ANNEX I
SYSTEM DEPLOYMENT IN KOREA
STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)
1. GENERAL
This document provides a description of the activities to be carried out by the
Supplier and the Customer as a part of the deployment of Radio Location System
in the Territory, including the responsibilities of each Party.
To insure successful deployment and based on the experience of previous
deployments of this System in other countries, a "Phased" approach is proposed.
It is based on the initial deployment of Phase One System in Seoul metropolitan
and its vicinity areas. Phase One will serve as a basis for the future
deployments, will enable proper adaptation to specific local conditions, to
train local technical and operational personnel and to serve as an initial and
demonstration System for various marketing activities. After completion of Phase
One deployment, its initial trial run and performing all necessary further
modifications and adaptations, further deployment can be commenced. The Phase
One System will also serve as a basis for the System Acceptance Testing, after
successful completion of which the System and the issuance of System Acceptance
Certificate will be officially handed over to the responsibility of the Customer
(or the Operation Company).
The total System shall be guaranteed by the Supplier, provided that the Customer
shall do reasonably best efforts to collaborate with the Supplier.
2. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The System for locating vehicles, cargo; people and etc., and exchanging short
messages and receiving alarms is composed of the three following sub-systems:
i. Network Control Center (NCC)
ii. Base Stations
iii. End User Terminal
o PAL (Personal Alarm and Locator)
o VLU (Vehicle Location Unit)
o Transmitter/receiver installed in the cargo, asset or etc.
2.1 NCC
The NCC is usually installed in the same building with other offices of the
Operation Company. The NCC is composed of a number of computer systems with
dedicated software, workstations
Annex I Page 1
Vision Plant Inc. Telematics Wireless Ltd.
for operators, and communication systems that connect NCC with the Base
Stations. The NCC is the heart of the system, and its availability is of the
utmost importance. NCC's systems have a hot backup and all its infrastructures
(electricity, communication lines, air-conditioning, etc.) are also backed-up. A
general description of the NCC is provided in Appendix E of this Annex. The
Operator Station's language will be both the English language and the Korean
language. The back-office capabilities, including billing are not part of the
proposed System in this Agreement and should be chosen by the Customer based on
the local systems and regulations from local vendors. However, for the
clarification purposes, all the technical supports for the interface of the
capabilities shall be provided by the Supplier.
2.2 BASE STATIONS
The Base Stations are installed in the chosen locations scattered in required
coverage area and constitute receive-only or receive/transmit sites. The Base
Stations include computer-controlled receivers that receive signals from the VLU
or PAL and transfer the information to the NCC via the communication lines for
further processing and display.
Some of the Base Stations are equipped with standard paging transmitters
controlled by special controllers. The transmitters receive the information from
the NCC and transmit it to the VLU or PAL in a synchronized form. These
transmissions serve for synchronization of all active VLUs/PALs and
interrogation of the chosen unit. The transmitters are timed by GPS receivers
installed at the stations.
Some of the Base Stations contain special synchronization transmitters,
responsible for precise calibration of the stations. All of the stations are
equipped with appropriate antennas installed on masts, lightning protection
systems, air-conditioning and UPS systems.

APPENDIX E
Operational NCC General Description
1. GENERAL
The purpose of this document is to describe Xxxxxx's Operational NCC.
[GRAPHIC OMITTED]
2. EVENT SERVER
2.1 GENERAL
The Event server functionality manages the operational NCC's activities. It
receives all incoming alarms received by the Ituran location system from the end
units and routes them to operator workstations. All the operator workstations
are connected to this server. In addition, the workstations are connected to the
location system gateway, and through this gateway they are able to send commands
to the end units and receive messages from the end units (such as location and
various status messages).
The Event Server also takes part in the unit activation process, the concluding
part of every new end unit installation.
2.2 MAIN USER INTERFACE
i. List of connected Operator Workstations with list of events in every station
and their status
ii. Communication monitor to the Operator Workstations over TCP/IP
iii. Control of all the NCC's operational parameters (method of workstation
routing and load balancing, operational policy control, workstation role
definitions etc.)
2.3 COMMUNICATION TO OPERATOR WORKSTATIONS
The Event Server is connected over TCP/IP to the Operator Workstations. Each
incoming Event message is routed to a workstation selected according to a few
alternate algorithms (the least busy workstation, the "next available" or
according to event type). Only this station can then handle this incoming event.
Main features are:
i. New incoming event will be routed to the relevant Operator Workstation that
has currently the lowest number of pending events, or by other parameters
detailed above.
Annex I Page 33
Vision Plant Inc. Telematics Wireless Ltd.
o New event will be added to the list of events.
o An option to temporarily stop routing new events to a specific
Controller Station
ii. Temporarily or permanently close down a specific Operator Workstation and
transfer existing events to another Operator Workstation.
o Transferring events from one Operator Workstation to another Operator
Workstation
iii. Automatic synchronization between Operator Workstation and Event Server
upon re-connection.
3. OPERATOR WORKSTATION
3.1 OPERATOR WORKSTATION MAIN FEATURES:
One, two or four opened mapping windows with option to display a different type
of map in each window (subject to maps availability).
i. A list of open events and their status
ii. Automatic sorting of incoming alarms risk level based on operational
scenarios entered into the system
iii. Full and unit communication abilities, allowing it to both monitor the unit
status and send commands to the unit.
iv. Support vector, raster and aerial photo maps
v. Specific vehicle real-time tracking
3.2 VEHICLE DETAILS SCREEN
This screen displays all vehicle telematics information such as: sensors,
location, velocity and direction (subject to availability of relevant sensors in
the vehicle).
3.3 VEHICLE COMMAND DIALOG OPTION
This dialog option is used for sending various commands to the vehicle,
including: location, enabling/disabling vehicle devices.
3.4 VEHICLE DISPLAY ON THE MAP
The vehicle will be displayed on the map with an icon. The icon is derived from
the relevant vehicle group.
3.5 RECORD AND REPLAY
All incoming and outgoing messages are recorded. The Controller can invoke a
report on any desired event. The report is generated as a table of events, which
can be replayed graphically on the map.

ANNEX I - SOW
APPENDIX F
REQUIREMENTS FROM DIGITAL MAPPING CONTENT
LOCATIONET GIS V2.1
1. GENERAL
LocatioNet real-time GIS engines use an underlying layer of propriety GIS binary
data, which is built from spatial databases (digital mapping content). Spatial
databases are supplied by data providers that collect and distribute digital map
information. There are many data providers around the world with different
distribution formats. LocatioNet recommends using data from one of the two major
and leading vendors, TeleAtlas or NavTech if possible, yet will work with the
Customer's chosen vendor. The two most popular data formats used for
distribution are Mif/Mid text files (developed by MapInfo) and binary Shape
files (developed by ESRI). Data can be easily transformed from one format to the
other. Digital data includes two types of information: geographical layers and
the road network. The geographical layers are used for vector maps drawing. The
road network is used for drawing, routing, creating geocode databases and
reverse geocoding.
1.1 GEOGRAPHICAL LAYERS
Each geographical layer binds geographical items with a common denominator (e.g.
gas stations, parks etc.). Each geographical item has a set of coordinates that
define its location and shape, and a set of attributes that define its look on
the map. The shapes can be of any type, such as: points, lines, polylines,
polygons and regions (xor combinations of multiple polygons). Examples for
geographical layers:
i. Administrative areas (e.g. states, provinces, cities etc.)
ii. Water areas (e.g. rivers, lakes, ponds etc.)
iii. Woodland
iv. Parks
v. Railroads
vi. POI (points of interest) (e.g. restaurants, hospitals, gas stations etc.)
1.2 ROAD NETWORK LAYER
The road layer represents the road network. This layer is very complex;
therefore a lot of information is needed. The road network consists of
intersecting roads. An intersection between two roads is called a node
(junction). A section of a road that lies between two nodes is called a road
segment; therefore every segment has a starting node and an ending node. Each
road can be constructed from one or more road segments. Each road segment has a
set of coordinates that define its location and shape, and a set of attributes
that define the complexity of use of this layer. The shape of a road segment is
always a line or a polyline.
Annex I Page 35
Vision Plant Inc. Telematics Wireless Ltd.
[GRAPHIC OMITTED]
2. MAPS ENGINE
The vector maps engine displays both geographical layers and the road network.
2.1 MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR AN OBJECT IN A GEOGRAPHICAL LAYER
i. Unique object id
ii. Name (if any, or blank)
2.2 ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR AN OBJECT IN A GEOGRAPHICAL LAYER
o Type (i.e. in the water layer, types can be: river, lake, pond etc.)
Once the type is supplied, there is an option to control each type's draw
attributes separately, instead of applying the same attributes for the entire
layer.
2.3 MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR DRAWING A ROAD SEGMENT
i. Segment id, unique in its country
ii. Road level (i.e. national, between cities, main in city, neighborhood etc.)
Road levels function the same way as geographical layers types.
2.4 ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR DRAWING A ROAD SEGMENT
i. Road type (i.e. highway, ramp, bridge, tunnel, circuit, pedestrian walkway
etc. - allow drawing special features inside road levels)
ii. Road Z level (i.e. a bridge going over a road will have a higher z level)
iii. Route number, if available
iv. Road name constructed of prefix, base name and suffix (i.e. if there isn't
any sufficient space to draw Calle de Xxxxxx Xxxxx, perhaps there is for Xxxxxx)
v. Road dividers
vi. Traffic lights
3. GEOCODE ENGINE
The road network is also used for building geocode databases (i.e. all the
cities in state, all the streets in city etc.), and for reverse geocoding (i.e.
getting the address of a given coordinates). It is important to get a
description of the administrative hierarchy that the data supports, in order to
fully understand each country's attributes (e.g. Israel has county, cities and
streets while Austria has country, states, cities and streets, etc.).
Annex I Page 36
Vision Plant Inc. Telematics Wireless Ltd.
3.1 MINIMUM GEOCODE REQUIREMENTS
