Ipswich Buses transports almost 7 million passengers annually and is owned entirely by Ipswich Borough Council, making it one of only 9 remaining municipally owned bus operators in the UK. The bus industry has faced challenges in recent decades including rising fares, congestion, and increased car ownership, leading to an overall decline. However, opportunities exist through new technologies, alternative fuels, and partnerships to reverse this trend.
Regeneration Framework Presentation 13 June 2014Shahid Solomon
The Voortrekker Road Corridor and the Bellville CBD have been in a downward spiral of urban degeneration for at least the past 15 Years. A declining quality of public transport service led those who can afford to do so, to use the N1 Freeway to get to and from work, shopping and other activities. Huge developments have taken place on this freeway “Super Corridor” including N1 City, Tyger Valley, Century City and Cape Gate. These developments have not been planned around public transport and are therefore not accessible to most Capetonians. The flight of business, shopping and investment to the N1 Super Corridor has, in turn led to blight, urban decay and degradation of the Voortrekker Road Corridor and its historic towns of Maitland, Goodwood, Parow and Bellville.
Going forward an upward spiral of urban regeneration is envisaged. This will be led by major investment in new trains and the MyCiti Bus Rapid Transport to rejuvenate public transport and attract choice riders back onto the corridor. A wave of high density affordable social, gap and student housing will revitalise blighted central areas on the corridor, bring life back and support the upgraded public transport in a virtuous circle of what is called “Transit Orientated Development” or TOD. Smart City technologies can play a leading role in enabling this transition. Through linking learning infrastructure with economic infrastructure an innovation “powerhouse” can be created which goes hand-in-hand with urban regeneration to drive economic growth and investment of major proportions.
Some of the projects under development include a R 3bn new metropolitan station, a regional Technology Incubator linked to an innovation ecosystem embracing five major universities and 100 000 students, an integrated air /sea/road/rail global logistics platform linked to CTIA a basket of smaller projects, prioritised and integrated into 5 year Strategic Plan for the Partnership. A pilot tech incubator has already been established in partnership with the Bandwidth Barn.
The document summarizes Phil Tinn's upcoming open-source workshop on smart cities and autonomous vehicles. The workshop will cover topics like vehicle-to-rider interactions for road safety, electric and shared autonomous vehicles, public acceptance of vehicle-to-pedestrian technologies, vehicle-to-goods services, and matching vehicle intelligence to environment complexity. The document also outlines Tinn's vision of moving from car-centric mapping to open-sourced and crowd-sourced solutions using cheaper Lidar technologies.
Electric Bus Trial in DTC
The Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) conducted an electric bus trial from March to June 2016. An electric bus was provided by BYD Auto Industry of China through their local partner.

It also proposes installing piezoelectric cells in station floors to generate electricity from passenger foot traffic and harnessing commuter body heat under stations to provide heating to nearby areas, as done in the Paris metro system. The solutions aim to reduce carbon footprints, help immigrants travel seamlessly between cities and generate renewable energy from passenger movement and body heat.

ADSS sees opportunities to expand passenger information systems to more stations and potentially install solutions on trains.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
