All operating companies of the Transantiago that are already GOAL SYSTEMS clients have been successfully awarded new concessions

JANUARY 2012 — Santiago, CHILE. The ALSACIA & EXPRESS group, SUBUS of the FANALCA group and REDBUS of the VEOLIA-TRANSDEV group, who together operate over 60% of the 6,500 that make up the Transantiago transport system, have been awarded new concessions, increasing their operations to new areas. They all use GoalBus® and GoalDriver® technology for optimized planning of timetables, buses and drivers. The companies Buses Vule and Buses Metropolitana also are increasing their concessions.

“After almost a year of referendums, meetings with experts, traveling during rush hour and a difficult process of negotiation with the companies running the system, in December 2012 Minister of Transport Pedro Pablo Errázuriz announced the end of the contracts that current operators had with the national government that primarily benefitted the companies, also announcing that the previous contract would be replaced by new conditions that would focus on service quality for users.

NEW CONCESSIONS

Buses Metropolitana: Buses Metropolitana will keep main line 5 and add the J region previously run by Comercial Nuevo Milenio. This way the western area of the city will be successfully brought together, allowing for improved travel and reducing the number of transfers.

Subus: Subus will keep main and incorporate the G region that was previously in the hands of Las Araucarias. This way they will eliminate transfers from the south of the city toward the center and northern parts of Santiago.

Buses Vule: Buses Vule will keep main and the H region, the latter having been under their management since the bankruptcy and withdrawal of Buses Gran Santiago last October. It will incorporate the I region that until now was run by Comercial Nuevo Milenio, as well as the E region that was previously awarded to Unitran. This will allow for improving connectivity between routes.

Redbus: Redbus will continue to operate the feeder region B which it has managed since Buses Gran Santiago’s disappearance in October, in addition to the C region. This will allow for improving the range of routes and eliminate the need for transfers.

Alsacia: Alsacia will keep main with a group of services that will integrate the city.

Express: Express will continue to run main and, in addition to its current services, will add those in the current D. This way the area’s connections with the city will be improved, requiring fewer transfers.

STP: This Company will continue to control the F region corresponding to the Puente Alto commune, favoring connections with metro line 4 and the main lines from Concha y Toro Avenue and Santa Rosa.”

All of the companies currently working with GOAL SYSTEMS have already requested to incorporate GoalBus® and GoalDriver® into their new areas. We are confident that we will be helpful in this ambitious process of improving the Transantiago transport system undertaken by the Chilean Ministry of Transport.

We would like to thank Subus, Redbus and Alsacia & Express for choosing us once again and we would like to congratulate all the other companies that have benefitted from this process.

In Italy, TRENORD also chooses GoalRail® for the planning, scheduling and control of its transport operations

FEBRUARY 2012 — Milan, ITALY. After evaluating various scheduling and operations systems, TRENORD, through the System Integrator NordCom, signed an agreement with GOAL SYSTEMS to use the GoalRail® tool in the planning, scheduling and control of its transport operations. NordCom is a joint venture between FNM and Telecom Italia and will have a decisive role in working on this project. Their business is in consulting, engineering and infrastructure technology services, and information and application integration systems.

The company TRENORD was founded May 3, 2011 by combining the experience, competence and structures of Trenitalia (Lombardy Regional Division) and LeNORD (FNM Group) – 50% shareholders each – for the purpose of rationalizing and optimizing Lombardy’s railway service. It operates 42 regional lines, 10 suburban lines and 3 lines dedicated to the Malpensa Express airport service. It also works in conjunction with Deutsche Bahn and Österreichische Bundesbahnen in managing EuroCity in Italian territory. With a fleet of 330 trains, TRENORD runs over 2,300 services each day, transporting more than 650,000 passengers in Lombardy. Lombardy’s railway network (1,900 km, not including high-speed lines) is one of the most frequently used in Europe. About 3.8 trillion passengers/km in total travel on it yearly, most of which coming together toward Milan.

The GoalRail® system allows, for example, for optimizing the resources necessary for tackling changes in large regions’ transport systems, for evaluating various options, various locations for infrastructures, different types of material, etc. All of the above is for the purpose of making the best possible decisions when facing new challenges in the market or when improving current operations, also including a powerful new dispatch module for controlling daily operations. Improving said operations allows for a savings in cost and improved service for passengers. GOAL SYSTEMS continues to be the leader in Resource Planning and Optimization Software for railway companies, demonstrating once more that its solutions, specifically for this line of business, can be customized perfectly for the various companies distributed across five continents.

“The system is very flexible; it is customized for our operations and affords us greater security in facing the challenges that await us in the near future.” Engineer Maurizio Brunelli, CEO NordCom.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Trenord and Nordcom for choosing GOAL SYSTEMS to take on this new challenge.
