Transport ticketing
详情介绍
Driving multi-application & transport ticketing on open standards
The public transport sector is one of the fastest growing markets for smart card and security ICs. Ticketing is also the most frequently added function to multi-application cards such as dual-interface payment or identification cards.
All over the world, transport providers are challenged to put easy, affordable, secure and environmentally sound public transport services in place.
Rising performance and security challenges
Modernized infrastructures present their own technical challenges, however. Unlike other smart card applications for payment or identification, ticketing is contactless and has to rapidly handle extremely high – and rising – passenger numbers. Ticketing operators therefore have to deliver much greater speed and superior contactless performance than that typically required for other applications. In addition to speed, passengers expect the ultimate in convenience and reliability.
