  1. Trapeze Yard Management & RFind Overview

  2. Agenda • Introductions • Why RFind and Yard Management? • Trapeze Yard Management • Trapeze RFind • Discussion • Appendix – Hardware Specifications

  3. Why RFind and Yard Management

  4. Challenges with the Manual Process • Resource intensive • An average facility will perform at least 2 full walk-thoughs a day • Each walk-through takes approximately 45 minutes including the time to enter the data • Between times, several mini-reviews must be performed • Prone to human error • Information is only accurate to the last walk-through • Often incomplete (doesn’t include ALL vehicles)

  5. The Solution

  6. Trapeze Yard Management Overview Operations Management Yard Management Software RFind RTLS Hardware Yard Management System EAM

  7. Trapeze Yard Management 1. WHERE in the yard are my vehicles now? * Trapeze RFind 2. What is the current STATUS of each vehicle? * Trapeze EAM 3. Where in the yard should I have a vehicle PARK? Which vehicle should a driver take next? * Native to Trapeze YM

  8. How Can Trapeze Yard Management Be Used? Stand Alone Deployments Integrated Solution with other Trapeze Enterprise Systems Operations Management Enterprise Asset Management Yard Management System

  9. The Hardware • Real Time Locating System (RTLS) • Tags: • Fixed reference locations • On front and rear of vehicles • All tags communicate with each other (Asset-to-reference, Asset-to-asset) • Gateways: • Collect data from tags • Transmit all data to the server

  10. Mixed Locating 5 Locating Methods in 1 System

  11. Presence Detection Accuracy: Identification of all buses present in a specific area

  12. Chokepoints Accuracy: Identification of a specific bus at a specific chokepoint

  13. Zonal Location Accuracy: Identification of which buses are in a particular area or zone

  14. Precision LocatingPoint-to-Point Accuracy: Identification of a specific bus in a specific stall or bay (ie. maintenance bay)

  15. Precision LocatingSequencing Accuracy: Identification of a specific bus/train car to a specific row/rail And its position within that row/rail (ie. row 4, position 3)

  16. Sequencing Demonstration Reference Tag Lane & position precision Can be used with buses in lanes or trains on rail lines

  17. Trapeze Yard Management Read-only map view for certain users Full-featured data access for other users • Yard Management Portal • View current location of assets • View asset status details via icon color(s) • Drill into additional asset detail

  18. Trapeze Yard Management • Optimized Routing/Parking Algorithm • At any time, understand where a vehicle on the move should be parked next • Stage in ready lanes? • Route through fueling/servicing? • Deliver to maintenance? • Communicate desired parking location to people moving vehicles • Drivers • Fuelers • Maintenance staff • Support user customization of statuses and routing workflow • Based on scheduled maintenance, inspections, fuel, defects, etc.

  19. Trapeze YM and EAM Asset detail and work order status passed in real time to Trapeze YM; Detail regarding maintenance and fueling requirements used to determine vehicle routing Consist definitions, notification of vehicles entering yard, ability to locate vehicles on map sent to EAM

  20. Trapeze YM and OPS Bus parking location (yard, lane, and position) fed automatically into OPS Vehicle Assignment screen. Detail regarding vehicles and status made visible in YM Portal

  21. Key Benefits • Tags used for locating (vs expensive wired systems) • Reduces complexity, costs and maintenance • No timing wires required between devices • Reduces complexity, costs and maintenance • Accuracy is right-sized for the application • Lane & position (example: inside a garage) • Maintenance bay • Zone (example: outdoor parking area for maintenance) • Non-interfering with other wireless systems • Transit focussed organization and solutions • Integrated into Trapeze Enterprise Solutions
