The digital age has swept the telephony word by storm and it continues to be an important innovation and factor for continuous change and growth. With smartphones at our disposal, we have grown accustomed to its use in our daily lives. Smart Mobility is more then just a phrase, it is a fact and it is a means on how we plan to travel in the future.

 

Smart Mobility is coming to transportation, whether we like it or not. Smartphone APPs have brought travel planning, live access to transportation status, online access to travel information and much more.

 

The aviation industry has already welcomed e-tickets and online payments. The next industry to follow will be the ground transportation, rail operators, bus operators, and city transportation. Pay as you travel will be based on where you travel.

 

SUNTIS has the solutions, which will enable the traveller to access the user-centered ticketing services at the palm of the hand. The transportation operator on the other hand will have a tool to easily manage the whole process and workflow with one single system.

 

Not only does e-ticketing promise to the transport organization a significant reduction in the operating and maintenance cost, but it also offers more flexibility in the fare structures as it opens new payment options. SunTiS’ solution can be easily integrated into the existing ticketing system as a complementary payment method.

 

 

APP for the PASSENGER

SUNTIS offers an APP for the iOS, Android and Microsoft operating systems. With the APP, depending on the methodology used, the passenger is in control of his travel cost. Not only will the passenger be able to book his trip, but he will also be able to view all the data associated with trips during a set period, such as cost, itinerary, date and time.

 

The communication between the APP and the mobility server is secured. SUNTIS will provide the complete APP or integrate the functionality into an existing APP of the transport operator.

 

APP for the INSPECTION PERSONNEL

Often the inspection personnel of the transport operator will perform routine checks in order to verify whether passengers have a valid travel authorization or not. SUNTIS offers an APP for the iOS, Android and Microsoft operating systems, which allows the personnel to check the passenger’s travel authorization.

SUNTIS' ETRAVEL Mobility Platform supports passenger access technologies

 

Travel Ticket

Passenger purchases the desired ticket before the voyage and stores the ticket on the smartphone. The ticket can be paid immediately or can be charged on the passenger’s bill and invoiced at the end of the billing period.

 

CICO/CIBO (CheckIn-CheckOut / CheckIn-BeOut)

The passenger’s registration device is the smartphone. For the CICO procedure, the passenger “Checks-In” at the originating station and after reaching the destination, the passenger “Checks-Out”. The smartphone sends the travel ticket to the Mobility Platform.

The CIBO procedure is similar to the CICO procedure, with the difference that already at the origin, the passenger may insert the destination.

 

BIBO (BeIn-BeOut)

This is the most comfortable solution from the passenger’s point of view. No interaction from the passenger is required, the only thing that the passenger needs to have with him is the smartphone. The registration automatically occurs after the passenger boards the vehicle. After leaving, the passenger is automatically de-registered. A single travel ticket could be the combination of different vehicle changes.  The ETRAVEL Mobility Platform keeps track of everything and automatically charges the passenger.
