After developing the business system TABS for Brisbane's Airtrain, Woodward IT was used to
develop their web site. The web site involved a substantial interaction
with their business system to ensure that the site displayed the most
current information and also become maintenance free.
The web site is now in its second skin, completely redesigned to
reflect the latest marketing motifs used in 2008.

Booking Tool
|
|
When people make their travel reservations on the web site, the
booking details are now entered directly into their reservations
system without the need for any other data entry or manual handling.
This saves a great deal of time for the reservations staff who
previously had to deal with 2 different numbering systems. The data
entry happens in real time.
The booking tool uses SSL to communicate with the TABS database
to save the booking as well as utilising the existing TABS payment
gateway so that every booking is secure and in real-time.

Interactive Maps
|
|
One of the features of the site is an interactive map which allows
users to find any rail station in South-East Queensland and then
determine the fare, travel time, where to change trains and how
much greenhouse gas they will be savng on their way to the airport.
The map was written in Flash and allows user to hover over their
station to see the information.
As well, there is an airport stations map which show where the
airport stations are in regards to the airport. For people new to
Brisbane, this is ideal in order to ensure they catch the train.

All of the information presented on the web site is sourced from
the TABS database in real time. There is no static information on

- Train timetables
- Greenhouse Gas Emissions based on actual trip data
- Fare information
- Scheduled maintenance
- Train station names
- Gold Coast accommodation and addresses
- The next departure times for trains from Brisbane and the Gold
