Advanced ticketing demos by the Calypso Networks Association
The Calypso Networks Association has created several innovative demos to showcase the potential of Keyple Java-based ticketing terminals, which are representative of the use cases encountered in public transport ticketing.
-
Demo Reload Remote (client/server environment):
- On the client side, an Android application loaded in a standard NFC smartphone provides the means to a customer to make the ticket purchase. The Android NFC plugin is used to communicate with the contactless card, and the Calypso card commands are fully managed by the back-office ticketing server using the Keyple Distributed solution.
- On the server side, the back-office includes a Java server application to process the ticketing sale and manage the Calypso secure session to reload contracts in remote cards. The server manages a pool of Calypso SAM using the PC/SC plugin and the Calypso SAM resource manager.
-
- An autonomous validator on Android-based ticketing terminal that seamlessly starts a secure session when a contactless card is detected.
- The machine checks the last transport event and the available ticketing contracts.
- If access is granted, a new event is written.
-
- A hand-held inspection terminal on Android portable terminal that allows an operator to check the content of a card.
- The application verifies the validity of the last transport event regarding the current time and location.
- Finally, it displays the result.
The “Validation” and “Control” demos can be installed on various terminals such as Coppernic, Famoco, Flowbird, and Bluebird, using the dedicated plugins provided by CNA.
