e-Ticketing
e-Ticketing is electronic payment for public transport: bus, train, metro (and even airlines). There is no need for small change and no more waiting in line to buy a ticket. A chip card is everything a traveller will need. In view of ever-increasing costs of transport by car and the still unsolved problem of traffic congestion, the role of public transport is expected to become more and more important to a country's economy. The e-Ticketing system consists of several levels. On the bottom level, a traveller will use the chip card to travel from A to B. At higher levels, there are selling points, card readers, check points etc. Each separate public transport company has its own central system for the recording all registration and transaction data. At the highest level the central processing system will receive all data generated by the transport companies. On the basis of this data, the central system will make payments between the companies. It will manage the automatic recharging of chip cards and it will look into the registration and communication concerning invalid cards. It will also provide facilities to personalise chip cards. Millions of transactions are expected to be handled correctly and securely in cities worldwide.
