Abstract
In 2007 Ministry of infrastructure and spatial planning launched a framework project on integrated
public transport in Slovenia aiming at establishment of an integrated public transport service based on
co-modality of railway, regional and city bus transit. This paper gives an overview of implemented
subprojects within the framework casting focus on the results of the “Elaboration of standard for
unified electronic ticket in Slovenia” subproject that was completed at the end of 2011. Electronic
ticketing systems and solutions are presented in the scope of public transport in Slovenia where
several custom-designed electronic ticketing systems already exist and operate. Currently applied and
state-of-the-art technologies and conceptions of card-based electronic ticketing systems world-wide
are given, with special attention to contactless cards, NFC mobile phones and bank cards and other
RFID technologies. Provided technology and economic analyses of different ticketing technologies
and concepts an open CI system based on MIFARE DesFIRE contactless card technology has been
proposed to be adopted as a nation-wide Slovenian standard of unified electronic ticket. Possibilities
of supporting technologies like the novel NFC and bank card ticketing have been studied to make the
system user friendly and all-encompassing. A proposal of Slovenian standard based on ISO 1545 and
ISO 15320 international standards is depicted in terms of preferences and weaknesses still to be
solved. The new ticketing system is also estimated in terms of implementation and up-keeping costs of
SW and HW and system organisation.
