AGTA Spring Conference “Holding On” Forrest Swonsen Using AVI Technology to Manage the Curb March 24, 2009
Consider: When written in Chinese the word crisis is composed to two characters. One represents danger, and the other represents opportunity. John F Kennedy 1960
Let’s Talk About Opportunity • New Technology Influences • Revenue • Sustainability • How to buy smart
Dual Credential system • Allows for two AVI transponders to be used in the same vehicle • Fixed transponder ID’s the vehicle • Hand-held transponder ID’s the driver • Vehicle ID • Allows for vehicle-specific tracking and enforcement • Collects company/operator-based data • Driver ID • Driver-based payment system support • Track driver certification/security • Deployed and in operation today • Can use RFID or long range, secure personal biometrics
TWIC Hand Held reader • Supports TWIC contactless biometric ID • Supports PIV card biometric ID • Reads all types of standard cards: ANSI/ISO/AAMVA, • Multiple RF communications capabilities
Regional Interoperability Continues to Grow • “One tag, many uses” concept: • Toll collection • Airport ground transportation and parking • Institutional and municipal parking • Mobile Commerce • Multi-protocol readers combined with smart inter-agency agreements are the enabler • Airport interoperability with multi-modal transportation • Airport • Seaport • Rail/intermodal
AVI and Revenue • Non-Aeronautical Revenue is the new Holy Grail • “Do More With less” • Automate manual tasks • Drive efficacy into your daily operation • Improve customer service • AVI can be your “force multiplier” • “Increase Revenues and Lower Expenses” • Tap into unused revenue streams • Capture more useable information about your roadway • Don’t leave money on the table!
AVI & Sustainability • Sustainability is the new Security • Economic, political and social impacts • You will have your management’s attention • FAA VALE program • A potential source of funding • AVI enables greening of the curbside • Emissions reductions • Congestion reduction • Preferential pricing/access • Pricing breaks for alt fuel vehicles • LAWA trip reduction program
How to Buy Smart • Work the ROI angles hard – the supportive models are out there • Non traditional funding sources: • VALE, ARRA, other FAA/DOT initiatives • Innovative contracting approaches • Embed the technology within your operating concession • Lease/Buy? • Interagency funding via interoperability • Tailor the technology to your needs/budget • Hosted applications • Incremental, planned system growth
In Conclusion “The characteristic all economic downturns share is that at some point they all end...” Ben Bernanke – 2009 BE READY
