1 ericsson.com Intelligent transport without limits The City of Dallas Case Study

2 2 Ericsson Intelligent transport without limits Bypassing data traffic jams Dallas-Fort Worth is the fourth largest metropolitan area in the United States, stretching across 13 counties and dozens of separate municipalities, each with their own processes and systems for traffic management. The inability to share transport data across city lines was making it increasingly difficult to move people and goods through North Central Texas. To improve collaborative efforts within agencies, and across city limits, four cities in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex chose Ericsson to install and manage an Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) based on our Connected Urban Transport solution. From day one of operation in January 2018, the ATMS has provided positive, measurable results for citizens, and for everyone else traveling through the region. Intelligent transport system across boundaries Connected Urban Transport enables sharing of data, services and access in a secure way across boundaries Police Fire Police Fire ABC Municipal Boundary ABC ABC Municipality A Municipality B Goals of the Dallas-Fort Worth collaboration Reduce operational costs Improve the safety and quality of transportation Lower pollution by reducing traffic congestion Achieve UN sustainable development goals Make the region more attractive to businesses and skilled workers The Connected Urban Transport solution Smooth onboarding and operation with system management from Ericsson Quick troubleshooting of all systems across all agencies with a status and control dashboard Easier supplier contract management with KPI monitoring and tracking Increased oversight and alignment of internal performance goals Faster response and reduced workload with automated triggers and notification Key facts & statistics The Dallas-Forth Worth Metroplex is the fourth-largest metropolitan area in the United States behind only New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. (Source: United States Census Bureau). Dallas motorists spent 59.4 hours in traffic due to congestion last year which equals 7% of total driving time spent in congestion (Source: INRIX global traffic scorecard). For North Texas drivers, the ~60 hours of traffic delays in 2016 cost each driver 40 extra gallons of fuel than would be used in free-flowing traffic. Road bottlenecks create 40% of traffic congestion and delays, followed by traffic accidents at 25%, bad weather at 15%, work zones at 10%, poor signal timing at 5% and other causes with 5% (Source: DRMC) The system will be fully Functional in 2020.

3 Ericsson Intelligent transport without limits 3 Taking the express lane to collaboration Connected Urban Transport automates the monitoring, management and maintenance of connected devices and applications in the traffic system. With an easy-touse interface for collaborative traffic management, the cities of Dallas, Fort Worth, Irving and Richardson are speeding past their old hold-ups. Connected Interoperated Automated Connecting all parts of the transportation infrastructure Making sure that all parts work in unison with each other Supporting connected automation in transport The bottom line is value for taxpayers While maintaining independent procurement processes and decision-making authority within each agency, the participating cities in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex are optimizing acquisition processes related to transport. Via cooperative purchase agreements, participating municipalities are able to quickly reap the benefits from the common sourcing activity, which adds up to increased value for each tax dollar. Built to grow The Connected Urban Transport overlay unifies data across systems, providing authorized users a real-time picture of transport in the Dallas-Fort Worth region. The data generated at street level is routed through each partner s applications, forming an ecosystem in which everyone has the power to improve processes on both an individual and collaborative level.

Through collaboration, municipal, regional and national transportation authorities can meet, and exceed the high expectations placed on them by travelers and taxpayers. Leverage your data Despite efforts to make cities smarter, data that could be useful to a wide range of private and public interests is too often locked up by unaligned business processes, legacy platforms and privacy concerns. With previously inaccessible data united by Connected Urban Transport, organizations can significantly improve operations without changing legacy systems. All software is configured and updated remotely from the cloud, meaning software updates are done without any interruptions in operational processes, and without significant changes in staffing. New authorities and service providers can be fluidly integrated into the platform allowing continual improvement and growth within your transport system. One solution, total integration Connected Urban Transport provides an intuitive and easy-to-use interface that allows traffic signals, bus shelters, vehicles, and any other part of the IoT transport ecosystem to be incorporated in real time. With traffic data shared securely via Connected Urban Transport, agencies and municipalities can improve individual processes and collaborative efforts. When data is turned into useful information, drivers have safer, more enjoyable commutes, logistics companies can deliver on time, and public transit becomes both more efficient and more attractive.
