Sidewalk Lab (from Google)
• We’re on the brink of a historic period for cities around the world.
• By 2050, the population in cities will double, intensifying existing
socioeconomic, public health and environmental problems.
• At the same time, innovations in technology can be used to design
communities that are more efficient, responsive and resilient.
• Sidewalk Labs aims to foster the development of technology products,
platforms and infrastructure that help improve life in cities around the world.

Re-programming Mobility … and Travel
• Travel industry = 9,2% of global GDP
• Half is terrestrial, half is digital …
• Technology operates on 2 axis: making things and moving things
14Copyright © William El Kaim 2016
Re-programming: Software is Eating the World
• Value from bits (information content) grows faster
than the value from atoms (the physical product
or human-delivered service)
• Digital capabilities increasingly will determine which
companies create or lose value.
• The “plug and play” nature of digital assets causes
value chains to disaggregate, creating openings for
focused, fast-moving competitors.
• New market entrants often scale up rapidly at lower
cost than legacy players can, and returns may grow
rapidly as more customers join the network.

Re-programming Mobility
• In lieu of large civil infrastructure projects, transportation systems are increasingly
being augmented with a range of information technologies that make them smarter,
safer, more efficient, more integrated.
• Transformation is now being driven by the private sector.
• Companies are investing in infrastructure for mobility on a similar scale, but using very different
technology.
• All but invisible to planners and citizens alike, new communications network are
becoming the most important transportation infrastructure of our era, enabling us to re-
invent the how our roads, transit systems, and freight and logistics networks function.
• The hidden nature of these new mobility infrastructures – tiny devices in our pockets
communicating over invisible radio waves with algorithms running on servers in the
cloud – has conspired to conceal the important public policy and planning issues that
their mass adoption raises.Source: RE-PROGRAMMING MOBILITY, The Digital Transformation of Transportation in the United States, Dr. Anthony Townsend, Senior Research Scientist; Rudin Center for Transportation Policy & Management

Re-programming Mobility
• A large portion of 2020 revenues are likely to come from products and
services that don’t even exist today
• Advances in technology without a change in business model nor traction are
mere productivity gains from the multitude’s standpoint, and are
commoditized in the blink of an eye, preventing the company from
differentiating itself.

4th Digital Revolution: Pulled by Unicorns
• “The Unicorns”, the billion-dollar tech
startup was supposed to be the stuff of
myth said Forbes. Now they seem to be
… everywhere.
• AirBnb, GrabTaxi, SpaceX, Lyft, Uber, to name
a few, are already conquering the world.
• E-Commerce companies are also
entering the travel and transport market
• Amazon and eBay selling hotels, or Alibaba
launching AliTrip
• Giants in Asia are also selling Travel, with a
mobile vision
• Qunar
• Didi Dache taxi hailing service via the WeChat
app

IPITA Vision
• Integrated proactive intermodal travel assistant (IPITA) creates an integrated
tool for selecting, booking and navigating different modes of travel
customized to individual needs, using real-time information and advanced
technology.
• Easy to steer, it uses smart devices or other interfaces such as data glasses
or contact lenses as displays.
• Any changes or disruptions, such as congestion or weather problems, are
directly detected, and alternative modes of travel or rerouting are suggested
in real time.
• All of this is provided by one interface that can also purchase a ticket for all
the transportation required.

Mobility Ecosystem requires Big Data
• The shift from a world of static reporting (aggregated data on cubes) to a
world of predictive and intelligence services (generated value from data in
multiple ways) is Now!
• Rise of predictive information through cards
• Leveraging both data at rest (stored in a database) and data in motion (data
stream in real time) is the new normal.e

Urban Engines : CrowdSourcing or Tracking?
• Without embedding any sensors in the subway or video cameras watching the platforms, Urban Engines can tell:• things like how long commuters were waiting, how many trains went by that were so full
commuters couldn’t get on and what the volume of each train car was throughout the day.
• It only needs the data from when the commuter enters and exits the station, and by knowing the aggregate of all the commuter data at the same time, it can infer how the system is operating.
• Essentially, Urban Engines is taking the smallest and cleanest amount of data possible to map out the entire public transportation network.
• Could be used also inside airports or in any place where mobility could be tracked

Beeline
• Singapore has announced a proof of concept for an experimental bus scheme that could allow citizens to reserve bus seats and create new routes that better suit their needs.
• The scheme, called Beeline, is intended to allow commuters to suggest where they would like to be picked up from, and where they would like to go.
• The government has this week launched a web site - beeline.sg - with an interactive map for this purpose.
• If enough citizens suggest a new route, a private bus service could be activated.• Other proposed features include allowing pre-
booking of seats; notifications of bus arrival times; and express buses for especially popular routes.

Public Bus On Demand
• MIT researchers have created a platform that could turn bus transportation
into your own personal pickup service.
• Platform that would place buses strategically around the city.
• As people request them via phone or computer, the buses would use an algorithm to
reroute to their locations. It would take no more than seven minutes for a bus to arrive.
• Karthik Narayan, a senior experience designer at Isobar US, has a potential
solution: on-demand public buses that pick you up wherever you are and
drop you off where you need to go, no need to run to the bus stop or go ten
blocks out of your way.
• The concept is a bit similar to the carpool services that Uber and Lyft offer
today.

Xerox New Virtual Agent
• Xerox has developed an intelligent, virtual customer care agent that is capable of understanding and solving customer queries in the same way a human agent would.
• The WDS Virtual Agent is based on artificial intelligence research developed by PARC and the Xerox Research Centre Europe (XRCE) and is capable of learning from its human colleagues.
• The AI software listens to human agents diagnose and solve customer issues and then develops the intelligence required to answer customer queries itself, without having to be programmed.

3rd Generation Mobile App is There
• First generation: ‘information appliance’ model.
• Using software, you transformed your phone into a mostly mono-purpose device just
like it said on the tin. Now it’s a phone. Now it’s a calculator. Now it’s a messaging tool.
• Second generation: the ‘home screen’ era
• Every app fought hard to be your home base.
• The prevailing wisdom was that you had to cram everything your service offered into
mobile, using a form of design-driven gavage to stuff your app until it was positively
groaning with tabs and gutters and drawers.
• 3rd Generation: Apps As Service Layers
• Apps you have on your phone but only open when you know they explicitly have
something to say to you
• They’re purpose built and informed by contextual signals like hardware sensors,
location, history of use and predictive computation.
Source: TechCrunch 69Copyright © William El Kaim 2016
The Age Of Apps As Service Layers
• These ‘invisible apps’ are less about the way they look or how many features
they cram in and more about maximizing their usefulness to you without
monopolizing your attention.
• A confluence of factors have made these kinds of context-aware apps
possible at this point in time.
• Increasing power efficiency in physical memory and device processors has led to better
battery life.
• As iOS and Windows Phone and Android get more sophisticated and more contextually
aware, they’re providing the tools needed by developers to not only collate and act on
these signals, but also to present them to a user with speed and care.
• And services like Foursquare or Waze have reached a critical mass of data and users
that have enabled it to develop systems for accurately telling whether you’re walking by
a restaurant or actually walking in the doors.

Hailo New Google Now Card
• Hailo has teamed up with Google to introduce a Now card that will help make the commute a little bit easier for its customers.
• Instead of poking around in apps and web pages to find what you need, Now cards in the Google app can give you the right information at exactly the right time.
• For people who have opted in to Google Now and have downloaded the Hailo app, the HailoNow card will send an alert to anyone who has booked a journey from outer London zones in to Central London between 7-10am in the morning an offer of a cab home if the passenger is still in the same London location after 5pm.

Uber Quicker Than Taxi
• In a few short years, ride-sharing
companies have dominated their taxi
competitors. In San Francisco alone,
Uber reportedly earnsmore than three
times the entire taxi market ($500 million
vs. $140 million).
• The longer Uber exists in a city, the less
patient consumers become. Uber is
making consumers impatient!
• Uber alerts drivers to a potential surge
in users, they hop on the road and are
back home in a few hours.
• Big data and predictions are key!

Ex: Ride Share in Washington D.C.
• Lift startup based out of the 1776 tech incubator, offers an app-based hailing system similar to Uber or Lyft but with its own gimmicks designed to make it stand out.• Counts Transdev as investor
• Split works much like a car-pool. • Drivers will pick up customers who are all going the same way, taking them to their
destination one by one.
• It's $2 per ride and $1 per mile with no surge pricing, with rides costing between $2 and $8.
• The eventual plan is to cover the entire District, but for now, Split is driving around the area in the map below and has about 20 drivers working for them.
• Compete with: Uber, Lyft, Sidecar and Green Tomato Cars + commuter sharing startup Bridj + Getaround, a shared-car rental platform

Transloc
• The emerging TransLoc operating system can draw on Traveler data in two key ways.
• First, it can inform agencies that some of their fixed route service might be inefficient—say, by changing the number of buses or routes that run at different times of the day based on ridership.
• More critically, says Kaufman, the new system will be able to recommend where transit agencies can supplement existing fixed service with a more flexible, on-demand option.
