EBSF project
Ixxi participated in the EBSF project launched by the RATP. It is an innovative concept of bus shelter located at the stop Gare de Lyon – Diderot (Paris 12th).
This bus shelter has new passenger-oriented services, including implementation of a dynamic and interactive passenger information system.
The passenger information system is composed of:
- 2 large screens displaying real-time multimodal information,
- 2 other touchscreens, the same size, making available to users, dynamic and interactive information on transport, on the neighborhood and city.
Transports Publics 2012
Ixxi will be present at the European mobility exhibition to be held at the Porte de Versailles from 5 to 7 June 2012 . Meet us on booth H35 RATP Group.
The major European professional exhibition for all key players in public transport and sustainable transport solutions
Transports Publics 2012 will be bringing together urban, interurban and regional transport professionals from across France and Europe: organising authorities, operators, industries, manufacturers, sub-contractors and others.
This not-to-be-missed biennial exhibition gathers key players from rail, bus, coach and alternative transport, as well as from related industries: public works, infrastructure, civil engineering companies, manufacturers of street furniture, parking, payment and ticketing systems, consultants, designers, banking, insurance and energy services, along with other actors including institutions.
Ixxi will present its passenger information applications equipping the station EBSF RATP. These achievements, based on the solution of SmartMob Ixxi, provide on a screen real time information on buses and on a second touch screen, a set of contextual information and services. With the touch screen, local area, services, news of the 12th district of Paris and other modes of transport become accessible with just a flick.

Remote reloading
Ixxi and STM (Montreal Transport Company) signed a contract for testing online sales, in order to offer OPUS cardholders the opportunity to reload from home or work. The “mon e-guichet” (my e-booth), in test phase at RATP will meet the needs of the STM and will be tested for six months by 1000 customers.
The STM wants to offer its customers an alternative way to purchase tickets. Products range from weekly to monthly passes, with standard or reduced fare. Users can either purchase a new card or use their existing one. They can reload or check their or a friend’s plan or balance. Tickets can be purchased by credit card (MasterCard or Visa) only.
Ixxi is responsible for designing, implementing, hosting the solution and integrating it with the current STM ticketing system.
Referencing of our SIRI solution
Winfried Bruns, head of the standardization process of SIRI CEN has referenced IXXI as a SIRI solutions provider.
SIRI means Service Interface for Real Time Information. This is an European standard (CEN TS 15531) to promote exchanges between systems managing real-time information on public transport. Eight European countries have contributed to its drafting, including Germany, France and Great Britain.
SIRI is based on Transmodel and describes a set of modular services covering:
- The exchange of scheduling tables
- Vehicle activity at breakpoints
- Vehicle tracking
- Ensuring Transfers
- Disturbances
The description of these services is based on open and widespread technologies (XML Schema, Web Services) that define both the form of data exchanged and the technical protocol for these exchanges. All SIRI services are intended to be used at the customer request (“request / response” mode) or through subscription / notification mechanisms.
In France, the SIRI standard is highlighted by the STIF, which declined a specific profile SIRI Ile-de-France (a profile specifies the use of the standard for a particular purpose) and now requires the use of SIRI for its new contracts and considers generalizing the standard to promote multimodal transport.

Strong stakes
Network Management, a fast-growing business area, is becoming an important stake for transport operators. The goal of mobility services platforms is to make accessibility and use of transport easier, as well as the access of personalized information. These services are developed thanks to information technologies and communication.
Development of mobility services
During the 60’s and 80’s, public transports were synonym of development of automatic driving systems such as magnetic toll, created to face the growth of population and the explosion of client demand. The systems were based on electronic technologies to propose solutions that managed the flow of anonymous travellers.
In the 90’s new stakes appear for public transport operators with the emergence of congested town centers and environmental concerns. They had to propose an attractive alternative to the use of personal vehicle and respond to the more and more demanding quality of service. Solutions proposed for the in-crowd treatment were obviously inadequate to respond to these new preoccupations. The emerging information technologies enable to think about solutions to help urban mobility. Ticketing, passenger information and security assistance for special needs are the main services developed.
That’s how a new business was created: mobility services to respond to the new demands of customer:
- Permanent accessibility and availability of real time information,
- Continuity of services in view of the numerous mobility ways,
- Personalized information.
The new trends supposed a closest association between transport actors, information transport producers and public services offer, but also a finest knowledge of behaviour and needs in terms of mobility: that is the function of Network Management.
The main mobility services cover a full range of activities.
- Passenger information: dynamic cartography, itinerary research, Real Time Passenger Information,
- Ticketing: ticketing systems, price setting systems, compensation systems, systems to secure the cards,
- Other mobility services: station administration, Auto-Lib and Vélib services, security systems (ie: videosurveillance), assistance to people with special needs,
Intermodal exchange hub information: optimization and coordination of transport offers, conception and exploitation of mobility stations, parking administration, multimodality administration.
