eTicketing has to fulfil fundamental requirements – low infrastructure costs speak in favor of mobile phone s

� Mature technology

� Internationally successful approaches can not be transferred to Germany*)

� High costs for infrastructure make nation-wide systems inefficient

Premises

*) Those approaches are usually implemented in urban areas and within gating structures – Germany in contrast to that is a very heterogeneous country with open passenger traffic systems

�

contactless smartcard

� High customer acceptance

� Simple usage

� Cost effectiveness

� Suitable for mass use

� Broad adaptability of the solution to local and regional public transport, long-distance connections and additional mobility benefits, e.g. time schedule or trip planning

� One standard in Germany/ compatibility within Europa

� Security / verifiability

� Mobile phone ticketing can fundamentally satisfy the conditions

� High comfort level thanks to use of multifunctional devices

� Technology requires further development and testing

Touch&Travel uses mobile telecommunication networks for data transmission

Touch&Travel infrastructure and data transmission

■ Touchpoints do not need a direct connection to the backend system

■ No power supply and communication connection necessary

■ Localisation of Touchpoints through integrated simple radio chips with a unique identification number (ID)

■ The mobile phone assumes the active part and reads the identification number of the touchpoint via the NFC interface

■ Check-in and check-out data transmission through an existing infrastructure – the mobile phone network

DB ML AG

1. Customer shows his activated mobile phone 2. Ticket inspector holds his control card close

to the activated mobile phone 3. Within a second a control number (known only

by the ticket inspector) will be shown on the mobile phone‘s display

4. Verification has been successful if the correct control number is shown on the display

1. Customer shows his activated mobile phone 2. Ticket inspector checks the ticket with a mobile control

device (e.g. German Railway‘s „MT2“). A control data set is stored on the mobile phone and later transmitted to the background system

3. Touch&Travel can be controlled with any ISO certified control device

■ Touch&Travel is compliant with the German eTicketing standard VDV core application (VDV Kernapplikation)

■ All transactions (personalisation, issuing, logging, inspection) are processed according to the KA specification with all required cryptographic methods (including certificates)

■ Season tickets and other special tickets can easily be integrated in the Touch&Travel system by secure deposition on the SIM card. Ticket inspection will be handled the same way as for smart card based systems.
