Don Tapscott Releases Comprehensive Report on How US Government Could Reimagine Digital Technology Policy

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Blockchain Research Institute, in collaboration with the Washington DC-based <a target="_blank"…

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Blockchain Research Institute, in collaboration with the Washington DC-based Chamber of Digital Commerce and other experts have produced a 120-page report on how the Biden-Harris administration could reimagine US technology strategy and policy—and take action to implement it.

Don Tapscott, Anthony Williams, and Kirsten Sandberg are the principal authors with a foreword by Tony Scott, former Federal CIO of the United States in the Obama-Biden administration.

The Biden-Harris administration arrives at a unique time in history. The pandemic exposed problems at all levels of government, creating a demand pull for transformation. The advent of the second era of the digital age, with a «trivergence» of blockchain, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things, is creating an innovation push.

The report advocates for government leaders to acknowledge our new digital realities and develop a comprehensive framework for ensuring justice, sustainability, citizen trust, social cohesion, and good governance. To do this, federal leaders must get up to speed quickly on these technologies.

The report outlines five broad areas of change, each of which addresses major priorities for the new administration. Among the dozens of recommendations are the following.

1. Ensure security, privacy, autonomy, and citizen-owned identities

2. Embrace the digital dollar and digital currency

3. Retool government services and service delivery to meet world-class digital standards

4. Engage citizens, hold elected officials accountable, and rebuild trust

5. Reboot America’s innovation economy to include a diversity of entrepreneurs

According to the report, digital transformation is not just about modernizing technology and tools. It is about adopting appropriate digital technologies to change how we work, deliver public value, and build prosperity through the emerging digital economy.

It also advises fresh new thinking about the role of the new digital age in the economy, body politic, and society. The goal is to ensure the fulfillment of the new promise of technology and the minimization of the dark side, the dystopian futures.

Leaders are encouraged to take personal responsibility to learn about these threats and opportunities and foster a bi-partisan culture of innovation and a commitment to change. Read the full report here.

Flodraulic Launches Next Generation Precision Snow Plow and Salter

GEORGETOWN, Ontario, Feb. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Flodraulic, a multi-dimensional fluid power company, recently announced the launch of its <a target="_blank"…

GEORGETOWN, Ontario, Feb. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Flodraulic, a multi-dimensional fluid power company, recently announced the launch of its Archimedes Precision Spreader, a next generation precision snow plow and salter. Working with the University of Guelph, the Town of Halton Hills, and the City of Guelph, Flodraulic has redesigned salt management to accurately measure the salt applied on roadways in real-time.

Unlike current road salters, the Archimedes Precision Spreader uses a LiDAR-based sensor array to measure the salt applied on roadways. This sensor data is then instantaneously fed back into the control system to dynamically control salt application rates to be as precise as possible. This solution can also detect over-salting, under-salting, as well as blockages.

In tandem, Flodraulic also developed a cloud-based command structure and web center that can assign salt application rates to specific GPS coordinates. This solution allows operations teams to dynamically raise and lower salt requirements at any location based on weather, risk, and environmentally sensitive areas. The role of salt adjustment has always been solely the responsibility of the operators, who need to navigate dangerous roadways while simultaneously plowing snow.

«Snow and ice vehicles are large and by definition are only operated when road conditions are at their most dangerous,» said Chris Passmore, director of technologies at Flodraulic. «The Archimedes Precision Spreader will increase the safety of drivers by almost entirely removing salt control from their operational procedure. The municipalities will now be conscious of salt usage and environmentally sensitive areas without adding a layer of complexity for their drivers.»

Through Ontario’s Autonomous Vehicle Innovation Network (AVIN), led by the Ontario Centre of Innovation (OCI), Flodraulic received support to commercialize this advanced R&D, which otherwise may not have been possible.

«No matter what the weather condition, Ontario is committed to keeping roads and highways safe,» said Caroline Mulroney, Ontario minister of transportation. «Through the Autonomous Vehicle Innovation Network, our government is proud to support innovative initiatives like this project by Flodraulic that could make the important job of road maintenance crews safer and easier during the winter months.»

Natural waterways and wetlands are being salinized at alarming rates from winter road salt application. With this solution salinization can be cut by up to two thirds, in turn helping to preserve wildlife and maintain drinking water supply.

«Winter road maintenance is a major concern in Ontario and Northern climates around the world and Flodraulic’s application of connected and autonomous technologies offers significant safety, cost and environmental benefits,» said Vic Fedeli, Ontario minister of economic development, job creation and trade. «The Autonomous Vehicle Innovation Network is weaving together Ontario’s strengths in information technology and advanced manufacturing to assist in the province’s economic recovery from COVID-19 and advance our leadership in the latest transportation and infrastructure technologies.»

These advanced salt controls have the potential to allow for more accurate municipality salt usage. The University of Guelph has run tests and determined some salt trucks use more salt than necessary on roadways. This is often attributed to combating blockages, erring on the side of caution, or proactive applications from weather forecasts. The closed-loop control technology in these new trucks with the Archimedes Precision Spreader will automatically respond to blockages for the operator and will recommend an application of salt that will use less salt than current trucks on the road while maintaining the same level of public safety.

Flodraulic set out to create a semi-automated snowplow truck. After rigorous development, commissioning, and field testing, Flodraulic’s patent-pending control system is now on trucks and proving to be successful.
