2. APTA, Kevin Hassett, September 24, 2002 2 Technology: The System Integrator’s Perspective Kevin Hassett, President Train Track Computer Systems, Inc. Newport Beach, CA

3. APTA, Kevin Hassett, September 24, 2002 3 Personal Biases Represent Vendors Software developer Control Systems Real Time systems Technology. ‘Widgets’

4. APTA, Kevin Hassett, September 24, 2002 4 Product Goals Easy to use Expandable Integrated Cost: Lower cost to build / own

5. APTA, Kevin Hassett, September 24, 2002 5 Just Remember this: Use a System Integrator (Digital) Technology

6. APTA, Kevin Hassett, September 24, 2002 6 End Result Communication Systems Integration integrate v. - 1. To make into a whole by bringing all parts together, unify. 2. To join with something else, unite. Fiber Optic Radio Telephone LED Signage SCADA Security and Control Public Address Closed Circuit Television Operation Control Centers Turn-key Project

7. APTA, Kevin Hassett, September 24, 2002 7 Top 5 technologies 5. Fire 4. Compact Disk: digitized sound 3. The ‘PC’ 2. The Internet 1. The Internet

8. APTA, Kevin Hassett, September 24, 2002 8 Ubiquitous Digital Communication A picture of the Internet

9. APTA, Kevin Hassett, September 24, 2002 9 The Internet: Ubiquitous Digital Communication Ethernet – 10, 100, 1000MB, 802.11 Wireless TCP/IP – Universal addressing Public network Free transport, universal access Virtual Networks Security Local Area Networks – leverage technology

10. APTA, Kevin Hassett, September 24, 2002 10 Digital Advantages Point to Everywhere (not point to point). Access to all devices is available everywhere in the system. Video can be viewed anywhere, Announcements can be made anywhere, Remote users can access the system, Backup facilities only need a single data connection.

11. APTA, Kevin Hassett, September 24, 2002 11 Digital Advantages Point to Everywhere (not point to point). Routing The Internet technology is all about efficient and redundant and reliable routing of data.

12. APTA, Kevin Hassett, September 24, 2002 12 Digital Advantages Point to Everywhere (not point to point). Routing Capacity No need to dedicate ‘types’ of channels for specific devices. All data paths are combined and shared dynamically.

13. APTA, Kevin Hassett, September 24, 2002 13 Digital Advantages Point to Everywhere (not point to point). Routing Capacity Integration, Use of Software Digital data can be archived on the same medium. They can be coordinated (the video with the sound) System Integrators can add value.

14. APTA, Kevin Hassett, September 24, 2002 14 Digital Advantages Point to Everywhere (not point to point). Routing Capacity Integration, Use of Software Compatibility A true SYSTEM

15. APTA, Kevin Hassett, September 24, 2002 15 Passenger Information Systems  Public address  Variable Message Signs (VMS)  CCTV  Radio  Telephone  Customer information system  Web Access

16. APTA, Kevin Hassett, September 24, 2002 16 PIS Infrastructure  Fiber Optic,  Ethernet Network  SCADA System Control and Data Acquisition  Centralized Traffic Control (CTC)

17. APTA, Kevin Hassett, September 24, 2002 17 The RULES 1. Make everything digital as soon as possible and as often as possible: At the outermost ends of the network. LED signs should have an Ethernet jack and IP address, Cameras should be Ethernet…

18. APTA, Kevin Hassett, September 24, 2002 18 The RULES 2. Use ETHERNET, USE IP (TCP/IP)

19. APTA, Kevin Hassett, September 24, 2002 19 The RULES 3. USE Point-to-everywhere versus Point to point communications

20. APTA, Kevin Hassett, September 24, 2002 20 The RULES 4. Use a System Integrator: Use Software for Integration You need MORE than an Electrical Contractor !

21. APTA, Kevin Hassett, September 24, 2002 21 The RESULTS Customized systems at standardized pricing. Systems that can grow with your needs Systems that stay in step with technology.
