ASCA's Smart Parking Community of Practice

ASCA's Smart Parking Community of Practice

Early in 2019 Neil Temperley established and now convenes a Smart Parking Community of Practice with the support of ASCA.  The purpose of the group is to provide mutual support for the "users" i.e. councils, of Smart Parking solutions and technologies.  In this webinar, Neil will explain how the group operates and some of the challenges and opportunities Australia facing in Smart Parking and mobility in general.

Date: Tuesday 10th of December, 12:30pm-1:30pm (AEDT) 

Topics covered will include:

  • What is the Smart Parking Community of Practice, why have one, and how does it operate?

  • Status of Smart Parking and technology in Australia today

  • Where next with Smart Parking?

  • Where does 'parking' fit into the broader future mobility and congestion picture?

  • What is flash parking?

  • What does the CoP want to see Australia do differently?

Presenter: Neil Temperley (PhD) - Future Cities Data & Technology Strategy; Transport & Logistics; Clusters & Living Labs

Dr Neil Temperley has operated at the intersection of successful publicly funded research innovation and the far more challenging real-world application of innovation for most of his working life at CSIRO, NICTA and most recently at Data61. He’s applied his hands-on experience and broad insights in facilitating collaborative projects in Transport and Logistics, smart devices (Embedded Systems & Internet of Things) and more recently to Smart Cities in general. Some of the Smart City insights have been captured in a recent white paper “Future Cities Thinking — Future Cities and Communities by Design. A fresh look at data and future cities”.

Neil understands first-hand the innovation journey from idea to prototype to final product — which is exactly the challenge that every aspiring smart city faces. As a result, with a strong customer focus and as a leading data & solution strategist, he now advocates a fresh approach, a rethink, applied to developing future cities — particularly the ‘mobility of people and things’.

At NICTA (then Data61) Neil helped found a cluster in smart electronics and led Australia’s first Living Lab which focused on Future Transport and Logistics. He has established now convenes a user-led ‘Smart Parking Community of Practice’. Recent consultancy work has established Neil as one of Australia’s lead investigators in understanding local governments and the challenges they face in becoming ‘smarter cities’.
