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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  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 APTA, Kevin Hassett, September 24, 2002 9

  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. APTA, Kevin Hassett, September 24, 2002 10

  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. APTA, Kevin Hassett, September 24, 2002 11

  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. APTA, Kevin Hassett, September 24, 2002 12

  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. APTA, Kevin Hassett, September 24, 2002 13

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

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

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

  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… APTA, Kevin Hassett, September 24, 2002 17

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

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

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

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