KINTO Mobility’s Post

Years ago I created a Team that worked out the idea for the puller on the right. We were an mixed group with each a different angle on what to show case at the games in Paris and H2. Non of the individual ideas found enough follower but I saw the potential in the combination of the others coworkers and dropped mine completely. For 6 months we worked in our private time to create this puller idea and were selected to make a plan for introduction to real life. We absorbed an other team with a competitive design but wasn’t so feasable. The Team doubled but my original team halved quickly due to time constraints and new extra workload. I had passion for the idea so did all to kick off a well oiled team with the newcomers and improved our initial idea with their best practices. I became the support member also as there was a beter candidate to be the face of the team. My multi-skilled background in manufacturing, design, quality and purchasing helped to decide the make or outsource decissions and sourcing patner selection. I still remember my last days at Toyota on a very hot parking lot, putting the executives in these pullers to convince them and filling in surveys with collegues issues as new users to find our design blindspots 🥵. I left the team with a good start to manufacture in quality and a good push from the top in TME to support the project. Now the games are comming and happy to see the result. Fun to see each members skill from styling the covers, technical design, to the hard negotiations on budgets that lead to the wheelchair puller. Not sure how and who did what over the last years but GOOD JOB 😉!!! You guys make my day, much more then any new car I worked on!!! Especially the new mobility idea by ordering on an app is what I like most about the execution of the initial idea, just wonderfull. PS: team mates, I hope you sent a gift to the paraplegic persons we interviewed. We never could have gotten this far without their input and open discussion about their strugles. If not do it :-), get them in your product. Sorry long post 🤩

“500 Toyota Mirai HYDROGEN CARS to be used for 2024 Olympics and Paralympics” October 2, 2023 - By JOHN MAX “The automaker has stated that its H2 vehicles will be used for the zero-emission fleet in Paris. Toyota is an Olympic and Paralympic Games Worldwide Partner and has announced that it will be supplying 500 of its Mirai #hydrogencars to be used as the official fleet for the games in Paris next year.” “The goal is to offer mobility solutions to support decarbonization of the major sporting event.” “”In 2018, Akio Toyoda announced a major turning point for the Toyota Group: to transform the company from a car manufacturer to a mobility company,” said Toyota France Chair and CEO Frank Marotte. “With this new direction, the aim is to go beyond the boundaries of our industry by building a better society, based on #carbonneutrality.”” “Toyota’s announcement explained that achieving carbon neutrality requires an approach taking several paths. This means that while hydrogen cars will play an important role, so will #batteryelectricvehicles, #pluginhybrids and #fullhybrids as well. In this way, consumers across all regions will be able to select an option that will best suit their transportation needs.” “The Toyota Mirai hydrogen cars will provide Olympians and Paralympians with #zeroemissiontransportation.” “The fleet of Mirai sedans will be refueled using #H2 produced using #electrolysis powered by #renewableenergy.” “This fuel will be supplied by Air Liquide, an Official Hydrogen Supporter of the #OlympicGames and #ParalympicGames #Paris2024.” “At Paris 2024, Toyota is preparing to show its innovative capabilities in the development of #hydrogenpoweredmobilitysolutions. This commitment will be demonstrated through the Mirai hydrogen cars, together with other products,” said Toyota Motor Europe Head of the Olympic and Paralympic Division Cédric Borremans.” https://lnkd.in/e3vZnzrP?

The webinar titled "Innovative Traffic Solutions for the Olympics and Paralympics," hosted by Engineers Australia, featured a trio of seasoned speakers. Transmax, a Queensland-based company, is leading the charge in developing cutting-edge traffic solutions for the upcoming 2032 Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games. Their platform, Streams NextGen, takes a customer-centric approach, emphasizing adaptability and innovation. It features a unified user experience design system, data-driven analytics, and modern architecture to enhance user experiences, ensure data security, and provide system resilience and scalability. Transmax has gone the extra mile by developing applications like Smart Motorways and Coordinated and Adaptive Ramp Metering to optimize traffic flow and alleviate congestion. Their overarching goal is to deliver a secure and efficient transport service while addressing challenges like increased traffic congestion and accommodating non-local drivers. The approach leverages video analytics and AI-driven predictive analytics to bolster road safety, identify critical conflicts, and proactively prevent accidents. Smart technology is also harnessed to ensure safe work zones during the Olympic and Paralympic events. Jason Deller, in particular, highlighted the manifold benefits of smart traffic solutions, emphasizing their pivotal role in enhancing safety and efficiency during the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Real-life examples were provided, showcasing tangible reductions in conflicts and accidents, the real-time monitoring of pedestrian safety, advancements in edge devices, and the paramount importance of active transport and pedestrian initiatives. Beyond that, the webinar underscored the value of smart traffic solutions in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and travel times.

I have just attended Engineers Australia's webinar 'Engineering the Olympics and Paralympics: Smart traffic solution'. I would like to give a big thank you to Megan Purdy for moderating, and a big thank you to those who spoke: Andrew Paynter - CTO at Transmax; who spoke about their software product; STREAMS Smart Motorways solution which is helping to move millions of commuters per day whilst prioritising safety (with a 30% accident reduction) and convenience (with a 42% reduction in transit time) on established sites in a cost-effective manner. Simon Washington - Founder and CEO at Advanced Mobility Analytics Group (AMAG); who spoke about the significant challenges that occur in the games such as; increased major constructions, an increase in drivers and traveller's a-familiar in local behaviours; laws and more, and atypical demand on the transport network. He also spoke about their AI solution which measures conflicts within traffic networks to predict the likelihood of crashes. Jason Deller - Customer Success Manager and Transport engineer at AMAG; who spoke about how AMAG's smart traffic AI can be used for the Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games I found it very interesting how the companies solutions could interact with one another - Transmax developing a software solution and AMAG pioneering the use of AI to proactively predict when and where interference is needed to improve road safety and efficiency. Both prioritising proactive solutions, one which predicts needs and the other which react to existing and predicted needs. I am very confident that the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games - and the future of global transport management - will run smoothly with these brilliant and innovative companies directing the way. Thanks again, to those involved.
