A presentation conducted by Professor Toshiyuki Yamamoto, EcoTopia Science Institute, Nagoya University. Presented on Wednesday the 2nd of October 2013.
Transport system is one of the fundamental infrastructures, and a significant source of energy consumption and environmental load. Electric vehicles are expected to reduce the latter negative effects, and improve the functionality of the transport system. However, the limited driving mileage of the electric vehicles requires different electric charging system than gasoline refueling system, and the lower driving performance might potentially
cause negative effects on traffic flows. An electric charging behavior model is developed and the efficiency in battery
capacity usage is investigated in this study. We also developed a simulation system to investigate electricity demand distribution across time of day and space within urban area considering charging behavior of electric vehicles. In addition, the effects of introducing electric micro-cars into traffic are investigated by microscopic traffic
simulations considering lower maximum speed of the micro-cars. These modeling and simulation tools enable rigorous evaluations of future transport system.
SMART Infrastructure Facility Associate Professor Rodney Clark, shared his work with the wider university community recently when he presented a SMART Seminar. Titled, ‘Tweets, Emergencies and Experience - New Theory and Methods in support of the PetaJakarta Project’, SMART's Co-Lab Manager presented this seminar on November 18th, 2014.

By Richard Fogel and Stanton Jones. The outsourcing industry has embraced service standardization, sourcing decisions have become increasingly fact-based, and the RFP process is less relevant than ever before. How do these trends in sourcing impact commercial contracting? This breakfast session will explore how market participants are moving away from yesterday’s cumbersome practices and are bringing new efficiency to client relationships.
By Lois Coatney, Kevin Boulas and Ola Chowning. ITIL has long been a cornerstone of service delivery and integration. Yet the growth in as-a-service technologies and the emerging application economy require shorter agile development sprints. Is ITIL too rigid and too slow for IT and the business? Join our dialogue about the challenges of the application economy and how ITIL must evolve to support a new generation of service delivery.
