What is AVI?

Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) uses wireless Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) communication technology to identify, monitor, track, and collect data on vehicle movements so you can effectively manage Customer parking and a variety of airside and landside vehicle - related activities.

Some Metrics on AVI

Currently more than 65 airports in North America use AVI in single or multiple applications Over 250,000 transponders Over 1400 lanes of equipment

That number will increase to 68 by mid- 07

The first system deployed was in 1989

AVI users cover a broad range; LAX to EAG

AVI technology and applications continue to evolve Low cost “sticker tags” Mobil technology Regional interoperability

New Trends in Tags

New “sticker” type AVI tags

Lower cost versus traditional “encased” tags Under $12 in quantity Enables “disposable” tags

Similar performance to battery powered tags with some range and speed restrictions

Over 4M units already in service, worldwide.

Dual Credential Systems

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

Mobil Operations Terminals

Handled terminal for: Enforcement-

tag reads at remote locations Mobile access to

host software application Remote enrollment

Communications Options- Wireless on-line

connectivity Periodic Synchronization with database from cradle

Rugged construction

Automated Vehicle Location (AVL)

Compatible with RFID technology- access control

Ground Transportation application for Shuttle Tracking

Airside application for alerts when a vehicle is in a restricted area

Regional Interoperability

Leverages a regional Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) system for multiple applications

“One tag, many uses” concept: Toll collection Airport ground transportation and parking Institutional and municipal parking

Multi-protocol readers are the enabler

Gaining acceptance in the US Texas, Pennsylvania, No. California, Kansas already

deployed Florida, Illinois, So. California, Colorado among many

areas moving to deployment in ‘07

Regional Resource Sharing

Concept: airports in the same area or are part of the same authority share data/resources

Shared Accounts Data Allow vehicle/company account data to be shared between

multiple systems Update account/tag adds, changes and deletes electronically

Shared service/support resources Regional field service staff are “shared’ between airports

based on need and system complexity Allows for fewer FTE staff to provide necessary support to

more than one airport – significant cost reduction

Summary

AVI continues to evolve and be relevant to your operation

Lots of tools available to get the job done

Technology is only one aspect, but a key element

The key is to match the technology to your business operations

Keep It Simple
