President's Message
President’s Pen 14th March 2017
 
Our guest speaker at last week’s meeting was Isaias Hernandez,
Project Manager with the Adelaide City Council working on their Smart City project.
 
The following is a quote from the Invest Adelaide website http://investadelaide.com.au
 
 
“A smart city is one that uses technology to transform its infrastructure and make better use of energy, resources and services.
Adelaide is well on the way to becoming a Smart City and, with an enormous capacity for innovation, will use technology to embrace a better connected, more sustainable future.”  
 
Smart Environmental Monitor 
This Smart Environment Monitor pilot project will collect a variety of information, which will be made available to the public via open data. 
The sensors will monitor a range of environmental factors such as CO2, dust, sound and temperature.  This data can then be used to create innovative solutions to improve the experience of the city. 
 
Smart Parking
The Smart Parking pilot project will provide city drivers with the ability to locate, pay and top up an on-street car park space via a mobile app on their smart phone or device. 
The technology will also aim to support parking and information officers to improve the management of on-street parking spaces by monitoring usage.
 
Smart Lighting
The Smart Lighting pilot project will enable energy consumption to be measured on a light by light basis as well as trial and test different lighting controls such as dimming the lights and the use of motion detectors.
Smart lighting will also ensure a safe environment for the public through:
Real-time monitoring of street lights with automated fault detection alerts and programmable remote controls. It will manage the brightness of the street lights, and can automatically adjust based on periods of inactivity.”
 
Adelaide looks set for an exiting future and a leadership role for innovation in Australia.
 
President’s thought for the week: ”The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.”  Oprah Winfrey

Jokes Corner

Lecture

On New Year's Eve, Daniel was in no shape to drive, so he sensibly left his van in the car park and walked home. As he was wobbling along, he was stopped by a police officer. 'What are you doing out here at four o'clock in the morning?' asked the officer.

'I'm on my way to a lecture,' answered Daniel.

'And who on earth, in their right mind, is going to give a lecture at this time on New Year's Eve?' enquired the police officer sarcastically.

'My wife,' slurred Daniel grimly.
