The more things change….
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 l Fixed transponder ID’s the vehicle l Hand-held transponder ID’s the driver Vehicle ID l Allows for vehicle-specific tracking and enforcement l Collects company/operator-based data Driver ID l Driver-based payment system support l 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: l Toll collection l Airport ground transportation and parking l Institutional and municipal parking l Mobile Commerce Multi-protocol readers combined with smart inter-agency agreements are the enabler Airport interoperability with multi-modal transportation l Airport l Seaport l Rail/intermodal
AVI and Revenue Non-Aeronautical Revenue is the new Holy Grail “Do More With less” l Automate manual tasks l Drive efficacy into your daily operation l Improve customer service l AVI can be your “force multiplier” “Increase Revenues and Lower Expenses” l Tap into unused revenue streams l Capture more useable information about your roadway Don’t leave money on the table!
AVI & Sustainability Sustainability is the new Security l Economic, political and social impacts l You will have your management’s attention FAA VALE program l A potential source of funding AVI enables greening of the curbside l Emissions reductions l Congestion reduction l Preferential pricing/access l Pricing breaks for alt fuel vehicles l LAWA trip reduction program
How to Buy Smart Work the ROI angles hard – the supportive models are out there Non traditional funding sources: l VALE, ARRA, other FAA/DOT initiatives Innovative contracting approaches l Embed the technology within your operating concession l Lease/Buy? l Interagency funding via interoperability Tailor the technology to your needs/budget l Hosted applications l 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
