Who
Under the heading of proposition for Rotterdam the first Phase, the concept definition has been done by the two persons mentioned underneath, Aad van der Wijngaart and Roeland Hogt.
Two experienced persons working on innovation concept with the aim of changing the world for getting a healthy planet.
They both have done a preliminary phase as a teaser or as a wake up call that something has to be changed.
It was not the intention of the two to tell ”this is the only way to solve the problems”. This phase has been done with own “out of pocket money”.
Once the concept has been accepted by decision makers it is the intention to start an open Platform in order to optimize the concept idea to a full operational model.
We are inviting several specialists working for us in their own disciplines however under the responsibility of the platform committee.
Such specialists are: lawyer/accounting members, designers for shaping and statics. But also governmental responsibilities are needed like implementation engineers and funding specialists.
Those people are working in our open platform but under responsibility of the project managers of the platform.
Aad van der Wijngaart
The basic concept of the smart mobility city has been created by myself.
I am a mechanical engineer who was the first in Europe to sell industrial spray painting Robots (1972)
I introduced the black box principle where customers were invited to express themselves what they want to bring into the box and what were their whishes what will comes out as a result
Actually this exercise had the intention to bridge conventional un flexible processes to more modern flexible ones.
Actually what happened is that old economy systems are transferred into concept suitable for the new flexible economy.
The black box is the medium to create an atmosphere to generate new ideas and concepts which were initiated by the customers themselves.
With the present mobility concept proposed here it might come to the same situation.
Engineers and politicians of Rotterdam find an open source transforming the present situation into a new more flexible situation ready for the near future.
The aim is to bring the capability of Rotterdam in the spotlight for solving tremendous environmental problems like fine dust and CO2 emissions.
