3 Commercial Vehicles When picking up passengers: Operate on-demand (e.g., taxicabs, shared-ride vans) or scheduled (e.g., public transit, parking shuttles) Often compete for limited curb space Compete with other access modes May operate rolling billboards Derive business benefit from access to airport passengers On-Demand/Reservation Taxicab Limousine Shared-ride, door-to-door vans Courtesy vehicles Scheduled Buses and vans Long-haul shuttles Public transit Courtesy vehicles 3

4 Commercial Vehicles Airport Goals Improve service to the traveling public Encourage use of HOV s Promote better management and enforcement procedures Encourage efficient facility use Formalize business arrangements Ensure all operators pay for benefits received Recover airport operator s cost Preserve existing and raise additional revenues 4

5 Commercial Vehicle Management Current Technologies Automatic vehicle identification (AVI) Airport-specific Toll-tags License plate recognition (LPR) Proximity cards 5

6 Commercial Vehicle Management Emerging Technologies IntelliDrive / RFID Allows vehicles to communicate with other vehicles and infrastructure Intended for crash prevention Assigns each vehicle a unique ID, which can be read wirelessly In-pavement sensors 6

curbside use IntelliDrive can replace AVI systems

7 Commercial Vehicle Management Opportunities Emerging technologies provide for inexpensive monitoring of curbside use IntelliDrive can replace AVI systems Pavement sensors can calculate dwell times for dedicated spaces 7

8 Private Vehicles High volumes Diverse mix Drivers want to: Park at an empty space in front of their airline Leave their car unattended while accompanying passengers into the terminal Linger at the curb while waiting for arriving passengers Not be hassled by police Use the curb for free, just like at a shopping mall or school 8

9 Private Vehicles Opportunities In-pavement sensors provide improved ability to monitor and enforce dwell times 9

10 Private Vehicles Opportunities In-pavement sensors support alternate curbside configurations 10

11 Private Vehicles Opportunities IntelliDrive allows gateless tolling for all vehicles, which means it is simple to charge for curbside access 11

12 Curbside Charges Existing Applications Curbside charges already exist in Europe and India Paris, Charles de Gaulle Denver and Dallas/Ft. Worth international airports have charged for curbside access Paris, Charles de Gaulle 12

13 Curbside Charges Political Implementation Considerations Impacts local residents (i.e., voters) Enforcement Excessive dwell times Fee disputes Refusal to pay Unattended vehicles If charged for pickup, should vehicles be charged for dropping off as well? Formidable opposition 13

14 Curbside Charges Practical Implementation Considerations Assume all vehicles stopped at the curbside must be attended (TSA rules) If charged for pickup curb, would vehicles use drop-off curb instead? Allowable parking duration directly affects required spaces Active load/unload only? 5 minutes? 10 minutes? 30 minutes or higher? 14

garage rates Flat fee versus duration-based Impact on other

15 Curbside Charges Practical Implementation Considerations Pricing Likely higher than garage rates Establish in conjunction with garage rates Flat fee versus duration-based Impact on other facilities Parking space demand Parking entry/exit lanes and revenue control 15

16 Summary Reduced costs for commercial vehicle management IntelliDrive replaces AVI and license plate recognition Improved ability to monitor and enforce curbside activity Implementation of curbside charges Apply same technologies to public parking revenue control 16
