Contracts

Karlsruhe (euro adhoc) - Karlsruhe/Portland, September 30, 2010. init
has recently signed another contract with TriMet (Tri-County
Metropolitan Transportation District of Oregon) to equip 254
paratransit vehicles and 15 supervisory vehicles with their combined
on-board computers and mobile data terminals (COPILOTtouch). As part
of the installation, init will also provide voice radio and cellular
data modems, fleet management software (MOBILE-ITCS) for 9 dispatch
workstations, emergency alarm improvements and training.

init´s COPILOTtouch is an 8.4" mobile data terminal which uses a
Windows® XP Embedded operating system. The built-in, compact computer
will organise voice and data radio communications giving TriMet
automatic vehicle position calculation and immediate schedule
adherence data. The COPILOTtouch will also provide drivers with an
easy to view, full-colour touch screen that displays route and
schedule functions, and gives clear navigation announcements
transmitted through the built-in audio amplifier. The installation of
init technology on TriMet´s paratransit fleet will provide passengers
with improved on-time service and give TriMet more efficient fleet
management control.

The contract between init and TriMet is expected to kick off in
October of 2010. The paratransit fleet installation will correspond
with the fixed-route radio implementation schedule already outlined
in a previous contract between init and TriMet. With a successful APC
project already in place on the MAX, TriMet´s light rail system, init
looks forward to a continued partnership with TriMet to assist them
in creating a faster, safer and more efficient public transport
system for the residents of Portland.
