SCEWC was held with Tomorrow.Mobility World Congress – organized with the EIT urban Mobility –, Tomorrow.Building, Tomorrow.Blue Economy and the Barcelona Deeptech Summit. After three days, the events gathered over 25.771 attendees from more than 130 countries at Fira de Barcelona’s Gran Via venue. Under the theme “Live Better”, the event brought together representatives from 850 cities, to showcase and share the experiences of their latest projects and initiatives. The conference program featured 632 speakers including Ruha Benjamin, expert in technology-based inequity; Majora Carter, urban revitalization strategist; Stephanie Hare, expert in technology and social justice; and Melati Wijsen, environmental activist. Together, the events hosted a total of 1,150 exhibitors who showcased their latest products and solutions. Among these were industry leaders such as Saudi Aramco, Axis Communications, Dahua Technology, Dassault Systèmes, Dell/Nvidia, FCC Medio Ambiente, Hail City, KHNP, KPMG, Madinah City, MDEC, Microsoft, New Murabba, Nova Cidade, PNY, PWC, Roshn Group, Smart Ports – Piers of the Future, and Veolia. The Director of Smart City Expo World Congress, Ugo Valenti said “the outcome of this year’s event has been particularly significant, not only because we set new records in terms of dimensions and attendance, but also because we proved that our focus is key to improving citizens’ lives worldwide. The fact that some of the solutions presented here helped in the response to the Valencia floodings is proof that our efforts are making a tangible difference. This event has certified that our mission to foster sustainable and liveable cities is more crucial than ever.” <h3>Resilience, protagonist after Valencia floodings</h3> Along these lines, companies and solutions on the urban resilience field and countries sharing their experiences managing natural disasters became protagonists of the 2024 edition after the flooding in Valencia (Spain) that occurred a few days before the event. The devastating rainfall highlighted the need for cities to prepare for the effects of climate change and be ready to guarantee the wellbeing of citizens. Technology enables governments and institutions to monitor and set early warning protocols that can mitigate the effects of events as the storms in Valencia. SCEWC undertook several initiatives to support relief efforts including fundraising for the Red Cross and a program to channel solutions shared by exhibiting companies to help in the aftermath of the Valencia flooding and mitigate future flood risks. <h3>World Smart City Awards</h3> The Chinese city of Shenzen was awarded as “Smart City of 2024” at the World Smart City Awards that acknowledge every year the most outstanding initiatives and projects in the urban transformation industry. The awards also honored Milano Mayor, Giuseppe with the Leadership Award for his remarkable contributions to international urban innovation. <h3>SCEWC abroad</h3> The success of Smart City Expo has prompted the Barcelona-based event to grow with regional editions around the world. In 2025, SCEWC will launch Smart City Expo Kuala Lumpur (SCEKL) in Malaysia from September 17-19. This will be the first show ever organized in Southeast Asia. SCEKL will join the list of edition abroad that in 2025 will include Smart City Expo Curitiba (May 25-27); Smart City Expo USA, held in New York on April 2-3; Smart City Expo Latam Congress in Puebla (Mexico) on June 10-12; Smart City Expo Santiago del Estero (Argentina) on June 25-26; a third consecutive edition in Colombia, in this case in Cartagena de Indias October 8-9; and Smart City Expo China, with dates yet to be confirmed.

These challenges encompass various factors such as aging infrastructure, human errors, railway crossings, signal failures, security concerns, and adverse weather conditions. Railway operators must navigate these factors to ensure safe operations. To assist railway operators in adhering to established safety procedures and best practices, the European Union Agency for Railways (ERA) has provided guidance on risk management through REGULATION (EU) No 402/2013, known as the Common Safety Method (CSM). The CSM outlines essential safety management principles, methodologies, and procedures that must be followed by railway infrastructure managers, railway undertakings, and other stakeholders within the railway sector. One key requirement of the CSM regulations is the establishment of a Safety Management System (SMS). The SMS serves as a structured framework, prioritizing safety and ensuring the implementation of necessary safety measures in railway systems’ design, operation, and maintenance. How can rail organizations meet the current ERA requirements while maintaining an agile Safety Management System capable of adapting to future regulations? To address this challenge and establish a framework that not only meets ERA safety requirements but also lays the foundation for a proactive risk management system, a multi-phase approach is recommended. This approach allows organizations to gradually roll out safety initiatives and helps to secure the support of all potential stakeholders for the process: <img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="650" height="118" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21282" src="https://www.transportadvancement.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Railway1.png" alt="" srcset="https://www.transportadvancement.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Railway1.png 650w, https://www.transportadvancement.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Railway1-300x54.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px" /> <ol> <li>Set targets and scope for the process: Begin by identifying key challenges in an initial workshop to grasp immediate needs and long-term objectives. Questions to consider include digitalizing the hazard log for more dynamic use in risk management and facilitating access to risk reports for internal stakeholders and external authorities. Define workflows tailored to your organization’s needs. Identifying phase-one goals will help establish project requirements and potential future functionalities.</li> <li>Conduct a safety readiness assessment: Engage in consultancy sessions with rail safety experts to assess the current state of safety operations and identify immediate risks that require attention. This step also helps establish best practice processes for maintaining safe operations. Possible areas of improvement may be detected in roles & responsibilities definition, competence management, automation of barrier handling and assessment of changes both in technical assets and at organizational level. This assessment can help to identify any gaps with regulatory compliance.</li> <li>Implement a Safety Management Solution: Introduce a QHSE (Quality, Health, Safety, and Environment) tool that not only centralizes risk data but also supports the implementation of proposed processes across the organization. Ideally, this tool should facilitate risk and incident management and enable dynamic barrier management. Consider a phased rollout of the solution, beginning with the most impactful functionalities, and gradually incorporating modules like Quality Management, Cyber Security, or Inspection Management as needed. Including a mobile app for remote case reporting can boost engagement and reporting frequency. In this phase it’s important to determine the ultimate objective aligned with the QHSE maturity level of the organization. One also needs to determine the baseline for the QHSE tool integration to maximize the value for all rail safety stakeholders.</li> <li>Follow-up and Evaluation: After successfully implementing the Safety Management Solution, evaluate its effectiveness and adoption. Assess whether all best practices have been incorporated and explore opportunities for adjustments or automation to enhance efficiency. After this assessment, the coverage of the full risk map can be determined, and any remaining risks can be linked between departments and functions within the stakeholder organization. Any required changes in the management system can be reflected in the QHSE tool, such as Synergi Life, to support further rollouts and act as a support system for change management. A QHSE system can also provide more control of the implementation of future innovations and technical or technological evolutions within their rail asset environment.</li> </ol> By following this multi-phase approach, rail organizations can not only meet current safety requirements but also build a flexible Safety Management System capable of adapting to future regulatory changes while maintaining a strong focus on safety and risk management.

Its biggest impact will be on transport, where fast connections, quick response times, and lots of devices linking up can change how cities run their transport. With 5G acting like a backbone for cool things like self-driving cars, live traffic tracking, and linked transport systems, it could really shake up how people move around cities, making them quicker, safer, and greener. <h3>1. Enabling Autonomous Vehicles</h3> One big thing about 5G in smart transport is that it could speed up getting self-driving cars (AVs) everywhere. These cars need super-fast communication to make fast choices on the go. The tons of data from AV sensors (like cameras and radar) must get sent right away to understand driving situations—something older networks don’t do very well. 5G networks can help AVs talk to each other (V2V), infrastructure (V2I), and cloud services that give updates and maps. This better connection will not just improve AV safety but also help them work together to adapt to traffic situations, lower accidents, and find better routes quickly. <h3>2. Real-Time Traffic Management</h3> Traffic jams are a constant headache in smart cities. Old traffic systems tend to react slowly and can’t adjust well as traffic changes. 5G can fix this by enabling real-time monitoring and management of traffic like never before. Roads, lights, and vehicles fitted with sensors can use 5G networks to send data instantly for flow optimization. For example, smart signals can change timings based on how many cars are waiting at intersections to cut down wait times and jams. Plus, using live data from all sources can help foresee potential issues before they happen allowing faster fixes. Also, 5G makes vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication possible where vehicles interact not only with signals but also with pedestrians and cyclists which boosts safety. <h3>3. Integrated Multimodal Transport Systems</h3> A big part of smart cities is mixing different travel options – public transit, cars, ride-sharing, bikes into a smooth-running system. 5G networks will make this work by sharing real-time data across all types of travel. For example, a smart city’s system might pull info from buses, trains, taxis and bikes so users get up-to-date route plans while traveling. Passengers would know about delays or service changes right away while operators could tweak services based on demand or unexpected issues. Also important is 5G’s ability to connect many devices at once means connecting loads of points like public transit rides or smart parking meters which builds an even tighter network of information verständlich everywhere! city thing where transport goes nice with many services and people, making less mess and keeping rides green. <h3>4. Sustainable Urban Mobility</h3> Being green is super important for smart towns, and 5G can help make better earth-friendly rides. Smart rides, like electric cars (EVs) and share-a-ride stuff, need good planning and watching. 5G helps make electric cars charge better by checking charging spots real-time and placing them where needed. Also, smart energy methods with 5G will keep power flowing right and manage charging to use less energy and push for clean energy. Plus, with shared e-scooters and bikes getting help from 5G, there’s less need for personal cars, cutting down smoke and traffic jams. The fast network can handle lots of tech data making it easier to connect people to cleaner ways to get around the city. <h3>5. Better Safety</h3> Keeping all safe in transport is very key, and 5G boosts both car and walking safety. With V2X talks that let cars chat with one another and stuff like stoplights or pedestrians; we got more alerts for danger things like quick stops or people on the road. For example, a self-driving car speeding can get news about red signals or emergency vehicles coming up so it reacts quick to dodge crashes. Smart signs could tell cars tricky weather or accidents ahead so drivers have time to slow down or change their path. Also, using 5G in emergency work boosts city safety. Police, firemen, and medics can use live info such as where they are or what’s happening around to join efforts better and shorten wait times. <h3>Closing Thoughts</h3> Using 5G is big in creating smart travel systems influencing future city moving. Giving tools for self-driving rides, real-time traffic fixes, connected travel options, green rides, plus upgraded safety means 5G builds groundwork for clever urban areas everywhere. As cities grow bigger, needing smoother green checkout ways gets more urgent. 5G brings major shifts promising joins up transport smarter while helping make cities liveable places ready for citizens’ needs. With 5G leading the way forward to brighter smart city dreams improving life quality for everyone one step at a time.

Smart transport systems that put together technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), big data, and robots is super important for making smart cities happen all over. This helps with less traffic jams, easier moving around, and a nicer lifestyle. Smart transport systems are central to Asia’s goal to make cities not just linked up and quick but also good for the Earth. <h3>1. Fighting City Traffic Mess and Managing Cars</h3> One big problem cities face in Asia is traffic mess. Places like Jakarta, Manila, and Bangkok are famous for their stuck cars which waste time, pollute air more, and hurt productivity. Smart transport gadgets can help fix these things. Smart Traffic Fixing: Using AI and big data magic, smart cities gather real-time info from sensors, cameras, and GPS bits to watch car flow and adjust traffic lights better. In nifty Singapore, smart traffic lights change based on how many cars there are at the moment so vehicles move smoother without getting stuck. Route Help and Traffic Guessing: Smart apps like Google Maps or Waze use AI to tell live traffic news and show better routes for drivers to avoid busy spots which makes everyone’s drive faster on main streets. <h3>2. Green Moving Solutions</h3> Cities in Asia have tons of people packed together who deal with bad air quality and more carbon stuff. Green moving solutions such as electric rides (EVs), sharing rides, and public transport are key parts of smart city designs. Electric Cars And Self-Driving Rides: Cities like Shenzhen in China or Tokyo in Japan lead using electric buses, taxis, or cars. With battery tech getting better fast, EVs fit into city travel plans quicker which helps cut down pollution levels too. Ride Sharing: Services like Grab in Southeast Asia or Didi in China change how people move by offering cheaper options than owning a car. These sharing services don’t just bring fewer cars on roads, they also aid in cutting carbon footprints down too. Fixing Public Transport: Buses, trains, metros being plugged into smart city systems mean better efficiency overall. In Seoul or Tokyo commuters get instant updates about bus/train times keeping trips smooth for everyone involved. <h3>3. Data-based Town Building Plans</h3> Smart transport doesn’t only shift people here to there, it gives loads of info that helps with wider city layout plans too! This info helps urban planners make smarter choices about building things right to use land well plus distribute resources effectively. Smart Parking Finding Spots: Parking has always been tough where many folks live close together. Smart parking systems help drivers find open spots on the fly saving them time plus cutting down circling around wasting gas while finding parking spaces in places like Seoul or Bangalore using IoT tech watching spot availability directly guiding drivers towards free spaces thus reducing both jammed roads & emissions from pointless driving around! Mixed Mobility Services: More cities build Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) platforms that let residents plan trips straightforwardly book and pay lots for transport stuff (buses, trains, taxis, bikes) with one app. These apps make it easier to get transport services and cities can manage demand and supply better. <h3>4. Safety and Security</h3> Safety is super important in transport systems, and smart tech helps a lot for public safety on roads. Watching and Emergencies: Cities like Mumbai and Singapore use smart cameras that watch traffic and spot accidents or violations right away. AI cameras see things like speeding or running red lights and tell police fast, making roads safer. Also, these systems help responders find accidents quicker, which can save lives. Connected Cars: Self-driving cars are being tried out in some Asian cities. They talk to each other and to smart things like traffic lights to stop crashes and keep roads safer. In Shenzhen, they are testing these cars for buses to cut down on human errors. <h3>5. Inclusivity and Accessibility</h3> A good smart city helps everyone including people with disabilities and older folks. Smart transport makes cities more inclusive by meeting different mobility needs of people. Accessible Transport: In Tokyo and Hong Kong, public transport has ramps, elevators, and space for people with disabilities. Apps are made to help users get around these systems with voice commands and real-time info about services. Last-Mile Help: Making sure the last mile getting people from transit spots to their places is affordable and flexible is key for inclusivity. Cities like Jakarta and New Delhi have bike-sharing services for more eco-friendly choices. <h3>6. Challenges Ahead</h3> Even though smart transport looks great in Asia’s smart cities, there are challenges: Digital Gap: Not everyone has access to these smart services especially in rural or poorer areas. Making sure everyone can use this tech is a big task for leaders. Privacy Issues: As cities gather a lot of data from sensors, cameras, etc., keeping personal info safe is crucial. Rules And Infrastructure Problems: Getting smart tech like self-driving cars needs new rules and heavy investments that many cities can’t handle easily. <h3>Conclusion</h3> Smart transport systems are key to building smart cities in Asia. By improving traffic flow, cutting congestion, helping the planet, ensuring safety, and including everyone, smart transport changes urban life. As Asia grows fastly urban-wise, blending new transport ideas will be must-do to create cities that work well but also feel good for living and care for nature too. With proper investments in rules and infrastructure plus technology, smart transport can lead us toward a fairer future across Asian cities.

Cathay Cargo facility’s Chief Operating Officer, Mark Watts, indicated that negotiation with one Indian airline is now taking place, despite the fact that there are no Indian airlines utilizing the facility at the present time. The objective is to improve business operations and foster more effective cooperation in the years to come. Watts reiterated Cathay Cargo’s commitment to extending its presence in the Indian market, despite the fact that he did not disclose the name of the particular airline. The Cathay Cargo Terminal, which is more over one lakh square meters in size, has extensive cargo handling capabilities and has the possibility for additional expansion. Watts added that Cathay Cargo is still open to explore worldwide prospects, including those in India, despite the fact that the firm does not presently have any plans to construct operations outside of Hong Kong. The possibility of Cathay Cargo making an investment in the Indian market or in any other market would be studied very seriously by the company. Watts emphasized that the Hong Kong terminal is accessible to every foreign airline that is flying into or out of the area, and he underlined his excitement for Indian airlines to take use of the facilities that Cathay Cargo provides. He brought attention to the fact that the ongoing talks with an Indian carrier have potential, despite the fact that particular information cannot yet be published owing to the fact that the negotiations are still still in progress. During an interview with the Press Trust of India (PTI), Tom Owen, Director of Cargo at Cathay Pacific Airways, discussed the ways in which Cathay Cargo has the potential to play a significant part in bolstering India’s expanding manufacturing and export industry. The ability of Cathay to link India to global markets is essential, according to Owen, since it gives India the chance to expand its influence on the international arena. The dedication of Cathay Cargo to the continued preservation of the environment is also an essential component of the company’s overall business plan. A commitment has been made by the corporation to attain net zero carbon emissions by the year 2050 and to cut its emissions by fifty percent by the year 2035. Watts went into depth about the efforts that Cathay is making to convert all of the cars that are utilized inside the terminal into electric vehicles as part of the larger sustainability agenda that the firm is pursuing. Furthermore, Cathay Cargo is actively striving to replace conventional aircraft and terminal tractors with alternatives that are less harmful to the environment. Additionally, the company is investigating the possibility of collaborating with the Hong Kong Airport Authority on the development of autonomous electric tractor technology. Cathay Cargo’s commitment to sustainability goes beyond only lowering the amount of pollutants produced by its vehicles. Through the implementation of a plastic recycling strategy, the firm has repurposed plastic sheets that were previously used for wrapping shipments. Following the crushing and reprocessing of these polymers, resin pellets are produced. These pellets are subsequently used in the production of fresh plastic sheets. Additionally, as part of its continuous research and development efforts to improve the use of plastic in a variety of climatic conditions, Cathay Cargo is investigating the possibility of using biodegradable plastic and other alternatives. In his explanation, Watts said that rigorous testing of various plastic compositions has been carried out in a variety of conditions, ranging from the monsoons in India to snowstorms in Anchorage, Alaska, to the intense heat of Australia. In order to ensure that the material continues to be waterproof, the purpose of this study is to identify the best quantity of recycled plastic content that may currently be used. In addition to using environmentally friendly practices, Cathay Cargo is adopting cutting-edge technology in order to enhance both the efficiency and safety of its operations. The corporation is incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) technology into its operations in order to increase the overall efficiency of its processes and to make its cargo terminals safer for workers. According to Watts, artificial intelligence has the potential to play a significant role in simplifying activities, ensuring the safety of people, and making their employment more compelling. The use of artificial intelligence is but one component of Cathay Cargo’s more comprehensive digital transformation.

Airside activities have historically depended on a restricted amount of wireless connection, mostly via radio communications at the gates. This emphasizes how important it is to move important applications from antiquated legacy systems to a single cellular platform. Nonetheless, there is a compelling argument for cellular connectivity inside the terminal, since Wi-Fi and cable Internet connections have been widely used at airports. In addition to meeting present connection needs, private 5G may revolutionize terminal operations and prepare them for the future by allowing cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR). We’ve compiled a list of five essential use cases that will significantly benefit airport operators by using private 5G and improving passenger experiences both inside and outside of terminals. 1. Integrated retail innovation at airports with commercial operations In addition to being vital passenger comforts, retail and food and beverage outlets provide substantial income streams for airport owners. For smooth transactions, all of these business functions significantly depend on linked Point-of-Sale (POS) systems. These Point-of-Sale (POS) capabilities are now the main use case for connectivity in airport retail operations. Traditional Wi-Fi networks are faster, but 5G networks are superior because they can accommodate many mobile portable scanners at once and give dependable, secure communication. This facilitates safe credit card transactions, quick inventory updates, and effective, multilingual customer support via mobile applications for retail establishments. The ability to support new retail formats like 24-hour cashier-less shops (like Travelwell, an autonomous convenience store at Hong Kong International Airport) and provide chances to use cutting-edge technologies are what make 5G technology so revolutionary for the retail industry at airports. While some retailers are interested in trying virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) to provide better consumer experiences, others currently use AI and computer vision technologies to track the movements of their products and customers. 2. Security and monitoring using cameras For a long time, camera surveillance has been a dependable way to keep an eye on events inside terminals. However, because fiber cables are used to link most modern cameras, their installation is restricted to spaces with ethernet wiring. 5G-capable cameras, on the other hand, can be mounted anywhere. Because of construction or other causes that necessitate the swift deployment or relocation of cameras, airports often grow, alter their layouts, or encounter fluctuating security demands. 5G private networks make it easier to adjust to these changing needs. Private 5G networks provide scalability in addition to mobility, which makes it possible to install a big number of moveable surveillance cameras, such bodycams for security guards or automatically guided vehicles. These cameras are very useful for incident response and rapid inspections since they can follow moving people or items. Private 5G networks that support edge computing also enable AI analytics engines to examine and analyze video feeds almost instantly at the network edge, doing away with the need to send data to a central location. This feature opens the door to the use of high-bandwidth and ultra-low latency advanced vision technologies including real-time object tracking and face recognition. 3. Optimizing IoT gateway backhaul connection Modern airport technologies rely significantly on real-time data gathered from these devices, such as automation and face recognition for contactless check-ins. To create dependable models for AI applications, such as digital twin modeling, smart temperature and air quality controls, and more, airport operators want as much data as possible. To facilitate this expansion, a private 5G network makes sure airports have dependable, excellent coverage everywhere. IoT ecosystems are currently only partly wireless, with signals being processed and routed back to a wired hub or gateway. Increased flexibility may be accessed via private 5G connection, enabling airports to modify their equipment to fit changing conditions and plan for future growth. Furthermore, private 5G networks provide improved privacy and security thanks to strong encryption techniques that protect sensitive information. As airport technology advances, 5G networks must also be able to manage the high connection density seen at airports without sacrificing performance. Another justification for using a private 5G solution’s dedicated network resources is that airports may divert IoT traffic, freeing up Wi-Fi for visitor usage. Moreover, asset tracking—a critical procedure for effective airport operations—is made possible by IoT. The different solutions that make up today’s asset tracking systems aren’t always effective everywhere. For example, GPS signals may function properly outside but not inside terminals. The integration of several linked devices is made possible by private 5G networks, providing a dependable and safe method of tracking assets throughout the airport. A private 5G network may gather historical data on asset utilization in addition to real-time tracking. Afterwards, with the use of this data, choices on asset replacement and allocation can be made with knowledge, patterns may be found, and asset usage optimized. 4. More intelligent management of luggage Anybody who has ever traveled knows how frustrating a convoluted and unreliable system can be, as well as how crucial a flawless baggage handling experience is. Over time, reliance on barcode technology has led to a considerable number of bags that have been handled incorrectly. Tracking the whole journey—from curb to plane—is made simpler with private 5G. Radio waves are used by Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to identify individuals or items. Recent technological developments are predicted to result in a 25% decrease in luggage mishandling rates, which will save airlines a significant amount of money and, more significantly, improve customer satisfaction. RFID is already being used by a number of airports, including Gardermoen in Oslo, Schiphol in Amsterdam, and Newark International Airport, to monitor luggage throughout the sorting, loading into aircraft, and delivery processes. The inherent security, flexibility, and dependability of private 5G may greatly assist the adoption of RFID systems. Fully automated luggage loading will be possible in the future thanks to technologies like autonomous Unit Load Devices (ULDs), but they will need private 5G networks’ low latency and larger data capacity. Whatever the tracking method, private 5G networks streamline the procedure and lessen frequent problems. Airports may gather performance data by installing 5G-enabled sensors and scanners on their equipment. This will enable them to identify potential issues before they become serious disruptions. 5. Vital communications for day-to-day activities The days of legacy communication technologies are drawing to an end. Futureproofing is crucial as airports switch to new technologies for vital communications. Push-to-X (PTX), a crucial component of private 5G technology, enables instantaneous data, audio, or video transmission among many receivers, including airport personnel, security personnel, and emergency responders. This device has the potential to completely transform communication and operational effectiveness at airport terminals—places where prompt, coordinated reactions are crucial, such as during medical or security crises. The vast range of applications inside terminals, from real-time luggage monitoring to security surveillance, may be supported by private 5G networks thanks to their fast data transfer rates, low latency, enhanced security, high reliability, and support for a very large number of endpoints. A future where airports can operate with greater efficiency and connection for a simplified travel experience, from start to end, is promised by 5G networks, which provide unified connectivity that works across apps and with current connectivity like Wi-Fi.
