Enabling more convenient travel, new program
includes a HCE Ticket Wallet Service and Ticketing App for a secure
transition from physical to virtual smart cards
Rambus Ecebs today announced Strathclyde Partnership for
Transport (SPT) will initiate a pilot program for the newly
announced HCE ticketing solution, which will be delivered by Nevis
Technologies, the joint venture company formed between Strathclyde
Partnership for Transport (SPT), Scotland’s largest regional
transport partnership, and Rambus Ecebs, a leader in smart
technology for transportation. Roll-out for the first HCE Ticketing
Solution is planned during 2017. The program uses a comprehensive
mobile ticketing product suite leveraging Host Card Emulation (HCE)
technology to securely load virtual smart cards onto smart phones.
The HCE Ticketing Solution can be implemented using existing smart
infrastructure and enables transport operators to easily and
securely transition from physical to virtual smart cards.
“This pilot program with Rambus Ecebs and the Nevis team helps
us build on our value proposition to make travel more convenient,
secure and efficient for our transport systems,” said Eric Stewart,
assistant chief executive, Strathclyde Partnership for Transport.
“The new solution leverages HCE technology, a proven technology in
mobile payments, to deliver secure mobile ticketing to NFC-enabled
smart phones across all mobile networks. Travelers can securely
select, purchase, download and use their ticket anywhere on the SPT
Subway.”
Rambus Ecebs will provide SPT with the HCE Ticket Wallet
Service, which securely provisions and manages a virtual smart card
to store tickets on the phone, and a configurable HCE Ticketing
App, which provides consumers with an interface to purchase,
fulfill and manage tickets. For transport operators, the Ticketing
App helps collect valuable traveler data and analytics to optimize
ticket offers, pricing, staffing and routes.
“This program brings more convenient, smart ticketing to
travelers,” said David Braddock, director of Nevis Technologies.
“Our mission is to deliver more value-added services and solutions
to the transport system and its consumers and we are excited to
launch this new pilot program.”
Select riders will be given the HCE Ticketing App, which is
fully integrated with Rambus Ecebs’ suite of smart ticketing
products. The app enables travelers to load smart tickets
immediately to a smart phone without needing to physically go to a
ticket machine. The HCE Ticketing Solution can be deployed with
existing ITSO-based infrastructure, the UK interoperable open
ticketing specification.
Deployment of this program will start in Q2/Q3 2017.
