Improved Visibility ⇒ Reaction ⇒ Confidence ⇒ Safety Reliable visibility under challenging conditions enhances safety and capacity LEDline® drastically improves the visibility of critical markings & objects (painted lines, barriers, signs etc.) Improved marking / sign distance visibility gives drivers more time to react = less hesitation & confusion = improved safety = less accidents = reduced delays = increased road capacity. Contributes to increased capacity and efficiency for roadways and airports. CONFIDENTIAL 15 ©2004, HIL-Tech Ltd

Visibility You Can Count On Unlike paint or reflective systems, LEDline® does not require an external light source to function. Highly visible in all adverse weather conditions (e.g. heavy rain, fog, frost, snow, dust). At night, even visible under 25.4mm (1”) snow. LEDlineDV™, the new semi-directional high- brightness version is also highly visible in adverse conditions. CONFIDENTIAL 16 ©2004, HIL-Tech Ltd

LEDline® - Benefits for Customers LEDlineHB™, the new Omni-directional high- brightness version is excellent for highlighting barriers and is also highly visible in adverse conditions, and LEDlineSunHB™ is even brighter. Low powered - provides for better electrical safety and also allows the use of alternate renewable energy supplies. LED light source ⇒ high energy efficiency, long economic (useful) life, and virtually maintenance- free. . Therefore ... operating costs are very low ! CONFIDENTIAL 17 ©2004, HIL-Tech Ltd

Traffic Congestion Costs . According to the Texas Transportation Institute’s (TTI) Annual Mobility Report, 2006, which tracks the costs of traffic immobility in 68 urban areas, estimates of the wasted time and gas, being paid by drivers stuck in today’s traffic jams, is around US$72 billion a year or about US$755 annually per driver. . Startling figures come from The American Highway Users Alliance that focused on standing up for a traffic-weary public – “a public has lost patience with 3.5 billion hours of wasted time, 5.7 billion gallons of wasted fuel, and nearly 43,000 annual roadway fatalities”. . . The 2007 Texas Transportation Institute’s Annual Mobility report, now says that congestion creates $78 billion annual drain to the US economy, which is made up of lost hours and 2.9 billion gallons of wasted fuel = 105 million weeks of vacation and equal to 58 fully laden supertankers. . . All these statistics were done before the price of oil hit US$140.00 per barrel and average gas being $4.10 per gallon; on the 14th July 2008 the selling price in Ontario was CDN$1.36 per liter. And, these price estimates do not include the health costs breathing in the concentrated traffic congestion pollution, for either the motorists, or the residential neighbourhoods, and the impact of increased health costs the traffic congestion concentrated pollutants cause in by the sick, elderly and young; so today, the costs to the consumer / government is much worse.

Dynamic Road Markings . Dynamic Road Markings (DRM), Safely Reducing Traffic Gridlock, yet Still Ensuring Highway Safety. Many countries are looking at this as a possible way forward in preventing gridlock. The Highways Authority in the Netherlands has successfully used DRM hard shoulder running since 1999 and Germany since 1999 – 2000 . . There are two basic scenarios to maximizing road rush hour use; . A. Needs to be researched: Temporary Creating Narrower Extra Lane/s for Rush Hour Traffic Use, would Enable the Maximum Temporary Extra Road Capacity: To create the most capacity, within the same infrastructure, would require narrower temporary extra lanes during peak traffic times. Here LEDlineSunDVTM would provide the Dynamic Road Markings rush hour variable lane guidance system. During rush hours, when traffic speeds are reduced by traffic congestion to < 30kh (20mph or less), the system would be switch on and motorists would follow the narrower lit guidance lanes, in preference to the painted lane markings. If successful it would allow the most increase in capacity for the most roads. . B. To use the hard shoulders of the freeways, either sides, or only the outside hard shoulder lane. . CONFIDENTIAL 44 ©2004, HIL-Tech Ltd

Hard Shoulder Use . There are Two Scenarios Here; . A. To use the emergency lane hard shoulders on both sides of the road , to expand highway capacity. . B. To use just the fast lane emergency hard shoulder . . A. Whilst the outside hard shoulder is relatively easy to use, with a combination of overhead signs and in-pavement lighting, (see option B), the inside hard should has both the exits and entrances to the freeway to cope with, as well as allowing motorists to run through the intersection. Here there would need to be both overhead signs and dynamic markings, which could to provide the necessary guidance, change and move to the right configuration when needed. The Highways Authority in the Netherlands has successfully used hard shoulder running since 1999 and Germany since 1999 – 2000. The UK which has hard shoulders only on the inside of their motorways, are interested in this area to expand their road capacity and are beginning to conduct research. . . B. The easiest and least controversial capacity expansion also provides for the least highway capacity expansion. Provided the inside emergency lane is always available and kept open for emergency and distressed vehicles and the outside hard shoulder lane can easily be used and if necessary retrieved for emergency use. .

LEDline® Lighting is Versatile! . As it is already being used for; airport guidance applications, and helicopter pads; for helicopter navigational guidance on ships; as well as road guidance, highlighting barriers, for signage and for in- pavement markings and signs.

North West Airline Chief Pilot Assessment of the Anchorage International LEDline® Installation. “The lights are bright and highly visible in all weather conditions and have been helpful in speeding up the process of properly aligning the aircraft at the gates. “ “The feedback from the Pilots was very positive. • The Pilots were impressed with how visible the system was in the snow; • All thought that the guidance provided by the LED line was better than the standard green taxiway center line lighting. • They also liked the directionality each light source provided.” “The differences between the systems were especially noticeable in heavy snow, low visibility conditions, where the linear aspect of each of the LED lines providing direction was very helpful.” . “I would recommend installing LED line at all our gates system wide.” May 2008 CONFIDENTIAL 52 ©2004, HIL-Tech Ltd

Alaska Airline Chief Pilot Assessment of the Anchorage International LEDline® Installation. The feedback from the Pilots and Ramp Crews has been very positive. The lights are bright and highly visible in all weather conditions. Marshalers (ramp crew) credit the system with making the job of aligning the jet with the jet bridge much easier since the pilots can see the J-line with greater ease. I recommend installing LEDline® at all our gates. Clearly the LEDline® would have other Airport applications that could increase Situational awareness and enhance safety during both ground and flight operations. I encourage you to promote your LEDline® product to the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration, Airline Pilots Association and Airlines.
