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
