EUROPEAN OPEN PLATFORM FOR SMART CARD TICKETING, PAYMENT AND MULTISERVICES IN INTEROPERABLE MASS TRANSIT APPLICATIONS

Project description


ICT for Mobility of the Future

EUROPTIMAChanging the paradigm in data and fare collection systems
EUROPTIMA addresses the need for implementing data and fare collection systems adapted to the requirements of mass transit operators in terms of cost of implementation, cost of operation, modularity of the system and flexibility in terms of fare evolutions, interoperability and customer relationship. In particular, EUROPTIMA targets the small operations, which normally do not have the investment resources for the current rather monolithic teleticketing systems and require a flexible environment.EUROPTIMA stabilises and pilots a modular, of the shelf, customisable and scalable components and interfaces for building fare collection systems based on CALYPSO specifications and other industry open standards to be used by small scale transport and mobility related operations. This includes the definition of the open hardware based on existing platforms (e.g. NFC telephones, bank POS, ...) and the specification of a modular software framework also able to be compatible and integrated with existing back-office environments.The innovative end-to-end architecture allows the usage and management of various types of terminal, in particular thin-client terminals, multia-pplications payment & e-ticketing with high security levels.EUROPTIMA is operated by a consortium of highly professional and complementary organisations, led by CNA (Calypso networks association, BE). It regroups 2 major public transport operators groups, OTLIS (PT) and VEOLIA (FR), 1 industrial company, CARD4B/YOUMOVE (PT) and one specialised consultancy, MTA (BE).
