清洁的可再生能源,如太阳能和风能,必须在智慧城市中使用。人们需要把未使用的电能售回给电网,从而不产生能源浪费,他说。
When Superstorm Sandy lashed New Jersey in 2012, Narayan B. Mandayam lost power in his East Brunswick home for five days.
“了解人们的行为对于智慧城市的设计是不可或缺的,这就是为什么说这个项目在许多层面上都令人关注,”他说。
以下为“英文原文”
"A smart city is where every device, every entity and every object can connect for whatever the needs," said Mandayam, a distinguished professor who chairs the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the School of Engineering. "Wireless connectivity is the glue that holds everything together, and the bottom line is to improve the quality of life in cities and quality of the planet."
Based on the time of day, different prices for energy and various services can influence behavior and conserve energy and other resources. Cell towers could be powered down during hours with low demand, Mandayam noted.
Psychology plays a key role because you must account for how you influence people's behavior and how people's behavior influences the design of a smart city. The goal is to nudge people to behave better and make the right choices, leading to sustainability, and how you frame questions or make proposals is important, Mandayam said.
桑迪引起了罗格斯大学教授的兴趣,他想要设计一个智慧城市,在这个城市里,所有物体都可以相连接,使用可再生能源,建设绿色基础设施,进行可持续性的管理;而且最关键的是在故障、灾害和恶意攻击之后能够迅速恢复。
"I think there are a lot of efforts around the world to foster smart cities," Mandayam said. "Pieces or portions of cities perhaps are smart now. Some homes, for instance, have smart thermostats that increase energy efficiency. But the question is whether you can put all the pieces together holistically."
Sandy sparked the Rutgers professor's interest in helping to engineer smart cities, where everything is connected; renewable energy, green infrastructure and sustainability reign; and resilience after breakdowns, disasters and malicious attacks is critical.
白宫表示,地球人口规模已经达到73亿,其中54%是城市人口,随着人口数量的不断上升和城市化进程的加快,到2050年地球人口将再增加25亿。
Future 'smart cities' should be super-connected, green and resilient
"Understanding how people behave is integral to a smart city and that's why the project is interesting on so many levels," he said.
With urban areas already harboring 54 percent of the 7.3 billion people on Earth, rising population and urbanization will add another 2.5 billion to them by 2050, the White House says.
His research on smart cities is being conducted with Janne Lindqvist, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering and expert on human-computer interaction, and Arnold Glass, a professor of cognitive psychology in the School of Arts of Sciences. They're one year into a four-year, $916,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) grant through the Critical Resilient Interdependent Infrastructure Systems and Processes (CRISP) project. Virginia Tech and Florida International University researchers have related NSF grants.
当为手机信号塔供电的备用发电机电力下降的时候,断电也影响了该地区的手机服务。
罗格斯大学的项目旨在整合关键的基础设施,如将智能交通、无线系统、水网和电网整合成一个统一的智慧城市。关键基础设施将分享能源,计算,无线服务,用户和运营人员,以及经济投资。这些设施通常面临日常损耗;自然灾害,如风暴和地震;以及潜在的恶意攻击,如对电网或互联网的网络攻击。
罗格斯大学的项目正好与2015年奥巴马政府倡议的智慧城市建设相吻合。该计划的特点是投入1.6亿美元进行项目研发,并将促进技术合作以帮助社区解决关键问题。它们包括减少交通拥堵,打击犯罪,促进经济增长,管理气候变化产生的影响以及改善城市服务。根据白宫的声明,这些都需要安全地利用数据,研究并降低传感器成本,以保证安全,保护隐私。
“要实现智慧城市,需要大量的基础设施投资,但效益可能远远超过成本,”他说。“当我想到交通拥堵,污染和我们对环境与生活质量造成的负面影响时,我认为如果我们不去做出努力来改善的话,会让我寝食难安。”（张微编译）
