0:00:01 > 0:00:06Her the wait is over. This week, Click takes a ride around a smarter
0:00:06 > 0:00:10city, where queues I giving way to big data. We will also breathe
0:00:10 > 0:00:14heavily over the uplifting technology that keeps England's
0:00:14 > 0:00:21finest on the ball. Or of that, plus the latest tech
0:00:21 > 0:00:31news and a music tutorial that makes playing guitar as easy as E,
0:00:31 > 0:00:32
0:00:32 > 0:00:37A, D, G, B. Welcome to Click. These days, more
0:00:37 > 0:00:42and more ordinary objects are going online. They're giving of
0:00:42 > 0:00:46information about where they are and what they are doing. The grand
0:00:46 > 0:00:51vision is that one day all of this data will be gathered and processed
0:00:51 > 0:01:01and used to make our lives easier and to help make systems and whole
0:01:01 > 0:01:06
0:01:06 > 0:01:12cities run smoother and smarter. Cities generate an enormous amount
0:01:12 > 0:01:17of data every day. In London, 8 million residents can already find
0:01:17 > 0:01:21out where and when trains, buses and planes will arrive. The
0:01:21 > 0:01:25information is all there, available through a multitude of applications
0:01:25 > 0:01:31and websites. It is not only the transport network that broadcasts
0:01:31 > 0:01:36its status. We do as well. If you own a smartphone, for example,
0:01:36 > 0:01:46chances are your location is being collected and used into live
0:01:46 > 0:01:51
0:01:51 > 0:01:56traffic information on Google Maps. Parking spaces are also getting
0:01:56 > 0:02:04smarter. In this exclusive part of town, an exclusive trial is helping
0:02:04 > 0:02:07dapper clientele find a well- fitting spot. These sensors in
0:02:07 > 0:02:12parking bays report back their availability every few seconds,
0:02:12 > 0:02:17allowing visitors to find vacant spaces. But it is not just about
0:02:17 > 0:02:21packing right now. These graphs should give an insight into the
0:02:21 > 0:02:26likelihood of finding a space at any time of the day you choose.
0:02:26 > 0:02:31Over time, this collected data can help the council make better
0:02:31 > 0:02:38parking arrangements. What we have been able to establish is that we
0:02:38 > 0:02:42probably do not have the packing right. We might have too many Bays
0:02:42 > 0:02:46of certain kinds. Perhaps we can use this to reconfigure the street
0:02:46 > 0:02:53and provide more spaces for people that need them at the right hands
0:02:53 > 0:02:57of the day. Smart packing, smart buses, smart trains, smart cars.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01But what is not so smart is the fact that all of these projects a
0:03:01 > 0:03:06separate ventures and do not talk to each other. That means in London,
0:03:06 > 0:03:13at least, the data generated by all these applications is the only
0:03:13 > 0:03:18thing guaranteed to flow freely. For a city to get smarter, you need
0:03:18 > 0:03:25to draw them altogether. That is why we have come here, to Dublin.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Like many cities, it already has a traffic cameras, sensors on the
0:03:29 > 0:03:34tarmac to protect traffic flow, buses reporting their positions
0:03:34 > 0:03:38back to base. But crucially, this city has volunteered itself to be a
0:03:38 > 0:03:43test bed, to see what happens when you gather all that information
0:03:43 > 0:03:49together and see whether it can be used to predict the future.
0:03:49 > 0:03:54At IBM's Dublin Research Centre, a new traffic management system is
0:03:54 > 0:03:59analysing the City's circulation, trying to spot patterns in the ebb
0:03:59 > 0:04:03and flow of the traffic. Incidents, accidents, closures and weather can
0:04:03 > 0:04:07all have effects beyond their immediate surroundings. And what
0:04:07 > 0:04:11happens in the cards to a particular combination of events,
0:04:11 > 0:04:17the system should help officials for predict how a problem might
0:04:17 > 0:04:24affect the City's nervous system. It will not just rely on Dublin's
0:04:24 > 0:04:30official eyes and ears. It will also mash up social networking and
0:04:30 > 0:04:34other information streams. It will assimilate all of this data into a
0:04:34 > 0:04:39big picture, meaning potential problems can be spotted and
0:04:39 > 0:04:43resolved before they even become problems. Taking that data and
0:04:43 > 0:04:47breaking it down and building on it and finding the relationship
0:04:47 > 0:04:54between weather and how people drive, what is the relationship
0:04:54 > 0:05:00between temperature and humidity? What is the relationship between
0:05:00 > 0:05:05the time of day? We need enough data to build models that can help
0:05:05 > 0:05:12us to predict and optimise. That is part of the research, to say that
0:05:12 > 0:05:17we need effective volumes of data and effective algorithms so that we
0:05:17 > 0:05:21can do predictions that we have not seen the data for. The optimal goal
0:05:21 > 0:05:26is to use the City's existing infrastructure more intelligently
0:05:26 > 0:05:31rather than dismantling it. If a train is delayed, for example, the
0:05:31 > 0:05:37boss should know that it needs to wait so it does not travel and tea
0:05:37 > 0:05:42and leave the next one overcrowded. -- entity. This application, still
0:05:42 > 0:05:46in the early days of development, uses sophisticated production
0:05:46 > 0:05:51algorithms to minimise journey times and, just as importantly,
0:05:51 > 0:05:56waiting times. It will know about any congestion and use historical
0:05:56 > 0:06:02data to tell you how that might affect your on returning and make a
0:06:02 > 0:06:09reliable assessment of your arrival time. -- estimate. It can guess
0:06:09 > 0:06:13whether there will be a space to dock your bikes at any time of day.
0:06:14 > 0:06:20Increasingly it will be a more personal kind of system. Your boss
0:06:20 > 0:06:24is there in five minutes, off you go. You're on the bus and they will
0:06:24 > 0:06:30say that there is an accident overhead and you're better off
0:06:30 > 0:06:37getting off. All through the journey you're being provided with
0:06:37 > 0:06:46information and providing information back. Maybe when you
0:06:46 > 0:06:55say that this is a slow bus or a good route. You will get a pain
0:06:55 > 0:07:00singer better last bus is ten minutes away. -- been saying Europe.
0:07:00 > 0:07:06A smarter city is also a greener city. Tour traffic jams mean fewer
0:07:06 > 0:07:09idling vehicles spewing harmful emissions into pedestrian airspace.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14Current attempts to reduce pollution have not proved quite as
0:07:14 > 0:07:18smart. In Mexico City and Beijing, for example, each car is forbidden
0:07:18 > 0:07:23for driving for one day per week depending on the last digit of its
0:07:23 > 0:07:29licence plate. That just leads to drivers avoiding the ban by find a
0:07:29 > 0:07:33second car with a different licence plate. It is in the developing
0:07:33 > 0:07:39world where IBM hopes to make the biggest impact. These are the
0:07:39 > 0:07:44movements of the citizens of a city in the Ivory Coast captured by
0:07:44 > 0:07:54monitoring mobile phone signals. By observing the flow of the Work Day,
0:07:54 > 0:07:55
0:07:55 > 0:08:00bus routes can be extended to ease the to congestion. By 2050, 9
0:08:00 > 0:08:04billion people, 70% of us, will live in cities. The most expansion
0:08:04 > 0:08:08is expected in the developing world. By helping to plan and ship the
0:08:08 > 0:08:15circulation now, those cities stand more of a chance of breeding more
0:08:15 > 0:08:19freely for longer. Next up, a look at this week's tete
0:08:19 > 0:08:22news. A student falsely linked to the
0:08:22 > 0:08:26Boston Marathon bombings on a social media site has been found
0:08:26 > 0:08:34dead by members of his university rowing team in a river near Rhode
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Island. It is not clear exactly when he died. He was one of two
0:08:38 > 0:08:44people wrong they identified a suspect by users of the website
0:08:44 > 0:08:53read it. They had already apologised to his family after the
0:08:53 > 0:08:58discussions provoked an online witch hunt. And another news agency
0:08:58 > 0:09:03fell foul of a suspected phishing attack this week.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Association press's Twitter account published a bogus post about
0:09:06 > 0:09:16explosions at the White House. It caused stock markets to dip

0:10:39 > 0:10:44you think about when you think about tech. Except goal line
0:10:44 > 0:10:50technology. But what about players and coaches, how do they stay ahead
0:10:50 > 0:10:53of the competition? We went to the England team's headquarters to find

0:11:04 > 0:11:11in the making and, for the first time, a place all 24 national teams
0:11:11 > 0:11:15from seniors through to juniors can call home. With eight pictures, two
0:11:15 > 0:11:21hotels and state-of-the-art sports facilities, it has been future-
0:11:21 > 0:11:25proofed and provides a modern environment for training. We can
0:11:25 > 0:11:30give players and coaches the ability to capture information in
0:11:30 > 0:11:32real time and have it available to them at any time in the future.
0:11:32 > 0:11:38Whether they are back in their room in the training centre, wherever
0:11:38 > 0:11:46they might be, they can access that information, analyse it and looked
0:11:46 > 0:11:50to get better. Today it is my turn to get a taste of what the players
0:11:50 > 0:11:55experience. I am practising on one of the international side pictures
0:11:55 > 0:11:59and I need some improvement before I hit the big-time. But the
0:11:59 > 0:12:04professionals don't need in for -- intuition. They have data by the
0:12:04 > 0:12:09bucket load to help them and their coaches. The dressing-room
0:12:09 > 0:12:14dressing-down used to consist -- consist of a pep-talk and a drink.
0:12:14 > 0:12:19Now, it's a touch screen TV connected to a laptop. The coach
0:12:19 > 0:12:23can analyse first half play. Information which has been manually
0:12:23 > 0:12:27put into tablets from data collectors. They measure things
0:12:27 > 0:12:33like successful passes, crosses, set plays and formations. All of
0:12:33 > 0:12:36that data is sink with video and strategically placed cameras. Using
0:12:36 > 0:12:42software, coaches can jump to any point in time and point out areas
0:12:42 > 0:12:48for improvement. For example, underperformers may need to pace
0:12:48 > 0:12:53themselves to sustain stamina. These tricks and tools help develop
0:12:53 > 0:12:59that -- help develop the win in the second half. That is the theory.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03That video and data can be crunched anew afterwards. Players and the
0:13:03 > 0:13:07manager can comment and reflect online before they meet their next
0:13:08 > 0:13:12opponents. And it's not just players to benefit. The philosophy
0:13:12 > 0:13:19is to impact the whole football ecosystem up and down the land.
0:13:19 > 0:13:24Whether it is analysing a pay you's performance, whatever data we can
0:13:24 > 0:13:27collect that enhances their performance or the coach's
0:13:27 > 0:13:32performance, those small differences add up to what we hope
0:13:32 > 0:13:36is a significant difference over time. But this place is not just
0:13:36 > 0:13:42about improving performance through analysis. It's at training ground,
0:13:42 > 0:13:46keeping players at their peak fitness. That is where the Human
0:13:46 > 0:13:50Performance Lab comes into play. At first glance it looks like your
0:13:50 > 0:13:55average two. But it is pretty special on closer inspection. First,
0:13:55 > 0:14:01I can measure my vitals. These skills are so advanced. They
0:14:01 > 0:14:09measure your overall fat percentage and break it down. They also give a
0:14:09 > 0:14:14disquieting level of detail about your body's composition. Lot of
0:14:14 > 0:14:21food for thought. Maybe a little less food needed. Who knew I was
0:14:21 > 0:14:25made up of 59% water?! But it is increasingly about athleticism. To
0:14:25 > 0:14:30win the game, you need to stay ahead. This pressure plate is
0:14:30 > 0:14:37connected to sensors and analyses your balance when you are standing

0:14:44 > 0:14:48give players sophisticated data analysis when running. Both
0:14:48 > 0:14:55machines can identify potential problem areas before they become
0:14:55 > 0:14:59real injuries. Reactions are a vital part. This helps monitor and
0:14:59 > 0:15:03improve peripheral vision. Great for goal is, where every second
0:15:03 > 0:15:08counts. It might sound a bit clinical and indeed this place can
0:15:08 > 0:15:14be a bit short on atmosphere. Take this altitude chamber, which gives
0:15:14 > 0:15:18you a punishing workout by taking you one Mile High in a matter of
0:15:18 > 0:15:23seconds. Aim higher still and you can get a work out which is well
0:15:23 > 0:15:27and truly uplifting. Let me introduce you to the anti-gravity
0:15:27 > 0:15:32treadmill. Only found in very few elite sporting establishments. Air
0:15:32 > 0:15:37is pumped into the chamber, sealing in my lower body to reduce the
0:15:37 > 0:15:43effects of gravity by 80%. It feels a little bit like I am running on
0:15:43 > 0:15:47air. It puts less pressure on my joints, which is perfect for people
0:15:47 > 0:15:51who need to preserve them at all costs, like footballers or even
