Smart city boom, electric car becomes the key
From smart buildings to smart residential communities to smart cities that are now fixed-point testing, people are always exploring the optimal solutions for sustainable urban development. In the United States, Japan, South Korea and other countries, the future of smart city construction boom is on the rise. In the construction of smart cities, transportation, especially electric vehicles that represent clean and environmental protection, is a key part.
Recently, Columbus, Ohio, USA defeated six other cities and qualified for the US Smart City Project. It plans to promote the use of electric vehicles and create a new transportation system. South Korea is developing electric vehicles specifically for future smart cities, while Japan's smart cities focus on electric vehicles and clean energy.
140 million US dollars to help popularize electric vehicles
Recently, in the Smart City Challenge held by the US Department of Transportation (DOT), Columbus defeated the six cities of Austin, Denver, Kansas City, Pittsburgh, Portland, and San Francisco, and received 40 million US Department of Transportation. The allocation of the dollar. In addition, Vulcan Chairman and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen injected $10 million into Columbus, and local companies invested a total of $90 million to help Columbus promote the use of electric vehicles and create an innovative Future transportation system.
Columbus's smart city plan for the future includes: obtaining the commitment of CEOs from the top 50 companies and institutions in the city to buy and drive electric vehicles and install electric vehicle charging piles for employees; expand urban electric vehicle fleets and borrow smart sensors Integrate data to improve traffic congestion, reduce accidents and vehicle emissions; install solar and wind power equipment for electric vehicle charging; deploy an electric car shuttle with autopilot to connect to a transportation center or business district; distribute new to the public The smart transportation card, which contains the APP software, can be used to pay for the bus or taxi.
Some foreign companies are also involved, including German parts giant Continental and Israeli software company Mobileye, the former developed a series of electronic and security technologies, the latter is a technology company, its camera sensor can be used to detect and avoid collisions.
In Columbus' Smart City project, the Washington-based non-profit organization Electrification Alliance (EC) is a partner of Vulcan. The alliance is committed to promoting the popularity of electric vehicles, and its chairman, Robbie Diamond, believes that Columbus is a test field for future urban construction in the United States.
A person in charge of the US Department of Transportation said: "This country urgently needs innovation and needs 21st century transportation solutions such as electric cars and autonomous vehicles to end our dependence on oil."
Create a city-specific electric car
In early June of this year, South Korea's Ulsan University of Science and Technology (UNIST) issued a statement saying that the university is working with South Korean electric car manufacturer Power Plaza to promote the "Smart City Automotive Project" and to develop a model temporarily named "E Urban Mobility". electric car.
Due to the continuous development of modern cities, people's travel modes have also become diversified. In order to make people's travel more convenient, the means of transportation have gradually changed. According to UNIST and Power Plaza, E Urban Mobility is a small electric car that can be used in cities. It can carry 1 to 3 people and has new performance, architecture and design.
Specifically, E Urban Mobility adopts a folding design, which can be bent vertically, can be driven according to the needs of users, can be horizontally spread, and can be driven by driving. It is convenient to use in cities with complicated traffic conditions.
Currently, UNIST is conducting research on carbon fiber lightweight materials, charging facilities, batteries, engine design and model design, and plans to launch the E Urban Mobility prototype at the Seoul Motor Show in South Korea in 2017. UNIST President Mooyoung Jung said: "This is the first time UNIST has worked with companies to build electric vehicles for intelligent transportation systems. We will develop an innovative car that can serve as an industry pioneer."
Sungho Kim, CEO of Power Plaza, said: "UNIST has a wealth of experience in the interaction of electric vehicles and people. With this experience, we can launch a new electric car that completely overturns the previous concept."
Using electric vehicles to reduce emissions
Compared with other countries, Japan's exploration of smart cities is relatively early. In fact, as early as 2010, Japan, which has been affected by the earthquake for a long time, has begun to prepare to build smart cities with four cities as pilots, namely Yokohama City, Toyota City, Kyoto City and Kitakyushu City. Under the influence of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, the construction of smart cities is even more urgent. In 2012, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry officially launched a pilot project. The overall planning of the four cities has its own focus, but one thing in common is the management of electric energy systems, covering smart grids, renewable energy and electric vehicles.
Take Toyota City, the headquarters of Toyota Motor, as an example. The focus of this pilot is on the efficient use of energy by households, including the installation of renewable energy devices such as solar power and fuel cell power generation in residential buildings, and the introduction of hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles. car.
As the home base of Toyota Motor, Toyota City actively encourages residents to purchase hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles, and provides subsidies for this purpose. The goal is to reduce the city's carbon emissions by 30% from 1990 and 50% by 2050 by 2030. In addition, Toyota City provides subsidies for equipment such as solar power systems and household fuel cell power generation systems.
