This document discusses smart gigabit communities, which are public-private partnerships that create connected ecosystems of innovative applications and services in communities with high-speed internet access. The goals of smart gigabit communities include economic development, civic resilience, supporting the internet of things and smart cities, and advancing areas like healthcare, education, public safety, transportation, clean energy, and manufacturing. Key aspects of smart gigabit communities include local carriers providing high-speed internet access, a local network interchange to keep traffic local, and smart city "brain" servers to dynamically allocate applications and services.

5D SMART
A 3D data visualization platform project mapping building energy usage and GHG emissions
data to a 3D model of downtown San Francisco that will empower building owners with the
information and tools they need to make their buildings more energy efficient.
• The City of San Francisco
expects to incur an estimated
$62 billion in climate-related
infrastructure damage by the
middle of the 21st century.
• Buildings are responsible for
52% of the city's carbon
emissions, a major cause of
climate change.
• 75% of the city's largest 2,000
commercial buildings fall
within the boundaries of the
San Francisco 2030 District.
• Despite progressive green
building codes, capital
markets, real estate investors,
property managers,
commercial tenants, and even
utilities lack comprehensive,
granular data about the
specific energy efficiency
opportunities and solutions.
• 5D Smart San Francisco 2030
District will serve as a hub
making necessary data and
solutions easily available to
building owners in the city in
order to accelerate and
expand investment in energy
efficiency retrofits.

- suggest safe and efficient routes for walking late at
night or for timing traffic lights during peak traffic
hours.

31. SMART MOBILE OPERATION: OSU
TRANSPORTATION HUB (SMOOTH)
Automating the First and the Last Miles
Automating the First and Last Miles
First Mile/Last Mile Solutions
• On demand automated vehicles will move passengers the first
mile to the bus stop and the last mile from the bus stop (bottom
picture).
• Scheduled or on demand vehicles will move passengers through
a closed loop within OSU campus (through roads and pedestrian
areas, top picture).
• The vehicles will:
– use automated driving technology;
– use V2V communication for convoy driving;
– be equipped with vulnerable road user protection
technology enabling them to function in pedestrian zones.
• SMOOTH will keep track of vehicles and guide them.
• Smartphone applications will be developed to schedule and track
the on-demand automated vehicles.
