CORRIDOR <strong>10</strong> - a sustainable way of integrations<br />

With more than 52 million Calypso cards and 260.000 readers at the beginning of 20<strong>10</strong>, Calypso is the<br />

largest microprocessor based smart card technology ticketing system. The number of Calypso users is<br />

constantly increasing all over the world. Calypso is currently presented in Belgium, Canada, China,<br />

France, Israel, Italy, Portugal, United Kingdom, etc.<br />

FELICA [6] is a contactless smart card by Sony, which was originally intended to pay fares for public<br />

transport in Hong Kong. Due to its functionality and ease of use is now being extended for payment of<br />

products in all kinds of shops and vending machines. There was an attempt to specify FeliCa as "ISO<br />

14443 Type C", but this initiative did not end up in the final standard.<br />

FELICA is “the facto” standard in Japan and it is used in many industry areas. FeliCa is used in<br />

transportation tickets for railways and buses in Japan and many other countries in Asia [6].<br />

MIFARE [7] is a registered trademark of NXP semiconductors for a series of chips in contactless smart<br />

cards. It is the most widely used technology in the world (according to some estimates MIFARE cards<br />

account for 80% of the market of public transport - more than one billion cards issued since 1994).<br />

MIFARE covers different kinds of contactless cards whereby in public transportation are mostly used<br />

MIFARE Classic (memory card), MIFARE Plus (security upgrade to MIFARE Classic), MIFARE<br />

Ultralight (inexpensive memory card) and MIFARE DESFire (microprocessor smart card).<br />

MIFARE technology is used in many industry areas while in public transportation this technology is<br />

applied in more than 650 cities all over the world. Currently more than 50 countries adopted MIFARE<br />

technology. MIFARE technology is also the only technology used in the electronic ticketing systems in<br />

Slovenian public transport.<br />

3. NEW TECHNOLOGIES IN PUBLIC TRANSPORT<br />

Throughout the world, public transportation is "smart," and getting smarter. Transit authorities want to<br />

go away from proprietary-based systems and into new, open standards and open fare payment<br />

technologies. By using open standards, transit authorities can procure fare collection equipment from<br />

multiple vendors and rely on it to work together seamlessly. Open payment systems allow use of smart<br />

cards and similar devices that passengers already have, rather than requiring them to use a card<br />

dedicated to a specific transit authority. In an open payment system, riders can use the existing<br />

contactless credit and debit cards (like MasterCard PayPass and Visa PayWave) to pay their fare<br />

directly, by tapping the card on a fare-gate or bus fare-box. Other contactless smart cards, such as<br />

university, government, and corporate IDs, and mobile phones (NFC), can also be used in open<br />

payment systems, as well, allowing transit users to pay their fare using cards and devices they already<br />

dispose of.<br />

NFC and contactless payment cards are already available and very promising for use with transport<br />

applications.<br />

Near Field Communication (NFC) [8] is a standards-based, short-range wireless connectivity<br />

technology that enables simple and intuitive two-way interactions between electronic devices. With<br />

NFC technology, consumers can perform contactless transactions, access digital content and connect<br />

NFC-enabled devices with a single touch. NFC simplifies setup of some longer-range wireless<br />

technologies, such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. It is also compliant with the global contactless standards<br />

(ISO 14443 and/or ISO 18092), which means transport agencies that have already deployed<br />

contactless programs enjoy a built-in advantage, as their equipment may readily interact with NFCenabled<br />

mobile devices and provide richer services.<br />

The NFC Forum has identified three basic use cases for NFC: connection, access, and transactions.<br />

All three have application in public transport. For example, an NFC-enabled phone can connect with<br />

an NFC-enabled kiosk to download a ticket, or the ticket can be sent directly to an NFC-enabled<br />

phone over the air (OTA). The phone can then tap a reader to redeem that ticket and gain access.<br />
