Karlsruhe (euro adhoc) - Karlsruhe/Chesapeake, February 3, 2009.
General Electric Transportation LLC has recently been awarded a
contract to provide an Advanced Communication and Information System
(ACIS) to the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District
(District) in San Francisco, CA. INIT Innovations in Transportation
Inc. in Chesapeake, Virginia, has been chosen as the subcontractor
for the new Intermodal Transportation Control System (ITCS).

Pursuant to the contract, INIT will equip Golden Gate Transit buses
and the Golden Gate Ferry fleet with a computer-aided
dispatch/automatic vehicle location system. In addition, INIT will
supply the on-board computers, mobile data terminals, passenger
information displays, automatic passenger counting system, automated
stop announcements, as well as a real-time passenger information
system.

INIT´s on-board computer, COPILOTpc, is based on Windows® XP Embedded
technology and will give the District cost-effective standard
software with the advantage of future expandability. The mobile data
terminal, TOUCHmon will provide drivers with a full 8.4",
graphic-capable touch screen with built-in surface acoustic wave
technology. Golden Gate Transit and Golden Gate Ferry passengers will
also experience INIT´s real-time passenger information through
improved signage, and further real-time data by cell phone and
internet using the San Francisco Bay area "511" service. In addition,
on-board, clearly audible next stop announcements and displays will
help identify all stops for passengers.

INIT will interface the ITCS with a digital voice and data radio
system to provide the customer with a fully integrated seamless
solution. The multi-million dollar project is now underway and will
take about two years for project buildout.
