This part of ISO 24014 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.
This part of ISO 24014 is applicable to bodies in public transport and related services which agree that their
systems need to interoperate.
While this part of ISO 24014 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.
This part of ISO 24014 covers the definition of a conceptual framework, which is independent of organisational
and physical implementation. Any reference within this part of ISO 24014 to organisational or physical
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;
the data exchanges between the Medium and the Med (...abbreviated)
