The document proposes an education campaign to promote electric vehicles. It will provide concise, positive messaging about electric vehicles' benefits for the environment, independence from foreign oil, and low operating costs. Conceptual ads show electric vehicles enhancing experiences like driving with the wind in your hair while helping the earth. The campaign will launch regionally with top partners before expanding nationally to establish benchmarks and understanding of electric vehicles' potential. Its goal is to accelerate adoption of this technology to build a sustainable future.
One Change launched a pilot campaign called Project Porchlight in Ottawa that distributed 225,000 free CFL light bulbs through volunteers. This campaign saved over $100 million in energy costs and cut greenhouse gas emissions. The campaign then provided 13,000 free digital tire gauges to Ottawa drivers, which could save each driver $60 per year by properly inflating their tires. Surveys found the campaigns increased awareness of fuel efficiency and positively impacted sponsors like Canadian Tire. One Change aims to launch larger province-wide and nationwide campaigns to continue empowering people through simple actions.

The document discusses the challenges facing future mobility and potential solutions. It identifies 7 major challenges: CO2 emissions, end of cheap oil, pollution, congestion, parking, unemployment, and trade deficit. It argues that future mobility should be shared, electric, and small-scale through solutions like vehicle sharing, ride sharing, public transportation, and small efficient vehicles. The most efficient transport modes in cities are said to be buses, scooters, and bikes due to their small physical footprint and weight per person carried. The mobility of the future is envisioned to be more shared, electric, autonomous, and focus on small vehicles like the PodRide concept over large vehicles like the Tesla S.

This document discusses aligning the interests of pedestrians and cyclists for a more livable city. It notes that while everyone walks, there is no powerful lobby to advocate for walking. It also states that pedestrians and cyclists dream of the same things - they want livable streets and to not have to put up with poor conditions. The document calls for a coherent vision and strategy to reclaim streets for a more livable city that prioritizes walking, cycling, and public transit over cars. It advocates for traffic calming and safer streets for all.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Bruce McVean of the Movement for Liveable London about making changes to London's transportation system to improve health, wealth, and happiness. It discusses how cities are designed for mutual enrichment between people but that streets now have limited space and fierce competition between modes of transportation. It argues that London needs a proper transportation plan and political will to shift more space from cars to walking, cycling, and public transportation to make the city healthier, wealthier, and happier for residents.

This document discusses the importance of walkable high streets and some of the challenges they face. It notes that walkable high streets are important for communities but that they need to balance the needs of different functions and users. The document also emphasizes that improvements to public spaces on high streets can increase foot traffic and local business revenue by up to 40%. It encourages speaking up to local councils to help rebalance high streets to better serve pedestrians.
This document discusses light segregation as a way to provide protected space for cyclists. It presents a case study of Royal College Street where light segregation was used successfully to reduce collisions. Light segregation uses low-cost, removable objects like armadillos, planters and poles spaced 2.5-10 meters apart to delineate space for cycling while allowing flexibility. It has benefits over full segregation in being adaptable and enabling both protected and vehicular-style cycling. The London Cycling Design Standards provide guidelines for implementing light segregation.

Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

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.

“I think the Times campaign is an excellent campaign. I strongly support what they
are trying to do. Anyone who has got on a bicycle - particularly in one of our busier
cities - knows you are taking your life into your hands every time you do so, and so we
do need to do more to try and make cycling safer.”

23. The 20mph city
“There is an equation in the physical sciences that tells us that kinetic energy in a
moving object is equal to one-half of its mass times velocity squared ... A car moving
twice as fast has four times as much kinetic energy. We do not need to have been hit
by a car to understand this. Evolution has hard-wired this knowledge into our
brains.”
Ian Roberts and Phil Edwards, The Energy Glut, 2010
“Simply put, if you get hit by a car driving at 30 mph you are much more likely to get
seriously injured or killed than at 20 mph. In fact a pedestrian struck at 20 mph has a
97% chance of survival whilst at 30 mph the figure is 80%, falling to 50% at 35 mph.”
Tom Platt, Living Streets

24. Change the economics of car ownership and use
“We need to shift the emphasis from households spending thousands of pounds on a
new car every few years and then experiencing a relatively low cost per trip, to a
situation where people pay for each individual trip but don‟t invest the initial lump
sum. By doing this, we will all think much more carefully about the best way to make a
journey ... Some households will find that they no longer need to keep a car for their
personal use and will save money.”

junction during peak time, at an estimated speed of just 12mph, creating a much
improved and safer environment for cyclists to pass through.”

47. „All it needs is political will‟
“Decision-making is hard. Everyone always says: listen to the people. The trouble is
