Solutions for contactless EMV bank cards
AEP is strengthening its leadership in the implementation of EMV bank card-based systems in accordance with Transport for London's Transit model, not only with the automatic application of the best fare but also with additional functions, such as multi-passenger and the possibility of use in suburban areas.
With ET-MOBILE, modern apps are complemented by a much-loved solution from the past, the paper ticket, with all its advantages and without the problems that characterised it. Smart paper tickets are equipped with QR codes and can be issued by all devices in the system (ticket offices, TVMs, e-commerce portals, on-board devices, etc.) or mass-produced in print shops and distributed to retailers or staff. Complex tickets are possible, such as multi-passenger tickets, multi-trip carnets and check-in/check-out, both on paper tickets and on apps. ET-MOBILE also solves one of the major problems of ABT systems, as it can operate for a certain period of time even without communication with the centre, thanks to an optimised local replica of the database contained in the central system; this is not only for validation and verification purposes but also for sales, which can thus also take place on buses.
Improvements in communication networks have made it possible to implement Account Based Ticketing (ABT) systems, in which data is stored in a customer account in the central cloud system rather than on a card. Cards are used solely to identify the holder and do not carry any other information, while the process takes place in real time in the central system and no longer locally. This makes it possible to use any card, such as a bank or health card, as a physical means of paying for public transport.
The Electronic Ticketing System is a living entity that is constantly evolving, both because of the very nature of public transport, which must adapt every day to the needs of a constantly changing world, and because the information produced by the system is a valuable tool that allows management to constantly improve the service. The best systems and most advanced products can therefore only be exploited properly with efficient, flexible and responsive support services such as those offered by AEP, which guarantees them for at least 10 years from purchase.
