DID YOU KNOW?
72 airports in 9 countries use TransCore's AVI systems.
“Dallas/Fort Worth serves as a model for major cities all over the world to integrate their parking, toll, and traffic management system. This new level of convenience exemplifies the airport’s commitment to our patrons. We estimate that the new PassKey lanes will increase the number of vehicles through the plazas from 180 per hour to 720 per hour.”
–Jeffrey Fegan, International Airport Executive Director , DFW International Airport
Key Customers Choosing TransCore's AVI Products
TransCore is recognized worldwide as the leader in automatic vehicle identification (AVI) systems. The following is a representative list of airports using TransCore's products to deliver business results:
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)
LAX is one of the world's busiest airports and serves more than 68 million passengers annually. The increase in airplane travel has challenged airport operators' ability to provide adequate curbside time for private and commercial vehicles. LAX installed our AVI system to reduce traffic congestion and maximize revenues collected from ground transportation operations. Since implementation of the system, revenue collection has increased more than 250 percent and congestion has been reduced more than 20 percent.
Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC)
When the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) mandated tougher security requirements in the fall of 1995 because of terrorist alerts, Salt Lake City International Airport was prepared. Three years earlier, the airport had installed our automatic vehicle identification (AVI) system. The system not only increased security, but also increased revenue for the airport's terminal services, reduced airport traffic congestion, decreased the need for manpower at the airport, and improved operational efficiency.
"Without the wireless tracking system we would have needed to double or triple our staff to meet those temporary requirements mandated by the FAA," said Larry Bowers, terminal services manager for the airport authority.
John Wayne Airport, Orange County, Calif. (SNA)
Prior to using our AVI system, John Wayne Airport relied on the "honor system" to enforce payment of ground transportation fees by service providers. This system, however, was found to be inefficient and unreliable, according to William Pemberton, manager of landside operations for the airport.
Pemberton said our AVI system provided better control of all vehicles entering and exiting the airport. In the system's first month of operation, the airport experienced a four-fold increase in revenue, compared to revenue collected in the same amount of time with the previous honor system. Additionally, the airport was able to identify more than 50 commercial operators who were unknown prior to installation of the TransCore system. The implementation initially had been projected to see a return-on-investment after two years, but airport operators found they experienced a return-on-investment within just seven months of installation.
Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW)
In May 1999, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport completed installation of the PassKey® electronic parking payment system, which uses patented Amtech® wireless technology and software. With this installation, DFW became the first metropolitan area in the world where motorists can use a single electronic tag at major airport parking facilities, toll roads, and city garages providing nonstop convenience and improving traffic flow.
