1 Three steps to ATN in Kirkland The City of Kirkland Ron Swenson INIST February 10, 2014

2 The three steps are 3. Collaboration 1. Economics 2. Technology

3 Economics

6 Which will it be?!

7 2GetThere = buying

8 ULTra = buying

9 Vectus = buying

10 Modutram = buying

11 Tex Johnston was selling

12 The “Ohm team” is selling

13 Technology

14 There are 3 ways to raise the bar Energy Visual Impact Capacity

15 Energy

16 Oil is not the energy of the future

17 Is it going to be the all new Doncar? Or …

18 … follow San José’s example and do ATN with renewable energy Ensure that the ATN system is built … utilizing renewable energy … maximize energy efficiency and potentially be powered in whole or part by renewable energy. … and calculating carbon emissions reductions achievable through renewable energy evaluate cost/benefits of using renewable energy to offset all or a portion of the energy requirements Provide analysis of cost/savings and recommend specifications to execute energy-efficiency and renewable energy strategies… 2009

19 Typical trip patterns closely match the pattern of sunshine, with evening extension

20 A solar canopy can be attractive

21 Visual Impact

22 Construction Hawaii before

23 Construction Hawaii after

24 Construction Hawaii Beamways

25 Capacity

26 Capacity can be increased with state of the art control systems 1. CAPACITY 2. COST A very low cost vehicle- carried controller is needed ~500% improvement over the state of the art control is needed ATN systems use off line stations to get better use of the tracks

27 Bucky Fuller said find ways to do … More with Less 1966

28 Young people will help raise the bar 10 X Energy Visual Impact Capacity

29 Collaboration

30 New urban infrastructure requires multi-sector engagement 3. Industry 1. Universities 2. Cities

31 Universities

32 Local schools can join in the challenge

33 Collaborative visualization is another key tool

34 INIST is doing it with Encitra 4D …

35 Cities

36 We formed ATNA to bring cities together to share best practices Cupertino Milpitas Mountain View San Jose Santa Clara Santa Cruz Sunnyvale 2013

37 We formed ATNA to bring cities together to share best practices The ATN Association www.atna.us Kirkland Redmond Bellevue … and others …

38 Industry

41 Do we have 100 years of Natural Gas? 2012

42 How long will it last?

43 How can we deliver on the solar skyways challenge? 2 seconds apart @ 90 km/hr = 50 m Solar Race Car averages 90 km/hr with 6 m 2 solar panel … Podcars have 50 m ÷ 3 m = 17 X more collection area than solar race cars! 17 X 2m 3m Knowing it can be done, let’s ramp onto the Solar Skyway … 2006
