What’s in a TOS
• Operations• Planning• Execution Automation• Optimization (work in progress)
• Communications• Regulatory Compliance• Data Exchange with Carriers, Railroads, etc.• WWW access for Customers, Partners
• Interface to External Systems• Position Detection, Optical Character Recognition, Gate Complex• Reporting: Executive and Operating Dashboards• Finance & Billing

Characteristics of World Class TOS
• Flexible• Configuration vs. Customization• Adaptable to changing business requirements• Able to meet diverse customer (and regulatory) needs
• Open Architecture – Standards based• Communications with outside world (EDI)• Standards-based Integration with external systems, i.e. PDS, OCR,
Gate • Documented APIs• Open Data Access: Reporting, Dashboards, WWW

As additional inputs are added, cost and complexity of TOS integration increases.
Exception Handling is Complicated, requiring the ability to apply logic and rules to sensory inputs and events.
Can the central TOS architecture handle this effectively?
