Our our our next session as
you can tell from your program

is about some innovations and
transport and way have

replaced them with this afternoon or

in the daily process that
in their work situations

of looking at these developing ideas and

what's out there and what's coming and
so we ask them to come to the day and

share with you some of the things that
they're doing very thinking about.

That will help us broaden
our horizons a little bit

in terms of our own thinking about
what may be possible in the future.

The three people or Rick Rich.

Mary director of business development and
Siemens

micro One director of advanced customer
technology Duke Energy and just your work.

How about the electric vehicle
infrastructure commercial so

you are at G.E. Energy.

You can't read more about their
background than what they do or

how they prefer to be
addressed in your and

your program but I won't take
up their time and doing that and

they will speak to you in the in
the order that I introduced them and

we did with the last panel might have
finished rule in or to your question.

Well

this presentation comes
up I just want to go

back to the some of the discussion at
the tail end of the previous panel.

We were talking about
primarily high speed rail

challenges that high speed rail
facing in a regulatory environment

perspective and a mayor's comment
on that but I want to share.

There are a lot of bright
spots in the southeast region.

If you look just to the north
into North Carolina.

You know there are there are hurting
high speed investments to

use existing freight rail right of
way in conjunction with the freight

is really dancing passenger
rail in that state and

it's just one model of being
able to implement a solution.

If you looked into our self into
Florida Florida stating a very different

approach florist looking between Tampa and
Orlando as an investment

where you really feel so they're looking
at starting from a blank sheet of paper.

That's the neighbors to discuss and

they're looking to implement
transcends train technology

that's capable of greater than two hundred
miles per hour so you know there's two

different models right here just
to our north and just to yourself.

It certainly should be looked at
as examples of different ways this

can be done.

The other bright spot certainly
right here in our backyard

here is the city of Atlanta at lower
speeds than a street car network but

much critical piece of the transportation
puzzle because that less.

Mile is really the ruler.

For much of the high speed evolution.

You know we need to have
the mobility within the city center

high speed gets you from city to city so
that once you're in that city

you've chosen relative primary
mode of transportation.

There is that next leg and
next leg and I'll have no

zero point one one final comment
that I want to make previously

as well as in the discussion
is this whole concept of

the train technology in absence
of the regulatory environment

seeming to build strength as
a manufacturer trains around the world

look to you really sheer
investment in research and

development on specific
trains that technology X.

Mas value to our customers the United
States high speed is an emerging

merging market in the rest of the world
high speed is business as usual.

So two hundred mph train
sets are being built.

You're all more or
been built by Siemens every day

we have over two hundred high speed
trains that are World War to live or

countries like China Russia Spain Germany
all these countries and

what the lesson from Europe can be
learned in that at the boundary

of each country in the early ninety's
when high speed rail was involved.

There was different technology so
Siemens train that got to the border

between Germany and Switzerland would
not necessarily be able to operate.

That was not due to track meet or
anything.

The standard electrification
system wasn't so what we did as

a worldwide supplier trainset technologies
we built trains that for different.

Electrification systems on or
off systems are more.

Well you can imagine that this was costly.

There was a lot of engineering bar and
there was the weight issue.

You know vision of high speed rail just
like with trains a very very very quick

and I got all this technology just because
of regulatory environment really set

the technology back to what Europe did
the car the countries got together and

it created a standard specification T.S.I.
and what that's best for

cation says it sets the the regulatory
environment from a technology

perspective across all of Europe and
so now the train starts its trip and

spends an ingenue into other
countries across borders and

that's all I think there's a lesson to
be learned there especially as forever

ministration running the junction with
the state of all the high speed programs

in the United States that we don't
have to rely on those lessons here for

STATE reaches the border of Georgia and
with the North Carolina.

That would be a travesty of those
characters to the whole New York region.

So those are just a couple of
things I was looking to share

so to kick this off by looking at this

from from what makes this
environment now so critical and

really it's the need to do more good
more people are getting you know around

the region and
some of the some of the main

pillars of causing this is
where we live in new trends and

that has to do with the growing
population world wide and

often we're getting older
with advances in science and

medicine we're living longer and
that's actually burdening the call.

Elation in the city centers.

We also see a trend or
arena zation So more and

more of the world's population is living
in cities and their definition of cities

is growing the borders of both
rise the city is growing but

that puts an undue burden on the higher
the structure network or the water or

transportation and
then there's the whole globalization

in the world economy and the challenges
that faces different regions and

finally of course is
the responsible use of

responsible protection of our
resources and the reduction of C O two

emissions that primarily in many
cases come from French transportation

clearly transportation alone belief
is what makes the city livable and

it really drives the economic growth
within the city or the mega region and

also as I mentioned is the primary
user of greenhouse gases.

But this is not unique issue for
the United States.

So a study was conducted and

we looked at the entire piece
these regions in these countries

across the world and you can see that

throughout the world
the growth in population and

the yearly growth of free trade places
when the need to move goods is growing in

terms and by these two colleagues here so
it's a it's a global issue.

So really the challenge
becomes how we define

mobility solutions that benefit
everyone and is even feasible to do so.

I mean shall.

And he is this really to do this in to
Bill solutions that do this in a in a very

efficient safe manner and
address the needs to move those people and

goods from where they need
to go across the region.

So how do we do this and answer within
Siemens in the we're approaching

the world wide issue is what
we call complete mobility and

what this is it looks to be the most cost
efficient and effective measures and

solutions to specifically address
this growth in this demand and

the key goals here are to officially
utilize all those of transportation.

It's not one Transportation Alternatives
the expense of another but

it's really I mean evil all of
these transportation modes for

the purpose and for
the choice of the actual individual or

the company that's trying to move their
goods and services rail one aspect or

below certainly critical airplane and
container ship transport

is critical and we do this through
a couple of different ways to do this.

Both with technologies specific to
each mode of transportation but

also through my team for sure.

And now for the government networks.

So I just think just

a a brief overview of the to try
to help visualize this within

the Siemens portfolio we dress each of
these different modes and that could be

in the passenger goods transport with the
rolling stock the vision rebuild trains

the Traffic Management where we develop
freeway traffic management solutions to

operate the road network very efficient
airport logistics and helping.

To automate airports to move
to to have that entire network

operate efficiently the railroad
infrastructure train signalling control

how we use the listing that's been
really worth more efficient manner and

post automation how do we
move our male scene and

actually has automated systems using now

working with the post automation division
that process ninety percent of U.S. mail.

So the key concept of complete mobility
is really creating a systematic

interlinked mobility solution and
then a really focuses on the need for

here it is so first it's the it's
the metros in the cities and

the urban or
out of people within the urban or

the next is how do we internet
the cities across the region

certainly important is
the movement of infrastructure and

the infrastructure supporting
the movement of goods and

lastly how to do this in
the energy efficient.

So I just want to reach
one of these one by one.

So we'll start with the cities.

So in the cities really we

look at two primary technologies
to address the needs of the city

the first is is like rail
street car combination and

really this gives you that last mile
connectivity to your destination and

you create an attractive development
longitudinally within the sector.

So I like inner city rail
where you belong in a more

spot around a station in an area.

Well this is with streetcar networks
you actually develop in higher order.

So the value capture of that
type of development is very.

I think that they get it also enhanced
as transit oriented development and

livable cities concept.

So the picture of the top.

I think is the best example.

So this is for women and
it really shows here within this picture

all of the various modes that
the city residents can choose to use

whether that be will whether that's by
walking by by by their automobiles and

the street car which really creates
a really nice free skate and

the instead it's what Portland Oregon
was able to do was quite nice is

they actually hit many of the features and
evil a technology so

the overhead cabinetry system
is built into the tree scheme.

So you really don't even see
much of that work and it just

creates this really vibrant feel if anyone
happened before and I definitely recommend

this a wonderful city to visit between
the library and street car network.

It's just a wonderful experience and
the nightlife and a vibrant see as well.

The other thing that's there.

That was done very well
the planners important is

they looked at the order of development
and as they planned the network.

They actually increased the take the value

area by having parallels three or

segments so when you look at
walking from the street car or

drops it was to your destination
your actual walking distances

reduced because you know also it was three
blocks away parallel street right now.

I think one of the most important
things as a rolling stock

manufacturer is is the statics of the
vehicle and this is critical to customers.

So this is a real opportunity when you.

Combs to merge in high speed is to
street car and comes to life right.

And I think it was mentioned
earlier the discussion about

the public may or
may not recognize these different poses.

I think the rally thing and
oftentimes the break.

I think of the locomotive pulling
a couple of a mile long train or

they think of a commuter line.

So by level couple by level coaches
enfold by every one of the motor so

customer acceptance usability
of a modern street car is really

one of those things that
until the public sees it.

They really don't.

May not have an appreciation for

what we're talking about we're
talking about a street car.

You know where they should streetcar So
some people also think about the heritage

of the street cars that operated in
the world for example we heard street.

So the march street car and

this is this is a picture of
the scenes at seventy street cars and

we work with our engineers in second
medical for you as well as the B.M.W.

design group to come up with a real
a static look on the exterior

sleeve also a blow for
boarding critical when it comes

to the streetcar because you want to have
four sections so it's at current level and

you step right into the pivot
without having to go up steps.

That's very very important for

quick on quick off type service
that you've seen a street car and

again this is taking the car service
proven platform that's been used by cities

like Charlotte Salt Lake San Diego Houston
and others and would really created.

You know that we have to look out and

this one here are right down
the in terms of ocean systems and

you know what we've changed
is the exterior and the rock.

And if we move to how
we connect the cities.

So with high speed rail and
stuff overshadow all other forms of

transportation at the moment because
of the huge investment of money that

the steel T. has to really share a high
speed rail for us to cross the nation.

Siemens work with the U.S. Conference of
Mayors to support an economic study that

what are the benefits and we look at the
study group look at four specific areas.

Look at L.A. Chicago Orlando and
Albany New York and wanted to capture

what would each metro area to realize
by you commenting high speed rail

and the key findings for
each of those cities is shown up here.

So primarily it was it was new jobs.

It was job creation in
the construction period and

they were significant
if you look at Orlando.

They're looking at the free
years of construction.

They're talking about in the neighborhood
of fifteen to I'm sorry.

Betty to ten thousand jobs
just in structure period.

That's three years of construction
here and your job then when you look

at the direct jobs associated with
maintaining it's affording the operations

of the high speed system and the number
of jobs increases dramatically and

then there's the indirect there's the
indirect organic growth that happens all

around the high speed rail line and
that leads to new business sales

the gross domestic product improvements
and of course associated wages.

So I have a have a clip here that all.

It will help your hear from
each of the four mayors

in how the feet is transforming New York
tonight Hebrew national treasure with

the most votes but
more are on the stage during this mayor

we see live every day like to
work out why we're there and

see the city and
stop the crowd were there for a good show.

Just from our list if you want to
know what other Bush the first

person people get out
of the basketball and

i Pad What trading Severus or

better will be for the cells at speeds
over one hundred miles an hour or

more if you stuff the motor for
building a new system a high speed rail

will be faster to keep users going
the more everybody is reading the article

he says everybody stands a better deal for
bit like cars here

that you shall foresee
that I'll never get around

back to our high school on job creation on

the number of jobs created just
one day from Los Angeles to

talk jobs to his oldest
daughter to the bar for

the means of transportation using just the
door from the road we're losing jobs more

though I think really it's a lot
of water bottles that were.

You know sold over the was you
know had the worst of this

in this bill thought it was
major populations with water.

We're very interested grading I.

What's more

it's around the world.

What we're seeing of course our home our

No one is born more

or less to

get a picture from really

sure what I'd really like
these different cities and

what's always interesting listening to
the mayors of the different expectations.

What their specific
measures area whether it's

whether it's the creation of
the medical centers in their community.

They all see the benefit and of course
addressing the ingestion in mobility

within the city of but
it's just something that

while they are from Albany we
planned this we study this

it's time to move and that's really
where this country stands right now

as we look at planning studies
going back to Florida for

a Laura plan their high speed rail
network high speed rail right there.

I think the mayor earlier said took thirty
years to build the Interstate System large

planning thirty years ahead to
shots that it tried to implement

the first time through public
really a public funded effort.

It was killed by the governor and
it did not move forward.

The second time around when we were
in a traditional private way of

where of the private enterprise really
going to take much of the risk and

actually build the system that also
failed because all street said there

wasn't enough there to one best and here
we are again and what's different now but.

Wasn't there is a move on the U.S.
the of T.

to set the vision he said
this is an emerging market.

This will happen in the United States as
you heard Mr ation talk about Florida

being to take advantage of the fact
that they didn't plan for thirty years.

So what they were able to do is when
the money was available from the U.S.

to go to it was time to
submit their applications.

What they had is they had a job already
been through the environmental clearance

process for all of you where our long it
takes to plan a transportation program

and they were able to demonstrate that
number one environmental triply or

number to be right away was preserved for
thirty years.

So this train is going to
run interstate for me.

All of that each time they
expanded the roadway each

time the end of the lane interstate for
no matter what Florida D.O.T.

said we're going to reserve that driveway.

One day to speed rail cars on the floor.

So the set of vision.

They continue to perseverance continue
to crack at it till this happens and

all the sudden there is an investment and
there's a vision.

I think the story presentation
in the previous panel

off a lot of the political scene
here we are again are about to go to

implementation in Florida and
there's a new governor and

that governor may or may not or
I just believe where he wants to study it.

Governor like he wants to study it and he
wants to make sure that there's a business

motivation for him for investing this
money in high speed rail in Tampa.

So eventually is a good idea.

We don't know but
there's certainly a lot of hopes and

the most dramatic point of all of
this is when you look at the program

Florida will be the benchmark Florida
will set the stage for what I see.

Well is America because it is the only
project that's ready to go to implement

station in the United States with
train sets and train technology for

the two hundred miles for
now if we want it is the next best but

it's such a vast area and there are so
much that they're doing from

an environmental standpoint that it may or
may not proceed.

So we're watching this and

as as the video talked about we're
building trains in the United States.

Now depending on where the actual
Federal Railroad Administration comes

in terms of what is the technology.

What is the technology that the road
ministration Lashley while for

the year to operate on this line.

Well that's going to dictate number
of manufacturers that pursue

this work out how they can
localize that factory.

If you just just one of

the coming out of the top
two hundred train sets but

we don't know whether or
have to live or you know high speed.

The rioting.

Well what we're talking about in terms
of the order of magnitude Florida is

five trains.

So how do you make a business
decision to localize

high speed rail production in
the United States in order

trends California there's
no promise of California.

There's another line in
Florida to go to Miami.

So these are things that the business
community is is really grappling with

how do we how do we make this investment
before with this public private

partnership which is
the delivery model for

this project at the same time
there's a lot of uncertainty.

So the other area of focus
on is is infrastructure and

logistics and here's where we start
to talk about freight movement and

the compatibility between freight and
passenger service.

So really really there are enabling

technologies that come
that come about in order

to allow Actually the service to
co-exist on freight network and

also to more efficiently
manage the existing network.

Whether that be a Metro like Marta or
a traditional C.S.

ex freight rail line and
these two technologies

are communication based trying to
troll and positive trend trouble so

any communication based training
control this is a overall solution that

really changes the way people think
about how we manage our around that

in a traditional signaling environment.

There are the wayside signals that
everyone sees the operator looks sad he

determines whether or not he can actually
operate his train to a certain area

that area's called a fixed law.

So he the motor will actually get.

Durance into that fixed block it does not
matter that six o'clock is a fixed light

that would imply a new appliance Well that
will remain operate saturating at six

o'clock and
he operates that he has that clearance and

know the train them to that
clock while he's in it.

Whether he's operating at ten mph and
takes a long time to get to the other end

of it was offering a seventy
mph It makes no difference.

The guy runs going to get a red
pill the players without So

you really start to see a separation
of trains where there's a capacity.

Well what C.V.T.
supervise is what's called a moving lot.

So now multiple trains can enter
that same physical real state

of the track and they operate in
such a way that they know the system

knows the performance characteristics of
both of those trains knows how much legs

it needs to stop at the speed
of authorized to go and

it matches that are automatic
train operation.

So what you really need here is C.T.C.

Abel's us to manage your existing
infrastructure in a much more efficient

manner you can look at either
maximizing amount of passengers

the system can use by really acting trains
then maintaining that physical separation.

That's needed or
to look at more energy use and

it will actually slow a train down
before it gets to that time so

that way it maximizes minimize
the amount of exhilaration you do as it

nears the next station the other
technology is positive train control

so positive train control
is actually rational and

this is part of the federal regulatory
uncertainty that I was mentioning.

So we're ever the freight railroad is
going to operate passenger service and

into the Atlantic what
they now have to do is.

You know we have to implement positive
train control twenty fifty and

this is the way in which
the freight trains and

the passenger trains operate on
the same road that we're safe and

implementing the rules for
what we talk about this technology not yet

written so we are looking at
positive train control and

several other manufacturers are looking
at positive train control and

we're developing what how we intend to
meet that mandate by twenty fifteen.

But at the same time.

Right.
We don't quite know what the best

patient will ultimately be so there is

the entire real mystery the freight
operators see this is a bit of a burden.

We talked about you know they needed
something some platforms might have

a reluctance to open up their own
capital service with passenger

train the whole level of
oversight didn't exist all around

the first operation and
this is critical because there are for

profit business and
if you consider these things.

So when you look at the positive
train control mandate

where they don't have signals
on their line and everyone.

Some of you may have seen the movie
ensembles years for the train running

loose along the line P.T.C.
is one measure.

You know where that Arenas and
trolling for a very rare.

Right now can operate without signals and
they provide.

It's called a movement
authority in the motor is told.

You can go from Mile Post A to mile
post be great at thirty mph and

you know and he knows this dispatch
told me is your only train that's saying

go until he gets that mile or so

these are just two examples of signalling
technology and then of course there is.

There's going to G. efficiency and

a couple of technologies that are better
are utilizing the modern trend said

is the whole concept of rejecting her for
the electrical electric train and

solar arrays there was a power
from the grid and use it to

drive the motors and propulsion system but
one naturally breaks with electric braking

actually lets that in
let's that works out or

just be lost so they drain
manufacturers now let's go regenerative

braking where on board or
back to the grid we save that energy and

use it for other trains in the same
segment that are suffering so

they saw a train is breaking it feeds the
power back into the grid the other train

in that same general said he draws from no
power and does not pull from power grid it

is basically using the wasted power that
would have been with the other train

the other concept is that
actually store the hour or so

this is interesting because this
opens up an entire new type of

Streetcar potential one
that is possible to our E.

train for
a limited distance without a recap.

So there are some very and
very there are some just three states that

did not want to see catenary
there were some streets caves

because of the geometry of
the alignment and clearance with maybe

overpass that you cannot you know have
no room to have a great catenary or

if you're crossing one street or
with a freight railroad.

Sort of river early life come across so

these are old technology this technology
of storing energy on board the train.

Lets you run for
about a mile and store it out

till it's if it's a this is really a scene
changer in terms of how we power trains.

Right now there's only a couple of
implementations around the world.

We're doing a full implementation and
listening.

Of course we manufacture trains and we do
with an environmentally responsible way.

So if you look at the Valar which is our
high speed trains that about ninety eight

percent of that train set can be
recycled at the end of its useful life.

So this is this is credible because

it's obviously a sustainable
transportation move but

it also limits the impact of that
over the life of the train and

then finally I think it's important
to recognize that that we only build

trains that are environmentally
fission but

we also do it in a responsible manner.

That's our goal in Sacramento California.

It's twenty five acres of property.

We have the solar panel on
the final assembly building and

also on the parking lot that generates
forty percent of the energy for

the plants these were actually
using our sun to build trains and

to do it and
in effect we see you can readily see it.

Thank you.
