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”
Logical Transport is a ‘next generation’ holistic passenger scheduling solution. It covers all aspects of Trip Booking, Vehicle and Passenger Scheduling, Routing, Vehicle Tracking, Mobile Data Communications, Financial Management & Operational Reporting.
The BenefitsImmediate easing of demand on parking
spacesPotential to save $m’s by removing
demand for expensive parking garagesIncreased ridership & revenueReduced Carbon FootprintBetter management information
Batch Scheduling In Advance
On-Demand Scheduling
Flexible & semi-fixed routes

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