I look forward to the Autum School "Modern Stained Glass - Metadata - AI" in Münster next week 😊. This is a chance to present what we are doing in @nfdi4objects in the field of #materialheritage and what is the #ObjectBiography. This is a great chance to show the #datamodel based on the #NFDI4ObjectsObjectOntology my colleague Sarah Wagner at #CDI @FAU implemented in the #VRU #WissKI.
I look forward to the discussions and to receive feedback + needs from the #community for our developments.

How Scotland reduced violent crime - John Carnochan
Re sharing this transcript in context of #Adolescence series.
In Glasgow particularly we have long-standing problems with youngsters killing each other. Recently boy of 15 killed, suspect 14. Gang related knife crime is frequently involved. But the Violence Reduction Unit has helped reduce deaths in the city. I'm sure there are lessons others elsewhere can learn from. -
Also in the area of security, Dave Bartlett started the discussion, speaking about the #IoT technology Spoke Safety, their customers and partners are using to protect vulnerable road users #VRU including cellular vehicle-to-everything #CV2X connectivity providing situational awareness for drivers and bike, scooter and wheelchair users, and pedestrians #IoTday #IoTday2024 #SensAE 6/16 https://www.spokesafety.com/

I tend to avoid #NewYearsResolutions, but not this year.
In 2024, I resolve to push back every single time someone uses the term #VRU, or #VulnerableRoadUser.It's a transportation catchall for "humans not safely ensconsed inside a motor vehicle," and it's lazy, inaccurate, offensive, and counterproductive.

CW: Sarcasm about children, cars, disease
#VRU is a new term for toddlers, often referred to as disease-vectors during flu-season.
> “We have low exposure to small #VRUs” — #VulnerableRoadUsers, a reference to #children — “so very few events to estimate risk from,” the materials say. Another section concedes #CruiseVehicles’ “lack of a high-precision Small VRU classifier,” or machine learning software that would automatically detect child-shaped objects

I enjoy the game where you swap the acronym #VRU for the word "person" or "human" in a report draft and then wait to be told you're being too direct and might offend someone important by implying that actual human lives are at stake when they fail to regulate vehicles or build safer streets.

The panel discussion went on for over two hours. If you have a specific topic that interests your more than others:

We often talk about #SmartCities, but this focuses on technologies. We need to focus on people. Cities don’t exist in isolation. We need to take a #regional perspective. #IoTDay is coming. #IoT #Ag4 #BSFS #renewables #V2X #VRU #Ag4 #BSFS #DigitalTwins #SensAE #safety #sustainability #security #IoTPL #IoTCL
