the energy flows (electricity, gas, water…) but also the flow of traffic. Concretely, it would mean placing, in different parts of the city, of small sensors able to collect information or to act in a given area. Their number will vary according to the area of the city, but also of the fineness of the expected information and of the budget.

digit

1,5
It is, in billion of dollars, what should be the market of the "smart city" by 2020, according to a study by consulting firm Frost & Sullivan. Thanks to the development of smart grids, the energy is "intelligent" would be a quarter of this new market. France already has a score of smart cities, half of which displays less than 250 000 inhabitants.

“The idea is also to improve the comfort of city dwellers.”

Each sensor transmits its information, local to a server, which stores it automatically in a computer database. This collective step would enable access, in real time, for an overall view taking into account not only the environment, but also its interactions. We could thus reduce the energy consumption by optimizing the public lighting, for example. Sensors would be placed in the streets, that does not explain that the approach of a passer-by or as a function of the natural lighting. It could also reduce pollution by helping drivers to find, thanks to a geolocation system, the closest place more quickly. Or improve the garbage collection by setting the optimal route of dumpsters, which might ignore then the streets empty trash cans. The idea is also to improve the comfort of city dwellers.

The citizen has a role to play in this data collection ?

He could join him-even to the extent of its environment, with its smartphone. These are so many sensors already ready. With that, one could, for example, to measure and transmit the intensity of the surrounding noise in order to sketch out a map of noise pollution in urban… But the idea that each individual participates in the scheme is illusory. And this is not necessary.

The data collected must be accessible to citizens ?

the case of public data, it should ideally enable them to have access to it. Would it be only to inform and raise awareness. But it depends on the nature of the information. One can imagine that those related to the environment are released to the public. But still… The population may panic in the face of the raw data indicating a peak of pollution or seismic information. To the extent that people are not specialists. Will they be able to interpret this information ? It is necessary to know how to manage and filter the influx of data. It is also a question of legislation and city policy. It is up to the community to designate the rights holders. Whether it’s City employees, businesses if the management is outsourced, or even an algorithm…

is it Necessary to protect these data in this case ?

And how ? The data today, it is the sinews of war. It can be used to improve the lives of the population, but it can also become a means of surveillance. Some of the information is less trivial than it seems, so it’s important to accompany all of the technical process in order to ensure that it is not a normal use, even if we can never guarantee total security. The data can be stored in the server itself, but it also requires backups. Either local, or hosted at a variety of places, such as data centers. These digital safes allow you to relocate the data and protect it in the event of a natural disaster, for example… Against hacking attempts, we can also use the encryption.

The smart city allows a management quasi-automated of the city. Is it risk-free ?

No. The aim is to move towards the optimum, and this requires a rigorous management of things. But it is necessary to ensure that the individual remains at the heart of the system. They could benefit from these data and that the process is transparent. It would lead, if not to the digitization of life. It would be tragic.

The Chipboard plank on the subject

The district authority does not hide its interest in the smart city. The community plans to install lighting systems and parking smart in order to achieve energy savings and facilitate the life of the city dweller. A pass Agglo, allowing a single access to various community services (bus, swimming pool, media library…) is also on the study. “It is still pre-projects, insists Alain Biola, associate vice-president, digital. Before you can put these devices in place, it is necessary that the optical fiber is installed on the whole territory. This should be the case by 2020. Difficult to offer services connected without a network of quality”. In the same year, a data center storage of the data collected, carried out by the company biterroise Netiwan, should also see the light of day on the business park of Mazeran. Because the smart city is also a way for cities to “develop a new digital economy on the territory,” says Alain Biola.

And at the IUT of Béziers…

This year, students of the IUT start working on a new project the establishment of a platform of connected objects. Credited for 42 000 € by the State, under programmes of investment for the future, this structure should allow to collect, and then process, various data of the territory biterrois. Once the device is installed, the IUT will open up to communities to propose concrete applications. Interested, the district authority has already planned to meet with the team in charge of the project.

The Frankfurt book Fair, at the time of the new technologies – ladepeche.fr

(AFP) – virtual Reality applied to art, interactive classroom, and 3D printing: the Frankfurt book Fair, the largest literary salon in the world, dedicates this year a wide space to the new technologies, called to revolutionize the world of publishing.

To the organizers of the Fair, which takes place from 19 to 23 October, the aim is to explore the links between the arts and technology to allow any 275.000 visitors expected to dive into worlds that are accessible so far only for reading.

And the artist book taiwan-Jimmy Liao’s “All my world is you” (My world is you) must take life when his own player wearing virtual reality goggles. These will allow him to interact with the heroine of the book, a mysterious young girl that will make you smile.

- Explore

The guests of honor of this edition of 2016 Flanders and the netherlands, have created their own experiences of this type. One of them will allow the visitor to live in the skin of a girl or his father after the death of a member of their family.

“The literature does not exist on the pages of a book,” says Suzanne Meeuwissen from the Dutch Foundation for literature, taking as an example the Nobel prize in the field rewarding the singer Bob Dylan.

virtual reality is a new form of expression “for the writers and artists who hunger to explore this new terrain is somewhat familiar,” noted Ms. Meeuwissen.

The publishers specialized in education bet also on the new technologies, whether it’s the applications that make textbooks interactive, or 3D printing, for example, to reproduce the organs in biology class.

visitors will also be able to observe a “classroom of the future” where students and teachers experiment with different innovations for the educational purpose.

The question of whether these new ideas will be generating revenue for the publishing world will also be at the heart of professional meetings during the Fair.

But already, these innovative ideas can arouse both curiosity and hopes that the space, which is dedicated this year as “a fair within the fair” called “the Arts.”

The vice-president of the salon, Holger Volland, notes that the Frankfurt Fair has always been based on “the content regardless of the format,” and that “the Arts” aims to focus on “new business models and synergies between arts and technology”.

- Rembrandt 3.0 -

Artists, architects, and museum representatives from around the world will discuss so of the challenges and opportunities of digital. And some of the concrete experiences will be presented.

One of the flagship projects that will be unveiled at Frankfurt is that of a Dutch team. With the help of artificial intelligence and a 3D printer, they have created a “new” work by Rembrandt, based on an algorithm which calculated the features of the subjects of the great works of the great master of the Seventeenth century.

of course, the editing in the classical sense of the term will not be in rest during the fair with nearly 7,000 exhibitors from over 100 countries will showcase thousands of new books covering a multitude of genre.

Among the big names expected this year, the contemporary artist, British David Hockney will present a book giant series limited tracing on 500 pages of his work. It will sell for 2,000 euros and there will be as well as his famous the swimming pools of the 1960′s that its graphics work, latest on tablet.

The book fair, old 500 years and who has seen the light of day shortly after the invention of the printing press by Gutenberg, will also pass into its corridors of the king of the netherlands, Willem-Alexander, as well as the royal couple of Belgium, Philippe and Mathilde.

These crowned heads will inaugurate on Tuesday, on the eve of the official opening, the flag of the flemish and Dutch.

The world economic Forum tackles impact of new … – The Echoes



California recently eased its regulations concerning the circulation test of autonomous vehicles. Since a few days, no need of driver human to oversee the artificial intelligence behind the wheel. The legislation, however, remains binding and has been denounced by a senior executive of Toyota Motor North America. How to find the right environment to accommodate new technologies and to protect citizens without slowing the progress ? It is to provide answers to this question that the world economic Forum opens a research centre in California.

The objective of this institution, which organizes every year the Davos summit, is to study the problems, ethical, legal and social, posed by new technologies such as artificial intelligence, drones military, 3D printing, coins, digital… It will bring together industry experts, members of government and academics in its “Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution”, one of the cyberintelligence, digital, or robotics.

A platform for dialogue and exchange

The institute will be installed in the vicinity of the park Presidio in San Francisco, equidistant from Europe, Asia and South America. But also closer to the innovation. The centre is conceived as a platform of exchange and dialogue, sharing of ideas and experiences, but also of actions. Start-ups, investors and providers of risk capital (Venture capitalists) in the region will be invited to participate to enable members of the centre to anticipate the consequences of technology on society. The world economic Forum fears such as increased automation in some sectors such as mobility threatens millions of jobs.

This could be part of the ten projects on which floor the sixty experts who will be hired full-time under the direction of Murat Sonmez, an entrepreneur from Silicon Valley. Some may see this initiative as the counterpart of that carried out by the private actors of the Tech around the artificial intelligence.

The vidéoverbalisation which will be introduced in January 2017, as announced by the mayor yesterday, is a first step, prior to the arrival of new technologies on the network cameras toulousaines.

Toulouse will have to do : park in double file, on a sidewalk, a bike lane, a bus lane or in the new pedestrian streets in the historic centre can automatically, and more quickly than today, become synonymous with fine. Yesterday, Jean-Luc Moudenc, the mayor, and Olivier Arsac, the elected official in charge of prevention and security, have formalized the adoption of video surveillance, which will be voted on in the municipal council of the 21 October (our edition of Thursday). Since the PC video of the city police, an officer sworn to be able to see, by the cameras for parking offences. If the vehicle has not moved at the end of 3 minutes, according to the tolerance period, or 20 minutes on an area of delivery (they are not reserved to professionals), the operator is the registration and shall draw up a minutes which shall be sent by mail to the holder of the grey card.

The new system will be put in place in early 2017, only in the downtown, boulevards included, and the Saint-Cyprien old, with the inside of the aisles Charles-de-Fitte. It will work 24 hours on 24, seven days a week. Notice to night owls who park rue Saint-Rome, for example. This novelty is not the non-payment of timestamps. “We are targeting practices, make it difficult to Toulouse in order to highlight the framework of life,” said the mayor.

With this new feature, 204 cameras now in service on the 350 planned by the end of 2017, will be used solely to the fight against crime. And gradually, the network video surveillance toulouse will become, with new tools, one of the most developed of France.

Toulouse is testing software artificial intelligence that will enable cameras to detect only a range of situations : a gathering, a crowd movement, a vehicle stationary in front of a sensitive site, etc new tools for other uses, in connection with the security, in order also to anticipate a possible problem. The tests were conducted and “it works”, observes Olivier Arsac. The budget trade-offs remain to be done but, if the Capitol decides to do, these programs can become a reality “in six months”. “The system on which we work do not yet exist in France”, advance the elect. Other cities, such as Nice, Lyon and Paris are working on it.

The number : 204

cameras >The network from toulouse. To this day, according to the last balance sheet of the state Capitol, 204 video surveillance cameras have been implanted in the streets of Toulouse, mainly in the cbd as well. The goal is 350 by the end of 2017.

Aviation: ATCT team in new technologies to … – kapitalis


atct

The Aviation Training Center of Tunisia (ATCT) has entered into a service contract with the Lithuanian company of new technologies MOMook.

According to the terms of this agreement covering a period of two years, MOMook will provide the tunisian Center of training pilots for line of solutions for the management planning of the teaching, the syllabus, exams, assessment reports and follow-up of learners, and maintenance of warehouses and simulators of the ATCT.

on the occasion of the signature of this convention, Mohamed Mzah, general director of the ATCT, said: “We are entering a new stage of development of our centre, where the flexibility, connectivity, automation and real-time information will play a role of great importance. The attitude of the customers has also changed significantly in this digital era. We have already found that our students are expressing the desire to be able to plan their own training sessions, they want to have direct access to our training programs, at any time and in any place, and they want to obtain tailor-made solutions and adapted. There are so many things that have changed and that we must take into account.”

Egle Vaitkeviciute, Ceo of the MOMook, based in Vilnius, has added that”given that the pilot training has reached a level of unprecedented complexity, a training center such that the ATCT is in the requirement to use management tools more and more sophisticated. It became clear, for example, that applications, such as Microsoft Excel are less efficient and less reliable. Obviously, for companies who wish to have means enabling them to better manage their daily operations, to meet the specific needs of their customers with the speed required or to have the ability to ensure the continuity of the flow of work of their employees, new software solutions are needed.”

The new technologies represent a chance for … – release


Morocco
newly elected to the Board
of administration of the UPU at the 26èmeCongrès universal postal
in Istanbul

“The advent of modern technologies of information and communication has seen the emergence of new consumers, who are no longer satisfied only on home delivery, but also want to have services delivered when and where they need it,” said the director general of the universal postal Union (UPU), Bishar A. Hussein.
For the latter, “this new environment represents an opportunity for positions to become even more relevant in the future, as trusted intermediaries and carriers to connect the governments, citizens, businesses and territories”,-he said.
But, to stay relevant to its customers, the post office has to continually reform itself and find new opportunities to go beyond the simple delivery to the home customers, said the boss of this un institution.
In a message issued on the occasion of the world Day of the post, celebrated on 9 October each year, Bishar A. Hussein has called to ” work towards the creation of a postal network where the innovation is shared, promoted and implemented; where the postal networks are integrated into the scales of international, regional and national; and where the post is seen as an accelerator of inclusive development by governments, partners for development and international organizations “.

What changes will produce the new technologies on the … – NRJ

new technologies are changing a large number of trades. It is therefore not surprising that the vocational training suffer the consequences. Yes, but how is it transformed ? The instructor’s role is going to disappear in favor of robots and MOOCs ?

The new technologies will replace humans, including in the training ? Nothing is less sure. Of course, some employees prefer MOOCs (the course in video available free online), training irl (= in real life). And if the vocational training (as it relates to students or employees) must adapt to changing growing digital, a human presence remains indispensable. The relationship of learner-teacher remains at the heart of the process.

the role of The trainer is evolving

This is not because new processes are emerging that the role of the teacher should disappear. It remains always present, but its function is changing. If students of the industry or of wood, for example, begin to have recourse to virtual reality simulators for cause (as that of Wood-Ed Factory, created by Mimbus), they cannot for all that go to the trainer. Here, it becomes coach : it guides the students and handling technologies. A human presence on the ground remains of the utmost importance.

In a note published on the Blog of the professional training and continuing education, Gregory Gallic writes that the teacher must now be a true ” Digital Worker “. In summary, it must be unbeatable on the social networks, the use of collaborative platforms, learning continuously, and he must also accommodate permanent changes in the digital world. Finally, he must show humility and admit that, sometimes, the learners will be better informed than he was.

according to Gregory Gallic, it is necessary that the teacher brings together a community, a network : the learning that it provides begins nor ends in the only room of training. Therefore, it must be available. The training itself is changing : it must be attractive, to use some digital tools to be more modern and adapt to each case.

to Simulate professional situations thanks to new technologies

new technologies are currently being tested within the training varied. Thus, students who wish to specialize in the trade can to simulate a year of sales in virtual reality. This process is due to the publisher of simulators, Serious Factory and the ORT (an NGO specializing in vocational education and training). The principle is simple : using a headset, the student dialog with an “avatar-client” virtual one that reacts to his voice. The learner must respond to requests with accurate and realistic of his interlocutor. Goal for the future employees : develop their skills in customer relationship. But it is actually a trainer that guide them in this learning.

And the retail sector is not the only one to be the testing ground of this education 2.0. The industry is also concerned, as we have said. Some students were able to use a simulator learning of spray paint (SimSpray, designed by the company Mimbus) or a tool to learn the gestures of the welder (Wave NG, designed by the same company).

In another register, the Catholic University of Lille has set up trials of training, the following the model of the LearningLab, inspired by startups in the us. There, technological devices are assigned to students, who can develop graphics, and share documents via the collaborative platforms. If they work, these devices are, moreover, intended to be used in the context of training of employees. You see, if the technologies are required to modify the operation of the learning, they are tools. Most of the training, whether students or employees, is played between learner and trainer.
