AGTA membership has its (privileges) phenomenal benefits…

• Spring AGTA New Orleans meeting March ‘09

• Katrina – Lower 9th Ward bus tour

• Lucky bus seating selection• Follow-up meetings in

Cleveland, Denver and London (April – August)

• The venture’s launch is this month: UK-based Logical Transport together with US-based Integrity Parking Systems =

Logical Transportation “transportation and parking solutions for a greener future”

What is Logical Transport Enterprise Software?

Airport Client survey issues/goals

• Save us money -- reduce O&M costs and related infrastructure capital costs, while maintaining or increasing customer service

• Right size fleet needs

• Mitigate wear & tear on commercial roadways

• Stop empty bus runs (public relations issue)

• Consolidate transportation systems of similar operations

• Consolidate airport owner (governmental agency) shuttle fleet needs of port and airport

• Minimize the need of shuttling employees

• Reduce carbon footprint

The BenefitsOptimizes Demand Responsive Transportation

and minimizes Fixed RouteCreates matrix of variable bus capacities to best

meet demand and reduce O&MCoordinates directly with in-bus mobile data

terminals to by-pass language and radio airtime barriers

Automatically schedules driver break, lunch & shift end based on contractual Customer Service Standards

Open architecture to link with HR, DOT and Maintenance programs

Moves baggage off the curbEmployee Ride-Share tailored portal

How does LT Enterprise Software reduce demand on the airport curb and assist airport operations?

Car-sharing application for airport employee parking

• By re-defining parking demand LT creates the opportunity for less capital outlay at $15,000-$20,000 per space.

• Project savings in the multi-millions plus potential for reducing on-going transportation costs

• Example: Reducing parking structure 500 spaces saves: $7.5M-$10.0M

In Summary -- ‘Decision’ transportation modeling tools can produce the following significant benefits:

A significant reduction in miles driven by optimally managing Demand Responsive compared to Fixed Route Scheduling

Introduction of customer transportation payment fees for “non-traditional” fee-based airport shuttle services

Service standards improvedReduction in fuel, maintenance costs, drivers hours and

dispatch hoursReduction in carbon footprintImproved audit trail and reporting

Who are our clients?

“The Knowledge Transfer Partnership with the University of Southampton has made a significant contribution to our success.”

Heathrow HoppaA Case Study

70 million passengers

annually

New Terminal 5

Activity modelling through

LT ‘Decision’ moduleSimulations highlighted the following could be attained:

A significant reduction in miles driven to meet agreed SLA’s

Service standards improved through improved routing

Reduction in fuel, maintenance costs and drivers hours

Reduction in carbon footprint

Improved audit trail and reporting

Heathrow Hoppa

LT Enterprise delivers a fixed timetable/fixed schedule

service during peak times which see over half of passenger

movements by 09:30 with more flexible ‘virtual’ scheduling

during off-peak hours.Booking is simplified, through electronic kiosks located in hotel lobby’s, online or directly from the driver.

The system then calculates the optimum schedule against defined business rules with drivers manifest update in ‘real-time’ through onboard MDT’s.

Heathrow Hoppa

“The result is a service that is flexible to not only meet but exceed SLA’s and passenger expectation;

making Heathrow ‘Hoppa’ the most convenient way to travel from your hotel to Heathrow

Airport.”

The system also has the ability to

generate:

Bar-coded ticketing

Ticketing to mobile phones

Real-time running information

‘Vehicle approaching’ alerts to

mobile phones and fixed displays.

Carbon Footprint & Management Information

With all journeys and schedules logged, carbon footprint and management information is readily available including:

Number of passengers carried and journey start/finish point matrixTicket revenueCarbon emissions (and savings achieved versus conventional routing strategies)Performance standards for punctuality, journey time compliance etc

Carbon Invoicing
