Public transport - Interoperable fare management system - Part 1: Architecture (ISO 24014-1:2007)

ISO 24014-1:2007 provides the basis for the development of multi-operator/multi-service Interoperable public surface (including subways) transport Fare Management Systems (IFMSs) on a national and international level.
ISO 24014-1:2007 is applicable to bodies in public transport and related services which agree that their systems need to interoperate.
While ISO 24014-1:2007 does not imply that existing interoperable fare management systems need to be changed, it applies, so far as it is practically possible, to extensions of these.
ISO 24014-1:2007 covers the definition of a conceptual framework, which is independent of organisational and physical implementation. Any reference within ISO 24014-1:2007 to organisational or physical implementation is purely informative.
The objective of ISO 24014-1:2007 is to define a reference functional architecture for IFMSs and to identify the requirements that are relevant to ensure interoperability between several actors in the context of the use of electronic tickets.
The IFMS includes all the functions involved in the fare management process, such as
management of Application;
management of Products;
security management;
certification, registration and identification.
ISO 24014-1:2007 defines the following main elements:
identification of the different functional entities in relation to the overall fare management system;
a generic model of IFMS describing the logical and functional architecture and the interfaces within the system and with other IFMSs;
use cases describing the interactions and data flows between the different functional entities;
security requirements.
ISO 24014-1:2007 excludes consideration of
the physical medium and its management;
the technical aspects of the interface between the medium and the medium access device;
the data exchanges between the medium and the medium access device, which are proposed by other standardisation committees;
the financial aspects of fare management systems (e.g. customer payments, method of payment, settlement, apportionment, reconciliation).

Transport public - Système de gestion de titres de transport interopérables - Partie 1 : Architecture (ISO/DIS 24014-1:2005)

La présente norme fournit les bases pour développer des systèmes billettiques interopérables (IFM) multi-transporteurs / multi-services, tant à l'échelle nationale qu'internationale.
La présente norme internationale s'applique aux organismes de transport public et aux services connexes qui conviennent de rendre leurs systèmes intéropérables
Même si la présente norme n'implique pas qu'il soit nécessaire de modifier les systèmes billettiques interopérables existants, elle s'applique, dans toute la mesure du possible, à leurs extensions futures.
L'objectif de la présente norme est de définir une architecture fonctionnelle de référence pour les systèmes IFM et d'identifier les exigences de nature à assurer l'interopérabilité entre plusieurs acteurs dans le contexte de l'utilisation de titres de transport électroniques.
Le concept de système billettique interopérable (IFM) comprend l'ensemble des fonctions du processus de gestion des titres de transport :
-   Gestion d'application
-   Gestion des titres
-   Gestion de la sécurité
-   Certification, enregistrement et identification
Les travaux correspondants ont bénéficié des travaux réalisés en matière d'architecture des systèmes de péage électronique (TC278/WG1 EFC) et dans d'autres domaines tels que :
-   L'ENV ISO 14904 "Applications télématiques pour le transport routier et la circulation routière - Perception du télépéage - Spécification des interfaces pour la compensation des recettes entre opérateurs"
-   L'ENV ISO 17573 "Applications télématiques pour le transport routier et la circulation routière - Perception du télépéage - Architecture système pour systèmes de transport embarqués sur le véhicule"
-   les normes internationales existantes en matière de sécurité des données
-   L'ENV 12896 "Applications télématiques pour le transport routier et la circulation routière - Modèle de données de référence " (Transmodel).
La présente norme ne tient pas compte :
-   du support physique et de sa gestion ;
-   des aspects techniques de l'interface entre le support et les terminaux bilettiques ;
-   des échanges de données entre le support et le terminal billettique ;
NOTE   Les échanges de données entre le support et le terminal billettique sont traités par d'autres comités de normalisation comme par exemple le CEN TC 224 WG11.
-   des aspects financiers des systèmes billettiques (par exemple le paiements par le client, les méthodes de paiement, le règlement, l'imputation, le rapprochement).
La partie 1 de la présente norme décrit les principaux éléments suivants :
-   L'identification des différentes entités fonctionnelles en relation avec le système billettique.
-   La définition d'un modèle générique de système IFM décrivant l'architecture logique et fonctionnelle ainsi que les interfaces au sein du système et avec d'autres systèmes IFM.
-   Les cas d'utilisation décrivant les interactions et flux de données entre les différentes entités  fonctionnelles.
-   La description des exigences de sécurité.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 24014-1 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee
CEN/TC 278, Road transport and traffic telematics, in collaboration with Technical Committee ISO/TC 204,
Intelligent transport systems, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and
CEN (Vienna Agreement).
ISO 24014 consists of the following parts, under the general title Public transport — Interoperable fare
management system:
⎯ Part 1: Architecture
iv © ISO 2007 – All rights reserved

ISO 24014-1:2007(E)
Introduction
Interoperable fare management (IFM) encompasses all systems and processes designed to manage the
distribution and use of fare products in an interoperable public transport environment.
Such systems are called interoperable when they enable the customer to use a portable electronic medium
(e.g. a contact/contactless smart card) with compatible equipment (e.g. at stops, with retail systems, at
platform entry points or on board vehicles). IFM concepts can also be applied to fare management systems
not using electronic media.
Potential benefits for the customer include reductions in queuing, special and combined fares, one Medium for
multiple applications, loyalty programmes and seamless journeys.
Interoperability of fare management systems also provides benefits to operators and the other parties involved.
However, it requires an overall system architecture that defines the system functionalities, the Actors involved
and their roles, the relationships and the interfaces between them.
Interoperability requires also the definition of a security scheme to protect privacy, integrity and confidentiality
between the Actors to ensure fair and secure data flow within the IFM system (IFMS).
The overall architecture is the subject of this part of ISO 24014, which recognizes the need for legal and
commercial agreements between members of an IFM, but does not specify their form. The technical
specifications of the Component parts, and particularly the standards for Customer Media (e.g. smart cards),
are not included.
Note that there is not one single IFM. Individual operators, consortia of operators, public authorities and
private companies can manage and/or participate in IFMs. An IFM can span country boundaries, and can be
combined with other IFMs. Implementations of IFMSs require security and registration functionalities. This part
of ISO 24014 allows for the distribution of these functions to enable the coordination/convergence of existing
IFMSs to work together.
This part of ISO 24014 is intended to assist the managers of new and existing fare management systems to
find a way conveniently to establish Interoperability for the benefit of their customers.
This part of ISO 24014 intends to provide three main benefits.
a) It provides a framework for an interoperable fare management implementation with a minimum of
complexity.
b) It aims to shorten the time and lower the cost of IFM procurement, as both suppliers and purchasers
understand what is being purchased. Procurement against an open standard reduces cost, as it avoids
the need for expensive bespoke system development and provides for second sourcing.
c) It aims to simplify Interoperability between IFMs to the benefit of all stakeholders.
The work has benefited from the architecture work done in Electronic Fee Collection (CEN/TC 278/WG 1) and
other domains, including the following:
⎯ ISO/TS 14904, Road transport and traffic telematics — Electronic fee collection (EFC) — Interface
specification for clearing between operators;
⎯ ISO/TS 17573, Road Transport and Traffic Telematics — Electronic Fee Collection (EFC) — Systems
architecture for vehicle related transport services;
⎯ existing international data security standards.

implementation is purely informative.
The objective of this part of ISO 24014 is to define a reference functional architecture for IFMSs and to identify
the requirements that are relevant to ensure Interoperability between several Actors in the context of the use
of electronic tickets.
The IFMS includes all the functions involved in the fare management process, such as
⎯ management of Application;
⎯ management of Products;
⎯ security management;
⎯ certification, registration and identification.
This part of ISO 24014 defines the following main elements:
⎯ identification of the different functional entities in relation to the overall fare management system;
⎯ a generic model of IFMS describing the logical and functional architecture and the interfaces within the
system and with other IFMSs;
⎯ Use Cases describing the interactions and data flows between the different functional entities;
⎯ security requirements.
This part of ISO 24014 excludes consideration of
⎯ the physical Medium and its management;
⎯ the technical aspects of the interface between the Medium and the Medium Access Device;

4 Requirements
The purpose of ISO 24014 is to achieve Interoperability throughout fare management systems, while making
sure that participating companies in public transport remain as commercially free as possible to design their
own implementation in pursuing their own business strategies.
Specific requirements of the IFMS model are as follows.
⎯ A Customer shall be able to travel with all participating operators (the seamless journey) using a single
Medium.
⎯ There shall be a capability to extract data appropriate to the revenue-sharing and statistical requirements
of the transport operators.
⎯ The same Medium may carry additional Applications; conversely, other media may carry the IFM
Application.
⎯ The ticketing methods associated with the Application shall offer the opportunity to reduce the current
time taken to enter/exit the public transport system and may reduce payment handling costs significantly.
⎯ The IFMS model shall comply with data protection and financial services laws/regulations (e.g. privacy).
⎯ The IFMS model shall provide the capability to accommodate new Product Specifications as required,
regardless of those already in existence.
⎯ The IFMS model shall recognise and prevent internal or external fraud attacks.
⎯ The IFMS model shall identify the customer while protecting their privacy as appropriate.
⎯ The IFMS model shall protect the privacy of the Customer.
⎯ The IFMS model shall assure the integrity of exchanged data.
⎯ The IFMS model shall enable the implementation of additional services: loyalty programmes, car sharing,
park and ride, bike and ride, etc.
⎯ The IFMS model shall provide interface definitions between identified functions within public transport to
enable different operator networks to interoperate.
⎯ The IFMS model shall describe interfaces which are essential to enable data-forwarding functions
between different operator networks, allowing revenue-sharing agreements to be met.
⎯ The IFMS model shall provide a framework from which commercial agreements may be developed.
⎯ The IFMS model shall be neutral with regard to different technologies which may be deployed [e.g.
contact Medium, contactless Medium (short range, wide range), independent of access technologies].
⎯ The IFMS model shall be functionally neutral regarding specific transport Organisation structures.
5 Conceptual framework
The IFMS may be run by a single transport undertaking, a transport authority, an association of public and
private companies, or other groups.
An IFM Manager establishes and manages the IFM Policies on behalf of the IFMS. These policies are
embedded in the Set of Rules.
ISO 24014-1:2007(E)
To manage the elements of the IFMS dealt with in this part of ISO 24014, the IFM Manager shall appoint
⎯ a Security Manager,
⎯ a Registrar.
The functions and the responsibilities of the Security Manager and the Registrar may be distributed to several
Organisations within an IFM. This may be a necessary condition to allow the cooperation of existing IFMSs.
An example is shown in B.3. The example also shows how a new common Set of Rules for the joint IFMS is
built upon the existing sets of the cooperating IFMSs.
5.1 Description of Entities
Entities are identified by capitalized initial letters.
Product Owner The Product Owner is responsible for his Products.
Functions of ownership:
⎯ Specifying pricing, Usage Rules and Commercial Rules.
Functions of clearing:
⎯ Trip reconstruction — Product aggregation based on received usage data using
Product definition rules;
⎯ Linking of aggregated usage data with acquisition data;
⎯ Preparation of apportionment data based on Product Specification.
Functions of reporting:
⎯ Detailed:
⎯ acquisition data with no link to usage data within the reporting period;
⎯ usage data with no link to acquisition data within the reporting period;
⎯ linked aggregated Product data within the reporting period.
⎯ Summary:
⎯ apportionment data and clearing report.
⎯ Total acquisition data.
Product Retailer The Product Retailer sells and terminates Products, collects and refunds value to a
customer as authorised by a Product Owner.
The Product Retailer is the only financial interface between the customer and the IFMS
related to Products.
Application Retailer The Application Retailer sells and terminates Applications, collects and refunds value to
a customer as authorised by an Application Owner.
The Application Retailer is the only financial interface between the customer and the
IFMS related to Applications.

ISO 24014-1:2007(E)
Collection and The role of Collection and Forwarding is the facilitation of data interchanges of the
Forwarding IFMS. The general functions are data collection and forwarding. They contain at least
the following functions.
Functions of collecting:
⎯ Receiving Application Template from Application Owner.
⎯ Receiving Product Template from Product Owner.
⎯ Receiving data from Service Operators.
⎯ Receiving data from Product Retailer.
⎯ Receiving data from Application Retailer.
⎯ Receiving data from other Collection and Forwarding functions.
⎯ Receiving security list data from Security Manager.
⎯ Receiving clearing reports from Product Owner.
⎯ Consistency and completeness check of the data collected on a technical level.
⎯ Receiving the address list of all Entities in the IFM from the Registrar.
Functions of forwarding:
⎯ Forwarding “Not On Us” data to other Collection and Forwarding functions.
⎯ Recording “Not On Us” data.
⎯ Forwarding data with a corrupt destination address to the Security Manager.
⎯ Forwarding “On Us” data to the Product Owner for clearing and reporting.
⎯ Forwarding clearing reports, Application Template, Product Template and security
list data to the Product Retailer and Service Operator.
⎯ Forwarding Application Templates and security list data to the Application Retailer
and Service Operator.
NOTE The “ON US and NOT ON US” concept is as follows.
⎯ A specific Collection and Forwarding function is to collect data from one IFM Entity and
forward it to other IFM Entities.
⎯ Logically there may be several COLLECTION AND FORWARDING functions within the IFM.
⎯ IFM Entities may be linked to different COLLECTION AND FORWARDING functions, but
each Entity can only be linked to one.
⎯ The concept of “ON US and NOT ON US” addresses this connectivity functionality: Data
held by a specific COLLECTION AND FORWARDING function is either “ON US” or “NOT
ON US” data.
⎯ Data collected by a specific COLLECTION AND FORWARDING function addressed to IFM
Entities directly linked to this COLLECTION AND FORWARDING function is termed “ON
US” data.
⎯ Data collected by a specific COLLECTION AND FORWARDING function addressed to IFM
Entities not linked to this COLLECTION AND FORWARDING function is termed “NOT ON
US” data.
ISO 24014-1:2007(E)
Service Operator The Service Operator provides a service to the customer against the use of a Product.
Application Owner The Application Owner holds the Application Contract for the use of the Application with
the customer.
Customer Service Subject to commercial agreements, Customer Service may provide “helpline” and any
similar facilities, including replacement of stolen and damaged Customer Medium and
consequent Product reinstalling.
Customer The Customer holds an Application and acquires Products in order to use the public
transport services.
Security Manager The Security Manager is responsible for establishing and coordinating the Security
Policy and for
⎯ certification of Organisations, Application Templates, Components and Product
Templates;
⎯ auditing of Organisations, Application Templates/Applications, Components and
Product Templates/Products;
⎯ monitoring the system;
⎯ operation of the security of the IFMS, e.g. key management.
Registrar After the certification, the Registrar issues unique registration codes for Organisations,
Components, Application Templates and Product Templates. The Registrar function
also issues unique identifiers or rules for generating unique identifiers for the
Applications, Products and messages.
5.2 Basic framework of the generic IFM model
The links between the operational Entities of the IFMS are illustrated in Figure 1 — Links between operational
Entities within the IFMS. These links represent information flows. Optional links and Entities are drawn in
dotted lines. It is assumed that the Customer already has a Medium or is provided with one by the Application
Retailer; therefore, the model considers only Application and Product issues. Within an IFMS there may be
several Organisations performing the functions of the Entities.

ISO 24014-1:2007(E)
An IFM Manager establishes and manages the IFM Policies on behalf of the IFM. These policies are
embedded in the Set of Rules. The IFM Manager will have relationships with media issuers. The Customer will
have a relationship with the issuer of the Customer Medium they hold. Also, the Application Owner will have
relationships with media issuers.
To manage the elements, the IFM model includes two management Entities:
⎯ the Registrar — the Entity for the identification of any Organisation, Component, Application Template
and Application, Product Template and Product involved in the IFMS;
⎯ the Security Manager — the supporting Entity responsible for the secure operation of the IFMS.
Figure 2 shows the two domains of Entities of the IFM and the connection between them.
The interactions between Entities are described in detail in Clause 6.
