1 Advances in Traffic Management Systems Using Cloud Hosting Chris Bax, VP ITS Global Strategy

2 THE TRANSPORT WORLD TODAY Demand is hard to predict and manage Ever increasing complexity of transport networks and systems Solutions are constrained by physical limits System costs are driven by rare worst-case scenarios 2

3 THE TRANSPORT WORLD TOMORROW Pro-active management across all transportation modes The power of an Integrated Transport Management Solution Systems supporting flexible operations System costs based on real-world usage and long-term roadmaps 3

4 NextTraffic THE VISION One Management Solution, All Transport Modes Personalized and Pushed Traveler Updates Smarter, Real-Time Journey Planning Integrated Multi-Modal Management Pro-active Response Management Dynamic Information on a Common Operating Picture Trended, Integrated Data Analytics Leveraging Existing Assets

5 What is the Cloud? 5

6 Increasing Flexibility and Reducing Costs Shared Lower Cost Dedicated Higher Cost Physical High Administration Virtual Software as a Service Platform as a Service Infrastructure as a Service Low Administration An enterprise solution uses Capacity On Demand to ensure clients are only paying for resources they use Clients can choose the hosting options that suits their current needs - with an option to migrate to an alternative option the future Can Simplify client management of certification and security as well as IT administration 6

7 Architecture Overview - Goal and Principle based Architecture Produce a platform that would be agnostic of its hosting platform, with a level of abstraction that would facilitate the ability to swap out any technology components with minimal change to the overarching system with like for like components in an environment which is secure from day one. This goal is achieved using the following founding architectural principles: Security First Security is paramount; it is the focus from vision to decommissioning Technology Agnostic Platform Where possible the system should be abstracted from any COTS technology or Hosting Platform technologies Extensible and Reusable Service Architecture The system should be built with Extensibility, Reusability and Configurability in mind Industry Standards Use of industry standards for protocols, patterns and structure Buy over Build Where possible utilise COTS products over developing existing technologies

8 Transport Management System for Now and the Future Strategic Relationship with Microsoft Deployable into Private and Public Hosting Options Public Cloud Support for all major Public Cloud vendors Leverages the benefits of each individual cloud Delivers consistent, cross-cloud user experience and integration Private Cloud NextTraffic will work with any commercial or open source based cloud distribution, e.g. OpenStack and CloudStack Can use any of the main virtualisation platform Open architecture allows simple integration with thirdparty systems hosted on-premise or in another cloud 8

9 Solution Key Features Multi-modal transport management Highly configurable for local business rules Fast, flexible, costeffective deployment and operations options Common user interface across systems Easy to integrate existing and future systems Scalable from single road to country and state-wide 9

11 Architecture Overview PaaS and IaaS Versions Web UI API End Points Management Active Directory App Services Azure Service Bus Service Fabric Cluster Logic Apps Azure SQL Azure Data Warehouse Layered architecture that takes advantage of elastic cloud Platform as a Service that have elastic consumption cost models. Pay for what you use, the administration of system support and maintenance, redundancy and elasticity are automatically controlled. Using the same open source Microsoft product set, an equivalent on premise or any Infrastructure as a Service hosting provider. Equivalent PaaS providers exist with this same Off Azure capabilities, for example Rackspace.

13 Architecture Overview Virtual Architecture

14 ESB and Azure Track Records Cubic incorporate ESB architectures that support high volume transactions. These include cloud based, COTS and in-house developed architectures. We are currently hosting a number of services in the US in both the Microsoft Azure and Amazon AWS environments, and Cubic has significant experience across a number of Integration and ESB technologies. Cubic's global product launch in partnership with Microsoft in June 2016 of their NextTraffic product line which is hosted in Azure and on-premise uses ESB and the associated technologies extensively Other examples and technologies include: Cubic Next Traffic AFC London Oystercard Oyster Mobile Services. Next Integration Services (NIS) Vancouver, Chicago AFC Sydney (Opal Card System) AFC Germany Mobile and Bus applications ESB Azure Service Bus NServiceBus JBOSS Apache Camel Service Mix Oracle Service Bus
