Project to build a system that would automatically tax Swedish registered vehicles entering and leaving the city centre between 6.30 and 18.30, Monday to Friday (excluding national holidays). Duration 7 months (January - July 2006) Challenges political sensitivity, public scrutiny, referendum at the end of the trial to decide on whether to implement the congestion tax permanently Results Traffic congestion in Stockholm was reduced by 25%, far above the original target Traffic queuing times fell by up to 50%. Journey times were faster and more predictable Stockholm bus timetables were re-written to take improvements to traffic flow into account Pollution levels in the city fell by between 10% and 15% Confidence in the system was high due to minimal enforcement and administrative errors Scheme was re-launched in August 2007 after the public referendum voted in favour of the system 19. 2008 IBM Corporation Analysing Traffic 20. 2008 IBM Corporation 20 Time to Action Notional Information Supply Chain for Decision-making Transforming the Information Supply Chain to reduce the time to action!

For example, New York City's government spends over $1 billion a year on energy, and is committed to reducing the City government's energy consumption and CO2 emissions by 30% by 2030 (PlaNYC). Buildings emit about 78 percent of the citys GHG emissions. NYC plans to invest, each year, an amount equal to 10% of its energy expenses in energy-saving measures. In order to reduce energy consumption in buildings, one needs to understand patterns of energy usage and heat transfer as well as characteristics of building structures, operations and occupant behaviors that influence energy consumption. i-BEE is physics, statistics and mathematics based building energy analytics that Assess how different energies are used (and GHG is emitted) in different ways Benchmark energy (GHG emission) uses among peer buildings Track energy consumption and its changes due the improvement actions (e.g., retrofits) Forecast future energy consumption (and GHG emission) Simulate impacts of various changes (improvements) on energy consumption and GHG emission Optimize energy consumption, efficiency and GHG emission 45. 2008 IBM Corporation Modeling Approach 46. 2008 IBM Corporation Dashboard Example (Energy Use & Greenhouse Summary, GIS Energy Intensity Map) K-12 Schools 47. 2008 IBM Corporation The Benefit of Analytics Identify anomaly that can lead to failure of equipment and wasted energy, and take corrective actions for faults Statistical Analysis (SPC, CUSUM, Time Series Model, Data Mining..)
