Methods and Approach
1.1
Introduction
Scheidt & Bachmann is pleased to present this proposal to the City of Fort Collins for a
Ticket Vending System, featuring Scheidt & Bachmann’s FareGo Sales ST|70 Ticket
Vending Machines as well as our FareGo Data backend system.
Scheidt & Bachmann’s proposed Ticket Vending System is comprised of various user
friendly and modular components that are reliable, flexible, and expandable and field
proven, including:
•
•
FareGo Data backend system, Software Only, used for:
•
Management of Ticket Vending System
•
Managing the configuration of the devices
•
Monitoring system performance
•
Storing and processing transaction and event records
•
Reporting
21, plus an optional 15, FareGo Sales ST| 70 Ticket Vending Machines
The foundation for the proposed system is our FareGo Sales ST|70 TVM. The TVM
operations are controlled by sophisticated software that is highly configurable, reducing
the need to make software code changes to meet the City of Fort Collins’ operational
requirements.
The proposed Ticket Vending System supports the following functionality:
•
Accepts cash and coins
•
Vends, validates and revalues Magnetic Stripe Tickets
•
Creates a record of each transaction associated with the time and location of the
fare
•
Provides secure storage of fares and records
•
Provides secure processing of revenues collected at various City of Fort Collins
locations and the compilation of transactional records to permit a complete audit
of revenues collected
•
Manages and downloads software versions as well as operational parameters for
fare collection equipment
•
Option - Validates and revalues Smart Media through the integrated Smart Media
Reader
As we understand that our system has little value if it does not work with existing City of
Fort Collins infrastructure, we are committed to providing a seamless integration. Our
Page 1
Fare collection
systems
ticket vending machines will be configured to encode magnetic media in the GFI format
provided by the City of Fort Collins. To allow for the communication of data between
the two systems, an export function is available to provide the necessary data in a flat
file which can be easily imported into existing systems.
Scheidt & Bachmann is the best company to deliver this system due to our extensive
specialized technical capability, robust and reliable Ticket Vending Machines and an
established track record both globally and in the North American Market including
Canada and the United States.
In 2003 Scheidt & Bachmann USA was awarded a project with MBTA Boston to provide
a new Automated Fare Collection System (“The Charlie Card”) to serve the greater
Boston metropolitan area. The contract included the supply and installation of 1600
VARE-point fareboxes, Smart Media readers, 600+ TVMs, and Fare Gates. Scheidt &
Bachmann has made a long term commitment to the United States market by setting up
both administration and manufacturing facilities in Burlington MA creating over 160 jobs
and growing. We are committed to meeting all Buy America requirements for our
complete product line; as we grow so will the employment opportunities for the United
States market.
To prepare this response to the City of Fort Collins request for proposals (RFP) for a
Ticket Vending Machines, Scheidt & Bachmann undertook a thorough review of the City
of Fort Collins’ requirements, current installed equipment and typical operating
conditions. We found that our FareGo Sales ST|70 Ticket Vending Machines meets all
the requirements. For system management,
Scheidt & Bachmann’s FareGo Data
backend system meets the functionality as
described in the RFP. The FareGo Data
family of systems is a well-established and
proven application with many years in
service and multiple implementations
throughout the United States and the world.
Scheidt
&
Bachmann
designs,
manufactures, implements, supports and
where requested, maintains and operates,
fare collection systems consisting of
products such as fareboxes, standalone
validators, ticket vending machines, faregates and Customer Service Terminals, all
of which are capable of supporting multiple
types of fare media currently used by transit
agencies around the world: paper (bar
code), magnetic stripe and smart media. All
these devices are managed through fixed
and wireless network connections to Scheidt
& Bachmann’s FareGo Data system.

systems
The Ticket Vending System is field proven over a wide range of operating conditions
and transaction volumes. This field experience is what drives Scheidt & Bachmann’s
continuous product improvement process leading to product evolution. Scheidt &
Bachmann has years of experience in the design and supply of fare collection field
devices and as a result, Scheidt & Bachmann fare collection components have evolved
throughout the years to incorporate both technological changes and customer trends.
These changes have addressed ease of use and improved functionality and
performance without sacrificing security aspects. Scheidt & Bachmann customers
benefit by receiving the most advanced versions of our products available at the time of
proposal and design.
However, hardware is only one part of today’s advanced fare collection systems.
Software is what runs Scheidt & Bachmann’s Ticket Vending Systems and provides the
functionality that the City of Fort Collins requires. While Scheidt & Bachmann field
devices on their own are self-contained to accept fare payments and keep track of such
transactions, the full data processing capabilities of the system are founded on the
power of the Scheidt & Bachmann’s FareGo Data system. FareGo Data is a powerful
system management application that is at the core of every Scheidt & Bachmann fare
collection system. It supports fareboxes, on-board and platform smart card processors,
ticket office machines, ticket vending machines and fare gates.
FareGo Data is comprised of various software applications, and networking components
that assist in the operation and management of the fare collection equipment. It is
effectively the universal remote control for all devices, providing a large number of
maintenance, statistical, monitoring, scheduling and controlling functions.
FareGo Data provides access to and the ability to configure and present a wealth of
data available from the devices and associated user functions. All transactions,
maintenance activities, system and device events, and device and system alarms
generated are transmitted to and stored at the FareGo Data system. This data can be
retrieved and reported through appropriately configured the City of Fort Collins
workstations, through the Scheidt & Bachmann standard reports provided with FareGo
Data.
Application software for FareGo Data consists of software programs supplied by Scheidt
& Bachmann, configuration files used to customize user interfaces and other operational
characteristics of FareGo Data, prepared reports and queries, special software tools,
other commercially available software packages, and any other special functions
resulting from software provided as part of FareGo Data.
FareGo Data software includes modules for revenue accounting, module tracking,
configuration, event, and alarm management, ticket vending machine, farebox and
smart media reader control, transaction data, status visualization, tariff data and version
control. All application data is subject to version control and configuration management.
It is critical that the Ticket Vending System protect data from unauthorized access and
modification, as the ability to accurately compare the revenue reported by the Ticket
Vending Machines and the manual counts is a critical function allowing a high level of
Page 3
Fare collection
systems
cash revenue security. FareGo Data access is protected for all system elements based
on the used standard operating system as well as through additional methods
implemented by the system software. The same strategy is used to ensure a high
degree of traceability and security for all data stored within the system.
Technology is only one part of the City of Fort Collins’ project. To ensure success,
effective project management, quality controlled product configuration and development
and capable service delivery are essential. The company’s organizational structure is
project team oriented which eliminates hierarchical impediments to good design and
efficient project management. Developers/engineers are organized within the project
business teams and function as a single unit throughout the project which assures that
the goals are aligned in the same direction.
Scheidt & Bachmann will only designate key individuals to this project that are both
highly qualified and experienced with the Ticket Vending Machine industry to fill the
project management, support and maintenance positions. The processes, procedures
and documentation used for project management will be the same or updated versions
to those used in previous Scheidt & Bachmann projects. Manufacturing and installation
quality and compliance to contract requirements will be managed using Scheidt &
Bachmann’s Quality Management System, which has been certified according to ISO
9001:2000 by Lloyd´s Register Quality Assurance.
To ensure quality software development, the processes and procedures described in
Scheidt & Bachmann’s Software Quality Assurance Program (SQAP) will be followed.
The SQAP provides a disciplined approach needed to reduce the risk of software errors
and major reword and corrections.
Scheidt & Bachmann has a well established, proven training program designed to
provide customers with the knowledge and expertise they need to operate, service,
support and maintain their Scheidt & Bachmann equipment and systems. It is delivered
by a highly qualified and experienced training staff who are thoroughly familiar with
Scheidt & Bachmann’s equipment and systems. The training program proposed for this
system procurement will be based on standard courses and training modules already
available to any of our customers.
Scheidt & Bachmann historically excels in minimizing the Total Cost of Ownership
(TCO) over the lifetime of the systems. Part of this TCO benefit is price leadership
based upon its annual production volume. However, even larger gains are due to design
and quality assurance factors. The historically high reliability reduces maintenance
costs. Upgradeability minimizes customer needs for future investments. The software
design eliminates much of the traditional need for customization. The intuitive, easy-touse approach significantly reduces employee training costs.
The proposed Ticket Vending System generates extensive transaction records,
diagnostic and operational records, allowing for the creation of a wide range of reports
that can be used to manage and control the Ticket Vending System.
The use of standards, both internal Scheidt & Bachmann standards and international
standards, coupled with the modular design methodology is an important aspect relating
Page 4
Fare collection
systems
to the cost effective long-term support of the system Scheidt & Bachmann is proposing.
All programming is done in standard languages, and data communications use standard
interfaces and protocols. In the future, such system aspects as central computers can
be upgraded with a minimum of difficulty due to the use of standard operating systems
and interfaces.
We believe that selecting Scheidt & Bachmann to deliver, install, commission and
support the proposed system will result the following benefits for the City of Fort Collins:
•
•
•
•
A reliable, easy to use yet highly secure Ticket Vending System for Fort Collins’
customers
Cost containment and reduction of project risk through field proven yet innovative
design
Highly responsive technical support for the life of the system
Proven engineering capability to enable system evolution over time.
These benefits will be achieved by:
•
•
Scheidt & Bachmann hardware and software that has a low cost of operation,
support and expansion
Use of field proven equipment, with a known track record of reliable performance
We look forward to the opportunity to work with the City of Fort Collins to implement this
new system
1.2
Approach and Interaction
Scheidt & Bachmann operates to the international standard ISO9001 across our organization
and as such our project management methodology used for ETS Delivery and ETS Operational
Services will conform to our own proven standards. Scheidt & Bachmann applies PRINCE2
methodology throughout its Project Management department with all PM’s being certified
PRINCE2 practitioners.
Scheidt & Bachmann will ensure that all aspects of the project are correctly managed including
planning, resources, safety, quality, monitoring, control, measurement, quality management, risk
management, rectification and reporting on all aspects.
The project manager leads the project organization at Scheidt & Bachmann premises in
Burlington, MA and coordinates customer requirements with the engineering and manufacturing
departments.
Through the design phase and the production release, the project managers of the City of Fort
Collins and of Scheidt & Bachmann will meet at least bi-weekly. As necessary, an ad-hoc
meeting can be held on short notice. Meetings will take place on-site at the customer’s
premises or at the local Scheidt & Bachmann premises, as agreed.
Within each project meeting, the deliverables (hardware, software, documents) for the upcoming
month will be defined and maintained within the project plan as necessary. This degree of detail
shall prevent the project timeline slipping away from its milestones. For each deliverable,
acceptance criteria will be defined. Delivery and acceptance of each deliverable will be reported
to the project management team of both parties. Non-acceptance of a deliverable will be
Page 5
Fare collection
systems
reported to the project management team without delay and with indication of the denial
reasons. The project management team will decide the next action with respect this deliverable.
1.2.1
Levels of Organization
A project management team is a temporary structure specifically designed to manage the
project to its successful conclusion. The project management structure has four levels, three of
which represent the project management team and the fourth which sits outside of the project.
At Scheidt & Bachmann we understand the importance of the City of Fort Collins in the
successful completion of this project, and as such, the project manager for the City of Fort
Collins is a member of the Project Board.

1.2.2
Project Stage Setup within S&B
One of the main principles of PRINCE2 is to split a project into defined stages, where the
end of each stage, respectively the entrance into the next stage is subject to an
authorization process under the direction setting of the Project Board. The main stages
are: Starting up, Initiation, Project delivery, and Closeout.
The Starting up stage of the City of Fort Collins’ project is understood to be managed
under the responsibility of S&B’s Bid-Management, closing with the formal set of
handover documents including the Business Case and the Project Brief to outline the
scope of the project.
S&B’s project management takes over responsibility for the project with the approval of
the Project Board to start the Initiation Stage and do a detailed planning of the project.
As part of the Initiation the Project Initiation Documentation (PID) will be created and the
Project Plan will be setup. There will also be a decision how many delivery stages will be
needed to enable the Project Board to take control on the project. At the end of the stage
the Project Board will authorize the updated Project Plan and Business Case to start the
delivery of the products.
The Project delivery can be done in one stage but in most projects will be divided into
sub-stages defined via timely intervals. Delivery stages should not take longer than 5
Page 6
Fare collection
systems
months and it should be shown which major products will be delivered during a stage.
Stage boundaries of this sub-stages are subject to Project Board meetings and direction
settings. The delivery itself will be performed by Team Managers who get Work Packages
detailing the products to be created and agreements on planned time and effort. In case
the agreed tolerances (time, cost, scope) for the stage are in danger the Project Manager
needs to inform the Project Board by an Exception Report in order to decide on corrective
actions immediately.
As part of the Closeout Stage the handover of products to the City of Fort Collins is
finalized, also the handover documentation for the Service is prepared. An End Project
Report including the lessons learned during the project should be prepared.

Vending Machine
2.1.1
Ticket
General Function TVM
The overall design approach of Scheidt &
Bachmann emphasises the use of low-risk,
proven equipment and components that can be
used to create an open-system solution. The
hardware components, operating system,
database,
communication
protocol
and
hardware interfaces are all based on current
industry standards.
This design methodology has allowed Scheidt
& Bachmann to design an innovative fare
collection system.
Scheidt & Bachmann has many years of
experience in the vending and cashier
equipment industry. Scheidt & Bachmann
FareGo Sales ST|70 Ticket Vending Machines
(TVM) have been upgraded over the years to incorporate both technological changes
and customer trends. These changes have addressed user friendliness and greater
ticket vending efficiencies without sacrificing security aspects.
The design of the proposed TVM takes into account that the TVM – according to
specific requirements of a given location – can be installed stand alone or in lines.
The housing is based on a design which integrates desk like elements in the TVM
facade. The TVM will be equipped with a user friendly integration of high visibility TFT
screen, touch screen operation, coin- and bank note slots in the front of the TVM. The
design takes into consideration the overall ergonomics associated with the components
of the user interface. The overall goal of component location is to minimise the amount
of movement a customer will need to make during a ticket transaction.
When installed, the TVM complies with Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility
Guidelines (ADAAG) adopted by DOT regulation (49 CFR Part 37 as amended Oct 30,
2006). Additional related features of our TVM include:
•
•
•
•
•
Voice prompts with both audio speaker and headphone jack
Braille/raised letter signage
Single handed operation with operating forces less than 5 lbs
Reach ranges for wheel chair access
Accessible coin entry slots; the highest unit slot is 48 in
Page 8
Fare collection
systems
•
•
Accessible coin return tray; lowest unit height is 22 in
Customer display tilted to 30° for enhanced viewing
Scheidt & Bachmann TVMs are designed:
•
•
•
•
•
to be suitable for operation in an outdoor environment
to be vandal resistant and secure
ergonomically and suitable for use by disabled people
to operate as standalone machines
to be integrated in an online driven management system
The Scheidt & Bachmann design methodology incorporates the use of standard
components in a modular fashion. This methodology allows Scheidt & Bachmann to
easily incorporate changes in technology as they occur.
The use of standards, both internal Scheidt & Bachmann standards and international
standards, coupled with the modular design methodology is an important aspect relating
to the long-term support of the system Scheidt & Bachmann is proposing to its
customers.
All programming is done in standard languages, and data communications use standard
interfaces and protocols. In the future, such system aspects as central computers can
be upgraded with a minimum of difficulty due to the use of standard operating systems
and interfaces.
The TVM includes the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
TVM Housing with Lighting Top
TVM Base
15" Color TFT Touch Screen User Interface (Landscape Mode)
TVM Coin System
TVM Banknote System
Credit / Debit Card Reader
Ticket System for Credit Card Size Paper tickets with Magnetic (4 rolls)
Smart Card Dispenser with 2 stackers with 380 cards each (Optional)
Smart Card Reader Hardware (Optional)
TVM Computer System
Power Supply, Battery Backup
Heating and cooling system
System Software
Customer Application Software
All components are field proven as they are in service in many Scheidt & Bachmann
ticket vending machines in large international projects. The computer system is based
on an industry standard PC running Windows XP Standard.
Page 9
Fare collection
systems
Basic features of the system are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Standard interfaces, such as RS485, RS232 and TCP/IP.
Modular software design – the same software ‘kernel’ used in all equipment. Only
different device drivers are used for different peripheral modules.
Nearly all software can be loaded and updated without hardware changes
(EPROM, etc.) via a network or using offline data transfer with PCMCIA memory
cards or USB sticks.
Design of data structure used by Scheidt & Bachmann includes tracking of
complete transaction records. That enables the most flexible use of data for all
types of reporting and data processing by the Scheidt & Bachmann Central
Support System.
Full data backup is maintained off-line in dual memory locations in fare collection
equipment. The permanent back-up media is the PCMCIA card. Data storage is
independent of fare collection equipment computer or CSS computer and
contains all transaction records even if the computer fails. The PCMCIA card can
be easily removed and the complete data records transferred to a central location
for backup data recovery.
A backup battery provides for the completion of a transaction that is in process in
case of main power loss.
The TVM will provide the following customer service capabilities
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Accept cash and credit /debit cards
Read and add trips, passes and stored values
Respond to customer choice of action
Issue Smart Card (Optional)
Register the number of media of each type and price range issued and total
value of fare media sold

Provide audio output of messages and instructions
Include a security and alarm system
Indicate malfunctions of the unit
Include complete on-line TVM network capability with remote TVM status
monitoring, automatic polling for sales information, a complete audit and
accounting system, ability to remotely command TVMs to reset and selfdiagnose, ability to remotely modify operating parameters, and process all credit /

2.1.2
Design Requirements TVM
2.1.2.1 Circuit Breaker
The TVM has a single power switch. Any change in its position sends a message event
to the FareGo Data system and initiates an orderly shutdown when switched to ‘OFF’.
2.1.2.2 Light Fixture
The lighting top contains a bulb to illuminate the front door and a service indicator. The
service indicator will flash to inform service personnel that the TVM requires
maintenance.
The lighting top will be made of 2 mm stainless steel and is equipped with a removable,
lockable cover for service purposes.
The lighting top will also contain the air conditioning unit to ensure the TVM remains
operational in high temperature environments.
2.1.2.3 Display Screen
Though the use of LCD screens in self-service machines is an accepted industry
practice, limitations of readability under direct sunlight are given for all screens on the
market. The special design of the TVM front minimises these restrictions, as it is very
easy for the patron to provide shadow for the screen with his body.

Technical Details of the Touch Screen
The sensor is integrated within two laminated layers of lim-natron-glass. This glass is 7
mm thick (3 mm front and 4 mm back) making the sensor very robust and safe.
The advantages of this touch technology are:
•
•
•
•
This technology is not affected by moisture, rain, dirt, grease, harsh cleaning
fluids, solvents, snow and rain, thereby eliminating the need for additional
sealing.
This touch system is very easy to use, even with gloves. It is not necessary to put
any pressure on the touch panel. It is sufficient to place the finger on the surface
to activate the functionality. Depending on the size of the touch buttons – which
is an adjustable parameter completely under software control – it is also possible
to activate the touch screen with the heel of the palm or any other part of the
hand.
The costs for maintenance are very low because there is no drift and so there is
no recalibration required.
With a light transmission of up to 88% the resolution is < 1 mm and the position
accuracy is less than 1% from the reported position.
Further technical details of the touch screen:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Speed of response: 13msec through 4mm thick glass
Immunity to damage: glass protection provides unsurpassed impact-, vandaland scratch-resistance
Operating temperature: -31° F to +149° F
Detection method: Dynamic capacitance using horizontal and vertical 10 micron
diameter wires
Power requirements: Typically 5mA at 6 to 12 volts which is provided by RS232
port, USB or external source
Humidity: 0 to 90% RH @ 104°F , unaffected by condensation
MTBF (Sensor): Excellent, no
known wear-out mechanism
MTBF (Controller): In excess of 1
million hours – Bellcore TR332
2.1.2.4 Security
All money containers and ticket stock are
locked into the TVM. Matching security
keys are needed to release money
containers and the slide for the ticket
issuing unit. To open the money container
Page 12

itself, keys are needed, which are different from the ones needed to release these
containers. Please find below a table describing which key has to be used and the
recommended users for the different key types.
The keys and locks are manufactured by DOM, and have the key-code YXKE –“X “,
were “X” is the place holder for the various key types (sub-keying), please see table

The listed construction material allows the TVM housing to be installed (with a 15 year
life) in a coastal atmosphere (not directly exposed to sea or sea spray), when all exterior
surfaces are primed and painted properly.
The TVM housing provides easy access to all of the operational components of the
Ticket Vending Machine such as:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
TVM PC
Coin System
Banknote System
Ticket processing Unit
Smart Card Dispenser
Smart Card Antenna
Alarm Unit
Power converter and distribution (including a 230 VAC Maintenance Power
Socket)
Heater/Blower Unit
TFT Touch Screen
The TVM is constructed of stainless steel sheet metal. The overall construction is done
in a way to minimise any visible seams to prevent the insertion of pry bars.
Access to the TVMs will be by high security keys. PIN-entry after door opening is
required for identification of the authorized person.
Provisions are made to avoid unauthorized access to the TVM. The TVM’s door is a
one-piece construction that is mounted on the front of the machine to permit revenue
and maintenance servicing. All hinges are secure and isolated from view.
2.1.2.6 Lock and Key
First of all the TVM is in general secured against unauthorized access from outside by a
front door lock (security lock with secured keying).
The lock on the front door is covered with a metal flap (stainless steel) that has to be
released by a special tool to get access to the lock.
2.1.2.7 Local Alarm
Alarm Unit
The alarm system of the Scheidt & Bachmann TVM performs two functions in case of
unauthorized access (intrusion or wrong/missing pin entry) or tilting the TVM:
•
•
It sounds a siren
It sends an alarm message to the FareGo Data system (when TVM is powered
and online)
•
Page 14
Fare collection
systems
Intrusion Alarm
An intrusion is activated in the event that the TVM door is opened without being
unlocked. The TVM detects such an occurrence via the door contact, the bolt bar
control contact and the locking contacts. Upon opening, the door lock contact and the
bolt bar control contact have to be activated prior to the activation of the two closed
contacts situated on the upper and lower part of the door. Otherwise, if the closed
contacts (or only one of them) are triggered without activation of the door lock and the
bolt bar control contact, e.g. in case of an opening attempt using a pry bar, an intrusion
alarm will be set off.
The following actions will be triggered in case of an intrusion alarm:
•
•
Siren 110 dB (A), local alarm for a configurable time (adjustable at the TVM and
normally set to 60 seconds)
Alarm message sent to CSS (when TVM is powered and online)
In case of a failure of the main power supply (230 V) the TVM alarm system including
siren will remain battery-buffered for at least 24 hours, if the battery buffer was fully
charged prior to the power failure (48 hours charging without buffering activities). Since
the TVM-computer (SBC-1) is shut down in case of power failure, no online message
will be sent to the FareGo Data system.
Once the alarm condition is triggered, it is only reset when a valid PIN is entered, or the
alarm unit loses power.
2.1.2.8 Ventilation
The TVM is ventilated to provide a constant temperature distribution within the TVM
during normal operation. This ventilation is controlled through a tri-point temperature
control unit.
The TVM will be equipped with an air condition system in order to operate within the
specified operating conditions.
2.1.3
Control System TVM
The TVM microprocessor assembly is based on an IBM PC compatible architecture.
The assembly controls all TVM functionality including the collection, storage and
transmission of data. A PCMCIA interface is used for the removable media support.
There are two PCMCIA data slots available and they are configured as follows:
•
•
“Permanent” PCMCIA data module that mirrors the transactions recorded to the
local TVM hard-drive.
“Non-Permanent” PCMCIA data module that is used for offline data transfer.
The TVM uses the “permanent” data module for backup storage of transactions that can
then later be used for offline data transfer. The term “permanent” refers to the fact that
this module is always mounted in the TVM and is not normally removed for transfers. An
Page 15
Fare collection
systems
offline transfer would use the “non-permanent” slot to transfer the data transactions to
the other PCMCIA module.
The “non-permanent” slot is used for the following:
•
•
•
Initializing a new hard-drive with the fare tables and associated operational files
Offline fare table or other software updates
Offline data transaction transfers
The term “non-permanent” refers to the fact that this module is not always mounted in
the TVM but is normally used for actual data transfers.
2.1.3.1 Cancel Functionality
TVMs permit cancellation of an ongoing transaction (initiated manually by the customer
or automatically by the device) under the following conditions:
•
•
Cash payment is not completed
Cashless payment medium is not inserted or tagged (credit or debit card –
magnetic stripe or contactless -- stored value card, partner-issued card)
To manually cancel a transaction, the customer presses the clearly marked “cancel”
button on the front panel of the TVM.
Upon manual cancellation, the TVM reacts as follows:
•
•
•
•
A “Transaction Cancelled” message is displayed on the display screen
Coins and bills in escrow return to the customer.
TVMs provide for true escrow functionality and return the very same coins and
bills as inserted with this transaction
The TVM is ready for processing the next transactions within 5 seconds of the
cancellation (under normal operating conditions, when no more than 10 coins
and 5 bills have been inserted, and including the inter-transaction time-out)
2.1.3.2 Time Out Functionality
A time out function will be provided to limit the time between successive steps after
initiating a selection.
2.1.3.3 Audit Functionality
To provide performance statistics for maintenance and revenue staff, the TVM will
maintain internal counts of essential TVM data to allow for full recovery from loss of
transactional and fault data. The status of the following conditions will be possible to
determine at all times:
•
•
Amount of money, by denominations, in each of the currency units including
vaults, hoppers and recirculation
Number of transactions since last data download, by ticket/fare type and total
Page 16
Fare collection
systems
•
•
•
•
Number of TVM failures since last data downloads
TVM events since last data download
Total money received, change issued, and overpayment accepted since last data
download
Amount of money inserted through coin slot to fill recirculation units
2.1.3.4 Data Storage and Transfer
The TVM will collect and store data in the TVM’s hard drive. The TVM will transmit the
data to the FareGo Data system. All event and transaction data will be transferred to the
FareGo Data system via network connection
2.1.3.5 Alarm and Event Transmission
Scheidt & Bachmann devices provide for a wide range of events that can be classified
as alarms at the discretion of the system operator. This is fully configurable through the
workstations for authorized users. Alarms are further divided into different alarm groups
to allow for quick allocation of the type of alarm and filtering. The following table
provides an excerpt of events that are most commonly classified as alarms and their
associated alarm group.

Auxiliary Power TVM
TVMs have a battery buffer power system that provides power to the TVM in the event
of an interruption of the main power source. The battery buffer has the capacity to:
•
•
•
•
Complete a smart media purchase transaction (only if payment for the smart
media has been completed)
Permit an orderly shutdown of TVM systems to occur
Provide power to the internal TVM alarm unit for at least a one hour period while
the main power source is not available
Permit transmission of all associated event data to the DMRS prior to the orderly

systems
note types (or variants of bank notes) depending on the selected model. Bank notes
inserted store in escrow until the transaction is either finished or canceled. Upon
cancellation, the customer’s actual bank notes are returned from the escrow. If a
transaction is finished satisfactorily, the bank notes move into the bank note vault
The major components of the bank note system are the validator (made-up of the
acceptor/verifier, escrow unit, and stacker) and bank note vault, as shown in the figure
below. Its unique serial number identifies each bank note vault. Encoded serial numbers
will identify the money container as a bank note vault. The device automatically reads
and identifies the bank note vault serial number. In addition, each bank note vault is
marked with a unique serial number, in a manually readable form, on the outside of the
container. The numbers will be of a sufficient size, of adequate contrast, and in the
correct orientation to be readable when the bank note vault is in place for operation
within the FVM.
The bank note handling system includes a bank note acceptor/verifier, bank note
escrow, bank note stacker, and bank note vault. The system accept s$1, $5, $10, $20,
$50 and $100 bank notes including any old and new versions in circulation at the time of
the TVM installation.
2.1.5.2 Bill Validator
The bank note acceptor/verifier, bank note escrow unit and stacker together are called
the bank note validator. The bank note vault slides into place on the bottom of the bank
note validator.
The major function of the Bank Note Validator is to accept and verify the authenticity of
all bank notes that are inserted into the TVM, recognize their value, forward the
appropriate credit signal to the main computer, and store the bank notes. The Bank
Note Validator is capable of accepting a variety of U.S. dollar denominations ($1, $5,
$10 $20, $50 and $100), and uses two bank note slots, the Insertion Slot and the Bank
note Rejection Slot. It can also provide 4-way bank note acceptance, which is client
programmable. A bank note can be inserted either end first, face up or face down.
The Bank note Insertion Slot is equipped with a light-emitting diode (LED). When the
Acceptor is ready to accept a bank note, the LED is green. While the Verifier is
processing a bank note, the LED is red and indicates it is not available to process a
bank note until current processing is completed. When the Bank Note Validator is not
operational, the LED is not illuminated, which means that no bank notes can be
processed. Once a bank note has been verified, the bank note is moved to the Bank
note Escrow Unit, and any invalid bank notes are returned via the Bank note Rejection
Slot on the bottom-front of the unit.
2.1.5.3 Bill Escrow
The bank note escrow unit is located inside at the rear of the bank note validator. The
function of the escrow unit is to store accepted and verified bank notes until the
transaction is completed, and the ticket has been issued to the customer.
Page 19
Fare collection
systems
While a transaction is being processed, the escrow unit drum stores each valid bank
note on top of the previously inserted bank note. The escrow unit can hold up to 15
bank notes, which is the maximum number of bank notes accepted per transaction.
When the transaction is completed, the bank notes are moved from the escrow unit to
the bank note vault by the transport belts and the stacker (a stacking piston).
If a transaction is cancelled or an error occurs prior to the transaction being completed,
the bank notes that were inserted for the transaction are moved from the escrow unit
drum and output through the bank note rejection slot where the customer may retrieve
them.
2.1.5.4 Bill Vault
The bank note vault is located under the bank note validator. The function of the bank
note vault is to collect and store accepted and verified bank notes once a transaction is
successfully completed. Bank note vault design permits only a single placement of the
bank note vault into the TVM after emptying. A shutter locks in a position to close off the
opening when the bank note vault is removed. Bank notes vault capacity is 2,000 bank
notes nominally.
The bank note vault is typically removed by field revenue personnel then opened,
counted and reconciled by accounting revenue personnel. It is secured in place with a
retaining lock. The red/green flag on the bank note vault is red whenever the vault is in
the TVM and when it is initially removed from the TVM. The flag turns green when the
vault is opened using Key C and remains green until the vault is closed, installed, and
then locked in the TVM.
The vaults are equipped with two different locks: one to remove the vault from the TVM,
the other to open the vault. Therefore, the bank note vaults in the field are fully locked
and not accessible to the revenue personnel.
Each bank note vault is identified with a unique serial number. This ID is coded in an
EEPROM and is transferred to the TVM by a contact on the vault. Each bank note unit
in the TVM has a contact at the appropriate position to read the serial numbers of the
inserted bank note vault. On removal of the bank note vault, the TVM recognizes which
vault has been removed. Similarly, it recognizes the insertion. The insertion of the very
same vault (same serial number) is not allowed. The TVM will go into out-of-service
mode if the same vault is re-inserted.
The FareGo Data system is able to monitor in which TVM an individual vault is located.
A removal/insertion of the vault will create a message to the FareGo Data system,
indicating which vault was taken out/inserted by which revenue or service person. Shift
data (e.g., sales data) is recorded together with the serial number of the related bank
note vault. This allows clear reconciliation of counted and recorded revenues according
to the vault serial numbers.

2.1.6
Coin Handling TVM
2.1.6.1 General Requirements
The purpose of the coin system is to accept, verify, store, and provide change for all
coin and bank note transactions. The TVM coin system accepts the following US
currency:
•
One Dollar Susan B, Anthony and Golden Dollar
•
Half Dollar (50 cent)
•
Quarters (25 cents)
•
Dimes (10 cents)
•
Nickels (5 cents)
•
Token
The basic functions of the TVM coin system are as follows:
•
After selecting a ticket the coin slot opens and coins can be inserted.
•
Coins inserted are validated by the electronic coin validator. Foreign coins and
detected fake coins are rejected and given back to the patron.
•
Coins accepted are fed
into the corresponding
recirculating
coin
cassettes by means of
an
electronic
coin
diverter. In standard
operation mode there is
an
individual
recirculating
coin
cassette for each coin
type accepted by the
coin system.
•
•
The
recirculating
cassettes are used as
an escrow as well as
for change giving.
Up to 3 Auxiliary
Coin Cassettes
Coin Slot
Coin Acceptor
Up to 6 Recirculating
Coin Cassettes
When
a
payment
transaction is cancelled
by the patron the coins
inserted are given back
out of the recirculating
cassettes.
Coin Vault
Page 21
Fare collection
systems
•
If a recirculating cassette is filled completely, the coins accepted during 'old
transactions' are distributed to the coin vault via an overflow exit.
•
Change is given out of the recirculating cassettes and – if there is not enough
money in the recirculating cassettes – out of the auxiliary coin cassettes (non recirculating coin hoppers).
•
If there is not enough change available, the TVM will switch to 'Exact Fare‘ mode.
•
If the coin vault is full the TVM does not accept payment by coins and displays
this status by an associated appropriate indication to the patron. The TVM also
notifies this status to the CSS by an event.
•
All change from the TVM is dispensed by the coin system.
2.1.6.2 Coin Slot
The coin system has a mechanical shutter that seals the coin slot between transactions.
This coin slot will automatically open for cash based transactions but not for electronic
payment transactions.
The coin slot is manufactured to match precisely the coin acceptor, but is still made as a
separate unit. This foregoes unnecessary coin diversions and jams.
2.1.6.3 Coin Validator
Inserted coins pass through the coin slot by gravity to
the coin acceptor. The coin acceptor NRI-model G13.MFT09V30/5 is used.
The coin verification is based on diameter, thickness
and metallic content. The settings from which
comparisons are made are established by the NRI
programming station and are based on US coins in
general circulation. This information is stored internally.
The coin acceptor provides 2 blocks of 12 validation channels each. At any time, only
one of the blocks can be active. Switching from one block to the other one is done by
means of the TVM software. In Scheidt & Bachmann TVMs, as standard, one block is
programmed for validating national coins, the second is programmed for validating
€URO-coins.
The 12 validating channels of a block are assigned to the 6 recirculating coin cassettes
of the Scheidt & Bachmann coin system.
The individual channels may be activated / deactivated by means of dip switches.
The ‘national’ block of the coin acceptor is programmed to accept $0.05, $0.10, $0.25,
$0.50, $1.00 coins
Page 22
Fare collection
systems
Under normal operating conditions in the normal validating channel 100% of the valid
coins in public use are accepted after the 1st insertion. In the narrow validating channel
99% of the coins are accepted after the 1st insertion.
The coin diverter MV20 is located just below the coin verifier. The transport and the
direction of the coins are controlled by a microprocessor. The microprocessor analyses
directly the signal from the coin verifier and guides the coin to the appropriate coin
magazine. When the coin has reached the correct position the coin diverter processor
sends a signal to the coin controller board. Then the coin controller board sends a
signal to the solenoid and opens the coin flap, so that the coin is dropped into the coin
cassette.
2.1.6.4 Coin Recirculation
The recirculating coin cassette is electronically encoded and has a serial number that is
visible from the outside. A cassette for each type of coin accepted will be provided.
The recirculating coin cassettes support the following:
Removal of a coin cassette will create an
event and an event message can be sent
to the CSS. This event message will
include the contents of the cassette and
the unit number.
The capacities are as follows:
Coin Type
Capacity
$1
106
50cent

serial number that is clearly visible from the outside. The coin vault is located near the
front of the TVM to facilitate easy exchange by revenue service personnel. The coin
vault has no openings when removed from the TVM and conforms to the following
specifications:
•
The volume is approx. 7 dm³.
•
Removal and reinsertion of the same vault is not possible
•
The vault can only be installed in one direction.
•
The vault is constructed to withstand being dropped when either fully loaded or
empty without sustaining distortion, operational impediments or security

2.1.6.6 Auxiliary Change Storage Units
The auxiliary coin magazine is electronically encoded and has a serial number that is
visible from the outside. The auxiliary coin magazines support the following:
•
The coin magazine can be loaded manually.
•
Removal of a coin magazine will create an event and an event message can be
sent to the CSS. This event message will include the contents of the cassette
and the unit number.
The capacities are as follows:

Each magazine and corresponding slot is clearly labeled as to which coin type is
supported. This also facilitates quick and easy exchanges. The slots can be
configured by the customer as to which type of magazine will be placed in the
slot.
•
Magazines can only be installed in one direction.
•
The magazine is constructed to withstand being dropped when either fully loaded
or empty without sustaining distortion, operational impediments or security
breaches.
Please note that there is room for up to three (3) coin magazines. In this proposal three
(3) coin magazines per TVM are included. The type of magazine can be selected
according to the above table.
2.1.7
Credit / Debit (TVM)
2.1.7.1 Card Reader
The TVM accepts and processes credit / debit cards issued by financial institutions such
as American Express, Discover, MasterCard and Visa. The cashless method of paying
for tickets is with credit and/or debit cards, inserted into the magnetic stripe Card
Reader or tagged contactlessly to the smart media processor (optional) at the TVM.
The magnetic stripe credit / debit card reader is installed in the TVM door to the right of
the touch screen, directly above the PIN pad. The card reader’s function is to scan
magnetic information from the card when it is inserted and removed, and transmit the
information to the ECU where it is processed and forwarded to the centralized DMRS.
The TVM is equipped with a magnetic stripe card reader and PIN-pad as described in
this section.
Customer Key Pin Pad
The keypad performs two functions:
 Entering of Debit Card PINs including cancellation via the “Cancel” button for debit
card payments
 Application Control for visually impaired patrons; buttons to be pressed for certain
selections/commands are announced by the FVM’s audio system
Key features of the keypad are:
 10 numeric keys in ATM-style configuration
 ENTER and CLEAR key
 Choice of two cryptographic key management schemes: Master/Session
 DUKPT (Derived Unique Key Per Transaction)
 ASCII character command protocol
 RS 232 Communication
For operation by visually impaired patrons, the center key (“5”) of the numeric pad is
equipped with a raised dot
SEPTA 151
The keypad on the TVM allows entry of a personal identification number (PIN) code
when a debit card is used for payment. Hardware encryption is provided for debit card
transactions.
Page 25
Fare collection
systems
Software
The credit / debit handling at the TVM is controlled by Scheidt & Bachmann-developed
software modules that communicate on-line with the FareGo Data system in order to
perform the cashless transaction.
Upon use of a credit / debit card (magnetic stripe via the reader described here, or
contactless via the SMP), the TVM will check locally if the card data read actually can
be read as a payment medium. If this check cannot be verified, an appropriate message
will be displayed, typically “insert/tag card once more.” Successfully read as payment
card information, the card data is processed by the FareGo Data system, where a
central check against a negative list and a velocity check are performed. With these
tests passed, the FareGo Data system requests an online authorization to the
clearinghouse for which the system is configured. The FareGo Data system will receive
an “OK” not “Not-OK” from the Clearing House, which is provided back to the TVM
which originated the transaction.
With this information received back, the TVM will finalize its transaction. Denied
authorization requests are recorded in the TVM’s transaction records including a denial
reason according to the details provided with the “Not OK” message.
This cashless payment processing principle is implemented in each Scheidt &
Bachmann USA fare collection project which includes cashless payment.
Magnetic Bank Card Reader
The credit / debit card reader will be the model MagTek IntelliStripe 65, manually
operated (dip-insertion) hybrid card reader, designed for unattended terminal
applications. The following features are found in the MagTek IntelliStripe 65:
•

receipts and local service reports. This third party component uses standard thermal
Page 27
Fare collection
systems
receipt stock (80mm) which is easily loadable. Receipts will be issued to the
ticket/change tray.
Printed characters are produced with a minimum height of 0.12 inches. The
approximate height to width ratio of the characters will be 5:3.
2.1.8
Fare Media Issuance TVM
The issuing system for credit card sized tickets and/or contactless ISO smart cards
comprises modules entirely developed by Scheidt & Bachmann for various vending
applications. The modules are used in Scheidt & Bachmann ticket vending machines,
fare gates, ticket office machines as well as in all types of equipment for parking
systems.
Configuration
The TVM housing incorporates two complete issuing systems. Each of the systems is
mounted separately on a mounting frame, slide track mounted to the TVM cabinet.
Slide 1 will be configured as follows:
•
2 magnetic encoder
•
2 thermal direct printer
•
1 feed cut unit
•
1 controller and DC power transformer
•
TVM ticket stock: 4 ticket rolls
Slide 2 will not be used, but can be equipped with additional rolls of ticket stock, card
dispenser, or a combination of both.
Ticket Issuing Modules
The ticket system offered here is configured for processing commercially available ISO
credit card size tickets with full printing on the front face. It includes the following
components:
•
Magnetic Ticket Encoder/Decoder MTD/E-12. The magnetic ticket en-coder /
decoder is able to read, write and verify magnetic tickets.
•
Ticket Printer MTP-12. The printing technology used is thermal direct printing. It
can provide full graphics printing features and an extremely short print time.
•
Ticket Feeder MTF-12. The ticket feeder provides a cutter mechanism and is
designed to handle up to 2 different stocks with a unique transport mechanism.
All modules and parts of the ticket handling system are easily accessible and ticket jams
can be cleared without the use of tools with fingertip maintenance. With this
configuration the TVM can dispense 4 different rolls of media, whether it be paper
tickets, poly, or triplex.
Magnetic Ticket Encoder / Decoder
Page 28
Fare collection
systems
The encoder / decoder unit provides
•
Feeding mechanism for ejection of tickets.
•
Adjustable magnetic head for encoding the tickets.
•
Read after write verification
•
Processor controlled stepper motors, which allow for variable transport speed of
the ticket.
•
Scheidt & Bachmann will configure our TVMs to encode magnetic media utilizing
the GFI format provided by the City of Fort Collins.
Ticket Printer
The proposed ticket printer MTP-12 for credit card size tickets uses thermal direct
printing technology. Thermal direct printing offers the following advantages over other
technical solutions such as dot matrix, thermal direct transfer or inkjet printers:
•
Lowest maintenance costs in labor and material because not having to change
any cartridges or ribbons on the printer outweighs the slightly increased costs of
ticket material.
•
Constant print quality over the lifetime of the print head.
•
High lifetime.
•
Printing can be done with a speed of 80 mm/sec and ensures shortest possible
transaction time.
The area that can be printed on is from 1 mm from the left-hand side of the ticket to 1
mm from the right-hand side over the full length, thus covering the full surface of the
ticket (“length” is defined as: parallel to transport direction = parallel to magnetic stripe).
Ticket Feeder
The ticket feeder MTF-12 for credit card size tickets can handle up to 2 different ticket
stocks. For each stock a separate drive with its own stepper motor is provided. The
tickets can be held on rolls or as fan fold stock. Included in this proposal is the use of
rolls. The maximum outer diameter for the rolls is 260 mm.
A cutter device is integrated in the feeder unit.
The tickets are fed into the magnetic ticket system from below. After being cut from the
stock, the tickets reach the ticket path where they are printed and encoded.

Smart Card Issuing Modules (Optional)
Introduction to the Hardware Module
The major function of the dispenser unit is to
hold the ticket stock, and to issue Smart
Cards on demand. The dispensers are
located at the top end of the printer unit on
the printer mounting frame. The Smart Card

2.2
Management Control System
2.2.1
Introduction
To fulfil the need for a Management Control System, Scheidt & Bachmann will be
providing its FareGo Data system. The FareGo Data back office offered by Scheidt &
Bachmann is the central entity for recording data and administering the fare collection
system. The Java-based application software sets new standards in terms of user
ergonomics and intuitive operation. When developing the back office, great emphasis
was placed on the flexible extendibility of the software, so that future developments in
ticket sales and cashless payment applications can easily be integrated into the system.
The back office consists of different software modules. These can be combined with
each other and cover the following areas of the system:
•
Configuration of field devices
Page 34
Fare collection
systems
•
Creation and administration of tariff data
•
Recording operating and settlement data
•
Real-time monitoring of field devices
•
Securing access to devices and data
•
e-Ticketing management
•
Cashless payment methods
FareGo Data supports an integrated, holistic system and provides the interfaces
required between third party systems and the Scheidt & Bachmann system
components. The device management module supports the wide range of field devices
offered by Scheidt &Bachmann, these including:
•
Stationary ticket vending machines
•
Mobile ticket vending machines
•
Validators
•
Fare gates
•
Point of Sale devices
•
Hand-held ticket inspection units
2.2.2
System architecture
The architecture of the fare collection system offered by Scheidt & Bachmann is
composed of four logical levels:
•
Field level
•
Station level
•
Central level
•
Administrative level
A standard LAN / WAN network infrastructure enables communication between the
system levels and the devices installed at the different levels.
Field devices are installed at field level. These devices include gates, ticket vending
machines, validators, point of sale devices and the corresponding local communication
equipment, such as routers and switches.
Data concentrator units and local PC workstations are deployed at station level to
control the communication processes between the field devices and the central level.
These workstations likewise enable staff at station level to access the administrative
functions implemented at the central level.
Page 35
Fare collection
systems
FareGo Data as the central level Software ensures secure and proper function of the
field devices. Wide-ranging system monitoring and control programs are available to
operators for field device administration. In addition, there are generally also local
communication structures, such as network components and routers, and network
management systems, such as Domain Controller.
The administrative level is defined as the totality of all systems and services required to
support the operation of the fare collection system. Examples of such are links to
external tariff databases and credit card authorization for cashless payments.
2.2.3
System overview
The figure below provides a global system overview including FareGo Data.
Page 36
Fare collection
systems
2.2.4
Software architecture
The system architecture was designed to the so-called 3-tier model with thin-client
workstations. This architecture enables reliable data access to the system files, this
forming the basis for the high integrity and availability of the system. The following 3
tiers are differentiated in this architecture:
• Presentation tier, graphic user interface (GUI) between the user and the system
• Execution tier, interface for visual preparation of the data.
• Data retention tier, interface between the application logic and access to the
databases.
All server-side software modules of the execution tier run independently of each other in
the background as Windows services and can be administered separately. The Scheidt
& Bachmann Process System Interface (PSI) encapsulates the modules from each
other and ensures trouble-free communication between the servers and to the field
devices.
The GUIs at workplaces are based on Java and Web standards and have been
developed with special attention to ergonomic design. The software is supplied with
electronic documentation in PDF format.
FareGo Data supports remote maintenance concepts via the commonly used Microsoft
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) or other remote servicing software. Secure access can
be provided via VPN connections.
2.2.4.1 Supported system environments
The FareGo Data back office system is based on standard software components, such
as Microsoft's Windows operating systems, Oracle databases and Java-based
application software. It can therefore be easily integrated into an existing IT architecture.
The following system environments are supported:
Component

2.2.5
Hardware architecture and server models
The Scheidt & Bachmann FareGo Data back office system is generally composed of an
application server with an integrated file server and a database server. All servers are
based on standard server architectures.
Depending on the requirements, the system can be extended to take in further
hardware, such as a web server, a reporting server or other servers. In this context, one
physical server can easily take on several logical functions. The actual design of the
computing platforms depends not least on the size of the network, the operator's
requirements vis-à-vis performance and the strategies selected for backing-up and
archiving data. It is defined jointly with the customer during the detailed specification
process. The figure below demonstrates the scalability of the system in dependence on
the size of the network.
The offer contains the software for the Scheidt & Bachmann back office system. We
assume that the network infrastructure and the central hardware required, such as
servers, back-up system, workstations, routers, switches etc., will be provided by the
client. This likewise applies to the operating system software.
Page 38
Fare collection
systems
In terms of the database, an embedded Oracle license is included for the servers
offered.
2.2.5.1 Application server
The application server in the Scheidt & Bachmann back office system is the actual
'active' communication partner. Data is polled from the subordinate system levels (field
level) and controlled by the application server via the programs running there. The sales
devices are not granted direct access to the database. Data from end devices are solely
processed upon request of the application server via upload processes running there
and are subsequently entered in the database. This 'only top down' access represents a
mechanism which ensures that only data from known end devices able to be verified by
the system are entered into the database. Manageable access rights to the back office
represent further protective measures. Data are supplied to the end devices by
analogue download mechanisms; these are likewise controlled centrally by the
application server.
2.2.5.2 File server
The file server serves to store the current application server software modules, the
transaction data from field devices and all files for processing imports and exports of
data.
2.2.5.3 Database server
The database server is designed as a transparent, consistent data depository. All data
relevant for the Scheidt & Bachmann back office are stored in the Oracle database on
this server.
Although the data from the field devices are first deposited on the file server, they are
generally imported into the database directly afterwards, i.e. immediately after they have
been uploaded. In case of data loss, the files are then still held on the field devices and
on the file server as back-ups.
As part of this proposal we have included the embedded license for Oracle. In order to
extract information from the database Scheidt & Bachmann will provide an export ability
that will provide the data in a flat file. The flat file will be provided in a manner that will
be easily imported into other databases. There are alternatives that we would be willing
to discuss which may also suit the needs of the City of Fort Collins.
2.2.5.4 Backup server
FareGo Data can be integrated seamlessly into an existing data back-up concept. Backups of all data (e.g. operating systems, software, databases and transaction files) are
configured on request.
In the standard solution, regular data back-ups of file and database servers are stored
temporarily on a back-up server and later transmitted to a tape drive. Scheidt &
Page 39
Fare collection
systems
Bachmann uses BackupExec from Symantec as the back-up software, although other
software packages or back-up models can be used after agreement.
2.2.5.5 Archive and purge server
In order to keep the database server lean and quick, historical data can optionally be
transmitted to a separate archive server on a regular basis. Such an archive server is a
dedicated Oracle database entity and the data are therefore permanently available for
evaluations.
2.2.5.6 Storage area networks
Storage Area Networks (SAN) are always deployed if several servers are to perform the
same functions, for example in server farms, in case of server virtualisation or for the
provision of substitute servers.
2.2.6
Database licensing
A central element of FareGo Data is the Oracle database server. Scheidt & Bachmann
offers the system with various options for database licensing, these differing from each
other in alignment and use. In this case, a FareGo Data Integration License is deployed.
2.2.6.1 FareGo Data Integration license
Functions, options and the number of licenses depend on the hardware architecture
required by the customer, the number of databases and the processors deployed, in
which virtual environments must be regarded separately.
An Oracle Full-Use license can be offered together with FareGo Data from Scheidt &
Bachmann. This, however, is not part of the FareGo Data license, but should rather be
viewed separately. If appropriate, the Oracle Full-Use license can also be provided by
the customer.
2.2.6.2 Database administration
The Oracle database integrated in FareGo Data needs to be maintained or
administered at regular intervals. The work involved in this context and its frequency
depend upon the size of the system and the customer's IT processes and includes
applications such as changing passwords, adapting the scale of the database, checking
database availability or analysing levels of performance.
Depending on the customer's business requirements, both Oracle tools and programs
from third party suppliers can be deployed for this work. Scheidt & Bachmann can
likewise administer the database as an optional service.
2.2.6.3 Database maintenance
Just as the FareGo Data license and the Oracle license are separate, the maintenance
contracts are likewise separate. Software maintenance for FareGo Data covers the
Page 40
Fare collection
systems
program code of the Scheidt & Bachmann applications and enables patches to be
supplied or the software to be updated.
Database maintenance includes the installation of patches, updates and service packs
for the database. Unless agreed otherwise with Scheidt & Bachmann, these fall under
the customer's remit and they require a software maintenance contract with Oracle. If
the database license is supplied by Scheidt & Bachmann, the first year of such a
software maintenance contract can be supplied together with the database license. The
customer must order this work directly from Oracle for subsequent years.
2.2.7
Network components and band width
FareGo Data consistently uses TCP/IP-based protocols to transmit data throughout all
communication routes.
Servers and workplace computers are typically connected through an Ethernet LAN. In
order to ensure optimal performance, the bandwidth of the network should provide at
least 100 Mbit/s.
All transaction data generated in the field devices or the tariff and operating data
required by the devices can be transmitted between the control computer and the end
devices using online or offline processes.
2.2.7.1 Communication with external services
There are a number of interfaces to external services to import and export the following
data.
•
Tariff and settlement data for import into SAP
•
Import of tariff data etc. from central transport offices
•
Forwarding alarms
Standard protocols (such as ftp, smb or http) are commonly used, with a detailed
specification to be agreed during the system design phase.
2.2.8
FareGo Data CS
2.2.8.1 Introduction
The Scheidt & Bachmann FareGo Data back office system corresponds to current
standards with regard to technology, user ergonomics and simple extendibility.
The GUI at the back office features modern user screens which enable intuitive system
operation. The system applications have been optimised to the extent that most of them
can be executed from just one screen. The system allows several applications to be run
in different windows at the same time.
A wide range of statistical evaluations is provided to support users in their work.
Individual statistics can be compiled quickly and effectively with the software. Database
Page 41
Fare collection
systems
entries are rapidly and reliably determined and sorted by means of configurable filters.
The filters used are displayed by the system and can be edited by the user at any time.
Building on the base version, additional modules can be added to FareGo Data. Thanks
to the open program architecture, new technical software developments made by the
Fare Collection Systems division can be retrofitted at any time.
The FareGo Data base version contains all the modules needed to operate and
administer a modern fare collection system:

2.2.8.2 Operating concept of FareGo Data
All GUIs in FareGo Data follow the same principles with regard to design and operation:
•
The navigation bar at the top provides access to global functions at any time. It
can be individually configured by each user.
•
The information field on the left-hand side contains the sub-functions for the
respective module summarised into function groups.
•
The respective sub-function selected by the user is displayed in the main
window, this could concern tables or detailed data.
The figure below shows the main window of the GUI with the navigation bar at the top,
the information field at the side and the table shown in the main window.
Page 42
Fare collection
systems
Example of the FareGo Data GUI
FareGo Data is characterised by outstanding ergonomics, something recognisable from
the many detail solutions:
Parallel processing of different modules
FareGo Data allows different modules to be run in parallel. As many modules as
needed can be kept open, facilitating even major changes to be made quickly and
efficiently.
Support for multiple monitors
Windows can be undocked from the main window and positioned on other screens. All
screen settings are saved specific to the user.
Sensible arrangement of data
The main window with its arrangement of tables and detail data provides a rapid
overview of the input data.
Filter functions
Effective filter functions enable data to be processed quickly, even where large
inventories of data are concerned. All filters used are always displayed during searches.
Filtering by multiple criteria
Filters on different fields can arbitrarily be combined, selected, or deselected.
Simple search by references
Page 43
Fare collection
systems
References to other objects can be entered in almost all editing screens, e.g. a sales
device refers to a location, a device class or an operating data version. References can
be entered comfortably thanks to sophisticated filter mechanisms.
Direct reference entry (Quick Pick)
If reference numbers are known, entries can be made directly in text fields, FareGo
Data then automatically determines the matching entry.
Generating an ID proposal
During free input of ID numbers, the system immediately suggests the next free number
able to be used.
Cloning inputs
New inputs can be generated at many points from existing data records. Consistency
checks are made in this context, the result is marked in colour.
Grouping details in tabs
Detailed information is summarised into sensible groups and displayed as tabs.
Processing multiple data records
In case of multiple selection, the individual elements are offered one after the other for
processing.
Processing dates
Dates can be entered and changed with a configurable data format and corresponding
selection windows, a quick entry of the current time is possible in many places.
2.2.9
Administration
2.2.9.1 Program manager
All software functions are bundled and managed in the Scheidt & Bachmann program
manager and, depending on the access rights, can be executed from a workstation.
Apart from access via the start menu, individual functions can be added to the quickstart bar or modules opened when FareGo Data is started.
Page 44
Fare collection

2.2.9.2 Master data administration
2.2.9.2.1
Management of user groups
FareGo Data assigns users to groups, to which execution rights are assigned. The
access rights of each group are configured by the system administrator and can be
extended or adapted at any time. Members of a user group therefore only ever see the
part of the system they require for their work. Deactivated functions are suppressed by
the system. The system does not permit unauthorised access to an area not defined for
the user group.
All users in the administrator group have all rights to the background system. The
"Workshop" user group is given access rights for field devices (e.g. to execute service
commands and PIN code) and has restricted rights for the background system, to
assess and rectify disturbances.
FareGo Data management of user groups
Page 46
Fare collection
systems
2.2.9.2.2
User management
A dedicated user account is set up in FareGo Data for each user of the system. The
personal data of the user can be stored, changed or blocked here. Each account
contains the user's name and password, plus the allocation to a user group. Not only
those working at the FareGo Data back office are regarded as users, but also service
technicians with access to the field devices.
FareGo Data user management
Page 47
Fare collection
systems
2.2.9.3 Audit Trail
FareGo Data records all user activity. Any change of data in the database,
configurations or alike can be found in the system’s audit trail. The following data
elements will be recorded:
•
Point in time, workstation and IP address
•
User
•
FareGo Data Module and performed activity
•
Success or failure of the activity
•
The executed SQL command
With these elements, FareGo Data implements requirements of modern IT standards
such as ISO 27001 or PCI DSS.
The Administrator may configure what is recorded and which users have access to the
recorded data. A comfortable GUI offers a 2-level-filter for many types of activities, e.g.
analysis of single events or search for critical activities.
The audit trail can be exported for the usage in other tools such as a central log server.
FareGo Data Audit Trail
2.2.9.4 Archiving data
In order to retain levels of performance for the database with regard to statistical
evaluations and reports, data inventories should be archived at regular intervals. The
Page 48
Fare collection
systems
process can be initiated automatically by the system or manually by the administrator.
The archiving parameters (archiving intervals and the periods to be archived) are freely
definable.
FareGo Data archiving manager
2.2.10
Configuration
2.2.10.1 Device administration
The device administration module in FareGo Data serves to set up and maintain the
device-specific master data. Software modules are available for organising and
maintaining the following functions:
•
Management of the network configuration
Management of the back office system includes assigning a network address and
other network parameters to each end device and server.
•
Management of the workplace computers
Management of a workstation includes assigning a network address and a name
and the link up to the Scheidt & Bachmann back office system.
Page 49
Fare collection
systems
•
Management of the classes and groups of devices
Device classes can be deployed in a versatile manner to enable differently
working devices to be grouped together. For example, a certain article could be
sold solely by devices belonging to one class, or a certain software version could
be allocated to a specific class. Reports can naturally also be filtered by device
classes.
Device groups fulfil a similar purpose, thus devices can be simply classified by
different criteria.
•
Management of devices (e.g. TCP/ IP address, PSI entity)
The management of devices includes assigning a device number, a network
address and allocation to a device class. If required, the assignment here can be
made to a line created beforehand or bank details can be declared for settlement
of the devices. The individual devices furthermore get linked to the applicable
tariff data.
•
Management of locations
The management of locations includes the definition of a location name, a
location number and assignment of sales devices to the locations.
Page 50

FareGo Data maintenance of devices
2.2.10.2 Operating data management
Operating data are the parameters specific to sub-assemblies which are required for the
correct operation of field devices, for example settings for printers or card terminals.
FareGo Data includes management of the operating data required for each assembly
group, which are activated in dependence on the configuration of the field devices.
2.2.10.3 Version administration
Maintenance of versions on the sales device software is provided by the FareGo Data
"Configuration" module. This administers, composes and provides the software versions
to be transmitted to the sales devices. The software versions always belong to one of
the categories listed below:
Version category
Description
Operational data
Technical parameters of sales devices.
Page 51
Fare collection
systems
Version category
Description
Application software
Software generating the screens to operate the
machines and sell tickets.
Tariff data
Data to depict the tariff structures of tickets,
location tables, group tables, relational tables
and multimedia elements, such as printed texts,
display texts and speech outputs.
System software
Scheidt & Bachmann operating system
software, software to operate the device subassemblies, and driver software.
Print layout software
Layouts for tickets and receipts
Each category of versions can be specifically created and assigned to each device
class.
FareGo Data version administration
Page 52
Fare collection
systems
After a new version has been composed, this is summarised into a new release and
transmitted to the device class of the field devices controlled by time.
During the download, the end device declares which software versions it has currently
loaded. Subsequently, only those versions that are not already present on the devices
will be transmitted. The current versions of the sales devices are stored in a constantly
updated list and these can be polled in the form of a report.
2.2.10.4 Release Management
Release Management is performed independently by FareGo Data and serves to
monitor the versions transmitted to the end devices. A release describes a consistent
data record of versions of a device class containing all the main parameters for
operating the devices. The device class releases are summarised into an overall
release, a so-called initialization release. This release has its own identification number
and describes the state of the entire system over all device classes.
Master Release
Release Device Class I
Version Operating Data Software
Version Application Software
Version Tariff Software
Version System Software
Version Printlayout Software
Release Device Class II
Release Device Class III
Version Operating Data Software
Version Application Software
Version Tariff Software
Version System Software
Version Printlayout Software
FareGo Data release administration
The overall release for the system and the device class releases are automatically
generated by the compilation of version information. This process is also referred to as
"initialisation data generation".
A release status contains all the valid versions of the device classes. FareGo Data
automatically compares the release status in the devices with the desired release status
through a target-actual comparison. Missing versions are downloaded automatically by
the devices. The loaded release status has a unique number which can be polled from
the sales device by means of a service command.
Page 53
Fare collection
systems
2.2.10.5 Basic tariff data management
The basic tariff data management module depicts the sellable products with prices,
location tables and relations. Product prices can be changed here, new locations can be
entered and relations can be changed and added. Texts can also be stored in different
languages right through to speech outputs.
A period of validity can be declared for each product. This can be printed out upon issue
so that it can be recognised by the passenger. A product can be managed in such a
way that it can only be sold at a precisely defined time, e.g. only in the morning, only at
weekends, only during school holidays etc. It is also possible to restrict an article to
certain devices.
The tariff data are subject to version administration and have a period of validity.
Version administration allows several tariff versions to be bundled and distributed to the
end devices. New fare tariffs can be brought into the field in advance in this way and
subsequently activated in a coordinated manner.

2.2.10.6 Barcode tracking
With barcode monitoring activated in the end devices, the paper deployed can be
managed by the Scheidt & Bachmann back office system. The following functions have
been implemented and are available to users:
•
Monitoring the barcode serial number on the back of the ticket. A "paper jump"
event is generated if a gap is recognised in the barcode serial numbers. This
could be caused by changing a roll of paper, by an error (such as a paper jam in
the printer) or by service personnel tearing off single tickets.
•
Recording the respective barcode number per stack at the start and end of the
shift.
•
Generating an event when a new roll of paper is loaded.
•
A lack of paper is reported by the end device to the background system. The
report is generated from the quantity of barcode numbers remaining, which can
be set in the system.
•
Evaluations in the background system. This report can be used to verify, for
example, whether all tickets on a roll of paper have been processed, or whether
half a paper roll was removed from a device and loaded into another device.
The barcode information from the end device is stored in the sales data as an additional
data element. Recording barcodes enables comprehensive, additional security and
monitoring action to be taken to prevent tickets being manipulated.
2.2.11
Device monitoring
2.2.11.1 Communication with the field devices
All transaction data generated by the field devices or the tariff and operating data
required by the field devices can be transmitted between the back office and the field
devices in an online or offline process.
Data transmissions between the back office and the field devices can be encrypted, if
required.
2.2.11.1.1
Online connection
Devices can be connected online through a LAN or via a GPRS/UMTS interface.
TCP/IP is used over all communication routes to address the communication partners.
Data exchange can be initiated by using the Scheduler, i.e. controlled by time. The
bandwidth required for communications between the field devices and FareGo Data
depends to a great extent on the functions implemented, e.g. non-cash payments or eTicketing. The capacity is calculated during the detailed design of the system, typical
values lie between a few 100 kbit/s and 10 Mbit/s per station.
Field devices derive the time from the background system in a uniform manner, a
synchronisation is made when data is uploaded.
Page 55
Fare collection
systems
2.2.11.1.2
Offline linkage
USB sticks are deployed as offline data carriers. This enables data to be exchanged
between devices and the Scheidt & Bachmann background system.
The data carriers can be used as a central, unique data module for all functions, such
as version update, disposing of transaction data and administering hot lists.
2.2.11.2 Job Scheduler
The exchange of data between the field devices and the back office is coordinated and
controlled using the job Scheduler function. The system automatically executes
scheduled data transmissions for the online devices at pre-set times. Unplanned data
transmissions can also be initiated by the administrator at any time.
The following tasks are performed by the schedule planner on a regular basis.
•
Collect data from the devices at set times
•
Transmit data to the devices at set times
•
Collect data from external applications / systems
•
Transmit data to external applications / systems
•
Execute commands to control devices
All upload and download functions in the system are controlled and administered by Job
Scheduler based on time. It can be configured whether a transaction is a one-off or a
repeating process (by time interval, e.g. always on Sunday at 23:30 hrs or every day).
FareGo Data Job Scheduler
Page 56
Fare collection
systems
Job Scheduler enables new jobs to be defined and transmitted to the system.
Furthermore, a control mechanism is implemented which enables the course and the
correct end of the job, or any errors which occurred during execution, to be monitored
and recorded.
An upload or a download can be ordered for single devices, device classes or groups of
device classes - separate from each other - through Job Scheduler.
Parameters which the system collects whilst executing a job can be viewed using the
history function in job administration. These parameters are execution status, start of
execution, last attempt at execution and the time that execution succeeded.
2.2.11.2.1
Download function
All software versions ready for transmission to end devices are downloaded in a
separate process. The timing of the start of the download process is controlled by Job
Scheduler. Devices declare which versions they have during the communication
between the central download process and the version review function in each device.
The only versions subsequently transmitted to the devices are those which they do not
already have. This procedure ensures that all devices have the same software and
operating data stati after a download cycle, and that transmissions are made efficiently
in the shortest time possible.
After each download, a list (kept by the system) of the software versions currently
downloaded to the sales devices is updated. The contents of the table are displayed in
the form of a report in the FareGo Data status monitor, or are printed out for further use,
and enable the status of the versions downloaded to the sales devices to be reviewed at
a glance.
2.2.11.2.2
Upload function
The same mechanisms used for the download function are also deployed for uploading
sales data and technical information.
All incoming data are entered into the central database run by the back office system,
from where they are available for further processing.
Data is checked for consistency during transmission. When the transmission fails, the
data record is deleted and the device requests that the data be transmitted again.

2.2.11.3 Direct commands
Providing that the sales devices have an online connection (LAN or wireless) to FareGo
Data, various remote control commands can be sent to the devices from a screen
selection form. Depending on the type of device, a number of remote control commands
can be issued, such as:
•
Set end device to "ready for sales" / "out of service
•
Soft start an end device (reboot)
•
Activate / deactivate coin acceptance
•
Activate / deactivate individual coin values in coin acceptance
•
Activate / deactivate all banknote processing
•
Activate / deactivate individual note values in banknote acceptance (single bank
note denominations)
•
Activate / deactivate all credit / debit payments
•
Activate / deactivate individual payment methods in credit / debit payments
•
Manual status query to single field devices
•
Manually set the date and time at end devices
•
Status query

FareGo Data direct commands
All direct commands can be sent to individual end devices or as a collective job to
device groups, device classes, devices of a line or to all end devices.
2.2.11.4 Alarm management
Alarm management for field devices is configured in the master data management
module of the devices and can be controlled from there right down to single alarms. All
error messages from field devices connected online are recorded centrally by FareGo
Data.
Alarm management provides two modules for assessing faults and forwarding notice of
these.
2.2.11.4.1
Action in case of an alarm
Online alarms are sequentially recorded and displayed by the alarm management
module. The alarm messages received from field devices are categorised based on
configuration data for further processing and are then forwarded to staff on-call. The
figure below shows a listing of the alarm messages received.
Page 59
Fare collection
systems
FareGo Data alarm manager
2.2.11.4.2
Forwarding alarms
In general, FareGo Data offers the option of notifying certain events to the external
offices concerned (e.g. service technicians, police, etc.) via SMS or e-Mail. Therefore,
device groups and users can managed in FareGo Data’s "Alarm Processor Groups"
module. A prerequisite for this is that the client has an appropriately configured SMS or
e-Mail server.
In the course of user management, an allocation of time profiles and availability profiles
is administered, so that preset events can also be forwarded to those people on duty.
Time / date rules can be compiled for this purpose and allocated to profile groups. Work
rotas, shift work amongst service technicians or even those staff on-call can thus be
depicted.

FareGo Data screen form for editing alarm forwarding
2.2.12
Reporting
Sales devices from Scheidt & Bachmann document all sales transactions, technical
events and access data without exception in log files. This is referred to as transaction
recording. The elements of transaction recording form the data basis for all the
evaluations and reports available from the sales device and in the background.
FareGo Data provides wide-ranging statistics functions for authorised users to evaluate
transaction data. Statistics can be compiled automatically by the system as a routine at
scheduled times, or they can be generated individually by the user.
The figure below shows the screen form for statistical evaluations with the window for
selecting preconfigured filters.
Page 61
Fare collection
systems
FareGo Data statistical evaluation screen form
The following filters and sorting routines have been preinstalled to allow users to
generate individual statistics.
•
Filter by prescribed periods, such as day, month, quarter, year or shift, or by a
freely definable period by declaring the day and hour of the start and end date.
•
Filter by device classes, devices or shifts
•
Filter by predefined events (event codes)
The evaluations generated are depicted in tabular form and can be saved in a number
of different formats (doc, pdf, csv, xls…).
Page 62
Fare collection
systems
Example table for statistical evaluations
FareGo Data is supplied with a set of predefined, standard evaluations which cover the
majority of assessments required. Additional evaluations can be installed subsequently
at any time and adapted to the needs of the customer.

FareGo Data Monitor+
FareGo Data Monitor+ provides the operator with a comprehensive overview of the
current operating state of the field devices and their sub-assemblies in real-time. Faults
can be analysed down to the device sub-assembly level, the linkage with other FareGo
Data modules enables any disturbances to be quickly rectified.
FareGo Data status monitor
The network segment under review can be selected from the information field at the
side of the main screen. Filtering by devices, device classes, device groups, lines and
stations is possible at any time. The field already contains a classification of the state of
the devices.
The main window shows detailed information on selected groups of devices, optionally
either in a graphic view with explanatory icons or in a diagrammatic sub-assembly view.
Coloured symbols in the views allow the user to "jump" down to the subordinate level,
e.g. from the line plan down to stations. Any disturbances can be quickly recognised
and diagnosed in this way.
Page 65
Fare collection
systems
FareGo Data status monitor – sub-assembly view.
The status monitor furthermore integrates online alarm messages, version status and
counter readings, so that a complete picture of the state of the system can be
generated. Direct commands and device management are called up directly without
complications. The status monitor is thus a central tool in the day-to-day running of the
system.
Page 66
Fare collection
systems
2.2.15
FareGo Data Tariff+
Whilst the FareGo Data Basis tariff data management module allows simple tasks to be
performed, such as amending prices or correcting relations, the FareGo Data Tariff+
add-on contains all the tools required to independently enter and manage new fare
tariffs, right through to changing a device's user interface and print layouts.
2.2.15.1 Editing print layouts
As a rule, articles are assigned to predefined print layouts. These determine the size
and other characteristics of the paper, as well as the graphics and texts to be printed
out plus their format. However, a dedicated layout can be assigned to each article, if
necessary.
Layouts are administered and edited via a GUI. Editing the print layout enables different
elements to be freely positioned and formatted within the extent allowed by the printer’s
capabilities. For example:
•
Fixed texts
•
Variable texts from the tariff data (e.g. date, price, zone, etc.)
•
Variable texts from the device configuration (e.g. device number)
•
Variable texts from the IBIS (e.g. line or route)
•
Graphics (e.g. constant bitmaps, variable bitmaps or lines)
•
Space reserved for barcodes
The aforesaid elements allow an individual presentation of various ticket layouts.
Layouts are specific to each device group, they are bundled per device group and
administered by version.
2.2.15.2 Screen layout editor
A screen editor has been integrated into the overall system in order to offer users the
greatest possible degree of freedom and convenience. This feature allows users to load
the sales screen forms of the sales devices into the editor and adapt them there.
Page 67
Fare collection
systems
FareGo Data screen editor – start screen
Changes – e.g. if a special ticket is launched – can be created with the screen editor
and stored with the appropriate attributes. So-called quick buttons, which draw on the
Windows functions, are integrated in the program to simplify the individual work steps
with the editor. In this way, an element can be quickly and simply copied and inserted.
The following changes to the application can be made simply with the help of the editor:
•
Change to the formatting/appearance of a message
•
Change to the formatting/appearance of a screen button
•
Change of background images
•
Render existing screen elements invisible
•
Make predefined screen elements visible that had previously been hidden
•
Add new tickets based on the the same business logic as existing tickets
•
Change the application parameters (limits, timeouts)
•
New assignment of existing print layouts to elements
Page 68

Applications are versioned and are downloaded to the sales devices together with
operating data and system software.
2.2.16
FareGo Data Archive+
An "Archiving and Disposal" tool is provided for backing-up and archiving data. This
tool, which is contained even in FareGo Data Basic, is tailored to the requirements and
offers the necessary flexibility for configuring specific periods of time. The system
exports the data in simple files to the place where they are to be archived or from where
they can be re-imported.
The FareGo Data Archive+ add-on transmits data to be archived to a separate database
server. The data remain available for evaluations there. This produces the following
benefits:
•
The FareGo Data database stays lean and healthy
•
FareGo Data. as a real-time system, is not loaded down by resource-gobbling
inquiries concerning historical data
With regard to archiving, a differentiation is made between dynamic and static data.
Static data are understood to be (sales device) configuration data, for example, whilst
dynamic data could be, say, sales transactions.
Page 70
Fare collection
systems
How archiving functions
Dynamic data are always context sensitive, they must therefore be assigned to static
data so that they can be interpreted. Only those field devices which are managed by the
system can generate transaction data (sales data). When the archiving and disposal
function is executed, the data to be archived (e.g. transaction data, event and alarm
data) are moved to a separate archive database. Moreover, the archived data can be
written as Oracle export files for the purpose of data back-ups. The Oracle export files
contain both the static and the dynamic data. Once the archiving and disposal function
has been launched, the application checks whether the static data are still up-to-date
since the last time the function was executed. If this is not the case, all static data are
copied to the archive database. Once the static data have been archived, the dynamic
data are then archived.
In other words, the archive database is a place off the beaten track to store transaction
data, whilst these can still be drawn on for evaluations in the same way as those in the
current database.
FareGo Data Archive+ requires a separate database server including the necessary
operating system and database licenses.
Page 71
Fare collection
systems
2.2.17
FareGo Data Paper+
The FareGo Data Paper+ option adds a comprehensive paper roll management tool to
the functionality of the FareGo Data system. It is not included in this proposal but is an
available option.
The tool depicts the complete life cycle of the paper used for ticketing, from delivery to
issue through to the destruction of residual rolls.
The paper sort, the first roll number and the number of rolls are recorded when paper is
delivered to the stores. The system allocates a unique delivery number to the delivery.
The background system independently breaks down deliveries of paper into rolls. Each
roll is subsequently described and identified in the system by its first barcode number
and barcode quantity.
Preparing an issue delivery note
In principle, rolls are identified and allocated to a delivery/person using their first
barcode number in order to generate a paper delivery note upon hand-out. A planned
recipient and a target destination can be entered when the delivery note is being
prepared. The delivery notes are printed out and are countersigned by the recipient
upon handover. A return delivery note is generated in the background system for
returns, which credits the rolls allocated to the person. Other changes of status, such as
the insertion and removal of rolls in end devices or the destruction of rolls or roll
residues, are likewise supported by the tool. Only certain changes of state are allowed
here, e.g. a roll that has not been issued cannot be loaded into a device.
Page 72
Fare collection
systems
2.2.18
FareGo Data Transfer+
As a rule, FareGo Data installations are tied into an existing IT infrastructure. This
requires an exchange of data with other software packages in both directions, i.e. data
need to be imported as well as exported.
FareGo Data contains a framework for administering import/export processes, on which
any adapter can be hooked in. In principle, many exports and all imports can be
adapted on request to take local circumstances into account , even if integration can be
simplified in many places by standard modules.
The license of FareGo Data Transfer+ includes the import/export framework plus one of
the agvailable adapters. Necessary efforts to adapt an import or export module depend
on the magnitude of changes and will be separately specified and offered.
2.2.18.1 Export interfaces
Time controlled functions predominate for exports. As a rule, data are exported on a
daily or weekly basis. Sales data or events are likely candidates for export.
A cyclic job is set up in FareGo Data to generate an export. Exports generated in this
way are then available, depending on the settings, e.g. as files. All exports executed
can be inspected in the revision history.
The following are available as standard modules, although customer-specific
adaptations can be made on request:

2.2.18.2 Import interfaces
Importing data / information on fare tariffs is common practice in numerous projects in
order to use existing information and structures. For this purpose, the Scheidt &
Bachmann back office provides a framework under Transfer+ to import external data.
This usually concerns release lists, blockage lists or fare tariff data.
Imported data on fare tariffs (articles, relations, tariff zones etc.) are versioned and can
be subsequently edited. After import and subsequent editing in the Scheidt & Bachmann
back office system, they are available for download to the field devices.
As imports are customer-specific to a great degree, they are specified and ordered
separately.

Quality & Testing
At Scheidt & Bachmann we believe that quality is an essential part of providing excellent
products to meet and exceed our customers’ requirements, and to support that
necessity we have dedicated ourselves to develop and refine our Quality Assurance
Processes.
Quality assurance process
The Scheidt & Bachmann Quality Management System established the processes used
to deliver products and servers per the customers’ requirements. It is applicable to
design, manufacture, sales and servicing activities. Scheidt & Bachmann is certified
according to ISO 9001:2000 by Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance. Our first
certification was achieved in February 1993.
At Scheidt & Bachmann, we emphasize that quality is a joint task for the entire company
and all concerned parties, requiring the continuous commitment and cooperation of
Page 74
Fare collection
systems
every employee, beyond the limits of divisions and functions. We achieve total quality
by consistently eliminating sources of faults, in all functional areas during the processing
of an order, from the point of marketing, to the installation, and use of our systems.
We entrust all managers with the execution of Quality Tasks. They have total
responsibility for establishing, maintaining, and monitoring the Quality Assurance
System as applied to their area of responsibility and meeting ISO 9001:2000 Standards.
Our efforts are to exceed, at all levels, the standards set to ISO 9001:2000 and offer our
customers the best product and services in the industry. It is our continuous
commitment to safe-guard and strengthen the reputation and success of our company.
The Quality Assurance Department of Scheidt & Bachmann represents a central
function within the organization of the Scheidt & Bachmann Group. The head of Quality
Assurance is responsible for all quality issues within the company with principal duties
as follows:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Support of the organization of QM systems
Central coordination of the documentation
Recording and assessment of all evaluations of the quality management systems
of subsidiaries that are affiliated with the QM system
Supervision of internal audits in the subsidiaries
Execution of audits
Forcing of the development of the QM system
The Quality Assurance Department is a separate organization from the departments
responsible for the design and delivery of products and services. However, Quality
Assurance personnel are critical members of the project team as they collaborate with
the Project Manager in developing and executing the test program to verify that the
products and services meet the design specifications agreed to with the customer.
Design and Development Planning
Any design and development activity is documented by describing the activities and
associated responsibilities. These are updated as the design progress progresses.
Included in these plans are the steps to check the development phases (evaluation,
verification, validation).
Individual product-related requirements are established and documented as design
specifications. The completed design is results in manufacturing instruction and
drawings, a functional specification, a performance specification, or similar and
distributed to appropriate departments and groups for information and action.
Design and Development Verification
The finished product is verified according to the requirements of the development plan.
Qualified personnel appointed by the design department or other departments as
needed do the validation testing. Under certain circumstances, design verification may
also include a comparison with approved similar design. Prior to the delivery of the
product, its development is subject to validation. As a rule, design validation is
Page 75
Fare collection
systems
accomplished by field testing. Field tests are performed in agreement between the
design department and sales divisions. Depending on the type of project, there will be
"Factory Acceptance Tests" with or without contribution of the customer.
Hardware Quality Assurance
Hardware Design is first evaluated by the development department against the contract
requirements. The Quality Assurance Department performs this verification:
The quality laboratory, a part of the Scheidt & Bachmann Quality Assurance
Department, is also responsible for the planning and the execution of First Article
Testing (FAT). The procedure for FAT consists of the following steps:
•
•
•
•
•
Formulating test objectives and requirements
Test planning for device prototypes and or design proof of concept prototypes by
the quality laboratory
Preparation for testing by the quality laboratory
Execution of testing by the quality laboratory
Test Evaluation and documentation by the quality laboratory
Test Planning for Manufacturing
The test plan for manufacturing fulfills the job of "converting" established quality test
data into a comprehensive and universal, practical and binding test procedure for all
employees involved in the operation of quality testing.
The department of Quality and Test Planning, a part of the Scheidt &Bachmann Quality
Assurance Department, takes responsibility for the introduction and maintenance of the
test plans for manufacturing. The test plans are documented in the S&B MRP System.
Each test plan describes:
•
•
•
•
•
Necessity of testing
Testing procedure
Frequency of testing
Test characteristics, Method of testing
Testing equipment
Only plans which are released by the Quality Assurance test planners are available to
production. In the case of technical changes, the release code is automatically changed
by the MRP System and the plans are locked for manufacturing, which effectively
places a hold on manufacturing until the item is released.
Configuration Management & Change Control
The platform for configuration management and change control of hardware elements
during design and manufacturing is the Scheidt &Bachmann MRP System. The Scheidt
&Bachmann part number identifies all hardware items from the very highest product
level, e.g. Ticket Vending Machine, down to the lowest level piece part, e.g. screws, and
Page 76
Fare collection
systems
includes a technical index for change control. Any technical modification of a part will
result in a change to the technical index. All drawings are named by part numbers in the
same manner.
The bill of material lists the hierarchical structure each for each product. In the case of a
technical change to any component, the manufacturing plan and all existing
manufacturing orders are automatically locked. Authorized persons of the productionplanning department establish the actions required based on the MRP-documentation
before operations can resume.
The configuration of a manufactured product is documented by association of serial
numbers. The serial number is the important reference between part number and its
technical index.
Software Quality Assurance Program
Scheidt & Bachmann’s Software Quality Assurance activities follow the guidance outlined by IEEE Standard 730-1998 illustrated in Error! Reference source not found..
Most of the Scheidt & Bachmann software processes are ‘standard’ applications that
are developed as part of the ‘CORE’ software modules. Based on system design, it is
not required to change any of these ‘CORE’ processes in order to comply and add
functionalities to the system (customization). These processes are documented as
described within this section. The documentation of All ‘outer’-layer processes and all
‘NEW’ processes, which are modified/added to comply with the customer specific
requirements, are updated accordingly.

Test Methodology
Scheidt & Bachmann will provide a high level test program plan which names all tests,
the test sequence, and the dependencies of the tests and the relevant parameters of
each test.
We incorporated dedicated steps for the City of Fort Collins to verify the Final Design of
the system at various milestones of the project:
•
DR – Design Review
•
FAT – Factory Acceptance Test
•
IAT – Installation Acceptance Test
•
RMAT – Reliability, Maintainability and Accuracy Test
S&B will perform internal inspections and testing. This approach represents our
standard methodology which incorporates the use of exiting test plans and procedures.
The installation of any equipment is based on a release for delivery resulting from the
successful completion of the Production Acceptance Test (to be carried out by Scheidt
& Bachmann QA department). The Production Acceptance Test and the Installation
Acceptance Tests are performed per a group of devices.
The RMAT will be performed after an accepted installation. System Acceptance will
occur when all requirements of the RMAT are fulfilled, 30 days after start of Revenue
Service or 120 days after the installation of field devices, whichever comes first.

Warranty
Subject to final negotiation, Scheidt & Bachmann is proposing the following standard
warranty. The warranty will begin on the installation of the first device, and end 12
months following System Acceptance.
Scheidt & Bachmann warrants as follows:
(a)
under normal use and service, the fare collection hardware equipment to be
provided by Scheidt & Bachmann under the Contract (collectively the “Equipment”), will
be free from physical defects in material and workmanship at the time delivered and
subject to normal wear and tear and replacement cycles thereafter.
(b)
Under normal use and service, software developed by Scheidt & Bachmann and
to be provided by Scheidt & Bachmann under the Contract (collectively the “Software”)
will perform substantially in compliance with the agreed written specifications (excluding
"bugs" or minor discrepancies, inconsistencies, brief interruptions, and other flaws that
do not materially impact performance of the intended functions).
Scheidt & Bachmann will remedy Defects in Equipment and Software in accordance
with the warranty procedures set out herein. A ‘Defect’ will be defined as a material
deviation of the Equipment or Software from the warranties defined above, provided that
the relevant Defect is reproducible on Scheidt & Bachmann’s test system.
Exclusions
Scheidt & Bachmann’s obligation to remedy Defects will be excluded if:
(a)
A Defect is the result of normal wear and tear, vandalism, misuse, operator error,
unauthorized modifications, improper use, improper maintenance, negligent acts or
omissions of the Customer or Force Majeure Events;
(b)
A Defect caused by design, material, software or interfaces provided by
Employer.
Consumables and wear parts that have reached their normal lifetime are not covered by
the warranties. Further, Defects caused by consumables and wear parts will not be
considered for the calculation of agreed reliability measures.
The Customer is obliged to protect data in compliance with manuals provided by
Scheidt & Bachmann and to take appropriate data security measures and protective
measures against viruses and other external influences. Scheidt & Bachmann will not
be responsible for the reproduction of lost data.
Warranty Period
The warranty period for all Equipment and Software will end 12 months from System
Acceptance.
At the end of the warranty period as defined herein, the warranty expires for all

Warranty Procedures
The Customer’s warranty rights require that it inspects the delivered goods upon receipt
and notifies Scheidt & Bachmann promptly in writing, but not later than one week after
receipt, of any obvious Defect. Further, Scheidt & Bachmann must be notified of any
hidden/latent Defects immediately, but latest within five (5) days upon discovery. It is a
condition that the Defect, or the cause of the Defect, must be demonstrated to have
existed at the date of transfer of risk.
The Customer may submit a warranty claim to Scheidt & Bachmann for any
Equipment/Software that suffers a Defect. A warranty claim must include a description
of the Defect and the problem experienced and must be made within five (5) business
days from the detection of such Defect. If, based on Scheidt & Bachmann’s workbench
analysis, Scheidt & Bachmann determines the Customer’s warranty claim is not covered
under this warranty, Scheidt & Bachmann will notify the Customer in writing. Scheidt &
Bachmann’s notification will list each item in the Customer’s warranty claim that it
believes is not covered by this warranty and will include a written analysis of its reason
for denying the Customer’s warranty claim.
Defective Equipment returned to the designated Scheidt & Bachmann’s repair center
will be repaired or replaced, at Scheidt & Bachmann’s sole discretion, in less than 30
days from receipt of the defective material. Where the repair or replacement will take
more than 30 days, Scheidt & Bachmann is allowed to provide a provisional solution
until repair/replacement of the defective Equipment is finalized. Scheidt & Bachmann
may use spare parts that are purchased by the Customer to replace a failed or defective
part. The Customer will maintain an adequate inventory of operational spares (based
on Scheidt & Bachmann’s recommendation) which are necessary to maintain the
Equipment during the warranty period. The responsibility of Scheidt & Bachmann is
limited to the cost of the defective part.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Scheidt & Bachmann’s warranty obligations do not
include preventive maintenance or on-site services and Scheidt & Bachmann will not be
responsible for any on-site costs associated with the repair or replacement of any
defective components.
In the event of a Defect in Software or design, Scheidt & Bachmann will present to the
Customer a plan to resolve the Defect within a timely manner, including reasonable
timelines for correction.
Any shipping charges accruing in connection with defective/repaired parts will be borne
by the Customer for shipping to Scheidt & Bachmann’s repair facility and by Scheidt &
Bachmann for shipping to the Customer's premises. Repaired parts will be delivered to
a location designated by the Customer.

Project Description
The MBTA Boston Project represents a complete integrated Automated Fare collection
System for the Boston area. This includes the Bus-System and the Subway-System.
Based on the same fare media (Ticket, card) & tariff system it is now possible to
provide, to the customers of MBTA, convenient transfers between the two systems.
Frequent riders are able to use cards (magnetic- or Smart Cards) for convenient
multiple uses throughout the system (including autoload and ’manual’ re-load at FVMs
and TOMs). Project wide Smart Card media integration is one of the key elements of
this project. The contactless smart card media will be used as Payment type (Money
Value, Multiple Ride Pass), VIP Discount Pass with Picture ID (Senior, Student, VIP
Pass), Prepaid Time Duration Pass (Weekend, week, month, …) or as an Account
Based Monthly Card. Easy, convenient, and quick to use and fast processing are some
of the main objectives realized in this project through the use of the smart card product.
Revenue reporting, online Card tracking and system wide blocking, Account
Management, and global system control are only some of the highlights of the
operational side of the Authority; all implemented using the same modular structure and
design of the system components all over the entire system network.

2.3.1
Backoffice and Software
Backoffice hardware
FareGo Data Hardware Maintenance and workstation hardware maintenance are/is
not covered under this Agreement. All hardware related administrative tasks (including analysis of hardware failures, such as checks of disk space and database table
space) will be the responsibility of the Customer.
FareGo Data and workstations may be bought by the Customer from
a) the Supplier or
b) a third party supplier
If FareGo Data or workstations are bought by the Customer from the Supplier, a
dedicated document on Hardware Service Levels will be issued with this equipment
Fare collection
systems
which is a back to back hardware agreement with a third party supplier of these systems.
The Hardware Service Level documents will include all necessary information with
regard to reaction times, response times and resolution of errors. Furthermore, the
Hardware Service Level document will have its own clauses with regard to duration
and termination which is not necessarily bound to this SLA.
If FareGo Data or workstations are bought by the Customer from a third party supplier (and therefore not from the Supplier) then the Customer is fully responsible for
the Hardware maintenance.
2.3.2
Back Office and Software (Self-Managed)
The general responsibilities of the Customer are as follows:
o FareGo Data Operating System Administration for all Back Office servers like Authorisation Server, Application Server or Database Server

Back Office and Workstations.

Provision of a permanent site-to-site VPN connection so that the Supplier will
have full access to the Customer’s FareGo Data and to the connected devices
in the network. The use of a broadband connection is mandatory. The software to be used for remote connections is Microsoft RDP or PC Anywhere.
Supplier will remotely connect to the FareGo Data system and use FareGo
Data functions for the maintenance of Supplied Equipment. To avoid misunderstandings no PC Anywhere connection will be used to connect to the Supplied Equipment. The Customer will provide the Supplier with required LOGfiles and system information if the VPN connection should fail.

Maintenance of the data communications circuits that operate between the
Authorisation server and the credit card acquirer’s systems.

Unless Third Party Software is explicitly provided with appropriate maintenance by Supplier, Customer shall ensure that Third Party Software is properly maintained. In particular Oracle software maintenance is provided by
Supplier for maximum one year if requested; Customer shall contact Oracle
for a maintenance extension from year 2 onwards.

Unless explicitly provided by Supplier, provisioning of a Oracle database license that supports partitioning for database and archive servers.
Fare collection
systems

Out of Scope Work
For the purpose of this Agreement, ‘Out of Scope Work’ is defined as any Services or
Works not covered under this Service Level Agreement and includes occurrence of
any of the situations described below. ‘Out of Scope Work’ is subject to the Change
Control Procedure:
a) Relocation of devices, including removal, transportation and reinstallation of the devices at the new location.
b) Obsolescence of components supplied by the Supplier’s SubContractors: In the event that any component that is purchased by the
Supplier from its Sub-Contractors (e.g. hard disk, LCD, Screen, support of Third Party Software) becomes obsolete during the term of the
Contract, the Supplier shall identify a compatible replacement solution.
The replacement solution shall represent the most cost effective approach that retains the overall functionality of the affected item. Therefore, the replacement solution may not be an exact one-to-one replacement of the original component. If these non-availability circumstances occur, the Supplier shall submit to the Customer via the
Change Control procedure the rationale and details of the replacement
solution complete with any changes to the Charges, either positive or
negative, relative to the original component.
c) Extraordinary price changes to components supplied to the Supplier by
their Sub-Contractors: In the event that purchasing prices for any SubContracted components (e.g. hard disk, LCD, Screen, support of Third
Party Software) change significantly (in excess of 15% either up or
down), during the term of the Contract then the Supplier shall evaluate
whether the price change or a replacement solution will be the most
cost effective approach. In the event that a replacement is required the
solution shall retain the overall functionality of the affected item and
may or may not be an exact one-to-one replacement of the originally
delivered component. If these significant price change circumstances
occur, the Supplier shall submit to the Customer via the Change Control Procedure, the rationale and details of the change to the Charges,
either positive or negative. The Supplier shall provide sufficient information regarding its changes in cost (not just price) to demonstrate to
the Customer that any price increase is justified.
d) Changes required due to statutory requirements/ regulations: In the
event that a change is required due to statutory requirements or regulations from banks or other authorities, and such change requires the
Supplier to incur additional expenditure in the performance of the Services under this Service Level Agreement, a change under the Change
Control Procedure shall be implemented.
e) Changes required due to vandalism: In the event that extra work is required due to vandalism that requires the Supplier to incur additional
expenditure in the performance of the Services (including parts that
Fare collection
systems
need repair or exchange) under this Service Level Agreement, the
Supplier shall have the right to charge this extra work to the Customer.
f) Software Updates requested by the Customer in excess of the Software Updates limit in this SLA.
g) Work required as a result of the Customer’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
h) Upgrades and 3rd Party Upgrades are not part of the managed services
and will be handled through a change control procedure. For the
avoidance of doubt changes of the database system (e.g. from Oracle
9i to Oracle 10g) are not part of the managed service as they are Upgrades.
For the avoidance of doubt, none of the provisions of this paragraph describing ‘Out
of Scope Work’ release the Supplier from its obligation to maintain the Standard of
Performance required by the Service Level Agreement. This paragraph simply sets
out those changes for which the Change Control procedure must be applied in order
to effect changes necessary to maintain the Standard of Performance.
Fare collection

4
Assumptions and Exclusions1
For the avoidance of doubt, Upgrades and functional enhancements (whether for
Supplier Software or Third Party Software) are not part of the Maintenance Service
and will be handled through the Change Control Procedure if required by the Customer or deemed necessary by the Supplier.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Supplier’s Help Desk may be called only by Customer’s staff. The Supplier will under no circumstances provide support directly to
End Users.
The Supplier shall have no obligation to provide Services in the event of any Defect
or damage which arises or develops as a result of any:

Normal wear and tear, maintenance or modifications to the Supplied
Equipment or Software performed by the Customer or its contractors
(other than the Supplier or its employees, agents or sub-contractors)
other than in accordance with the Operating Manuals; or failure of any
of these parties to protect data in accordance with the Operating
Manuals;

alteration to the works, Supplied Equipment or Software made by the
Customer or any negligent act or omission of the Customer or any of
their employees, agents or sub-contractors (other than the Supplier or
a Sub-Contractor);

Design, material, software or interface furnished by the Customer or a
3rd party;

Viruses brought into the Customer’s system by interfaces or data carriers that are not under the Supplier’s control;

Force Majeure Events, misuse of the Supplied Equipment or Software,
vandalism or damages caused by any party other than the Supplier.

defect or damage beyond the Suppliers sole and exclusive control or
solely and exclusively caused by the Supplier

Combination of Software or Machines with hardware or software not
provided by or approved by the Supplier;
1
This Service Level Agreement is provided under the general assumption that it will be appended to a
contract with mutually agreed terms and conditions, including limitation of Supplier’s liability (with exclusions of liability for consequential or indirect damage, and loss of revenue and profit and reasonable limitation of liability for direct damage), payment and invoicing procedures, price adjustment and
taxes, term and termination of contract, change control and dispute resolution procedure and a force
majeure clause
Fare collection
systems
4.1
Assumptions and Exclusions related to virus protection
The Supplier shall perform all tasks as agreed in this SLA related to virus protection
in order to protect all Supplied Equipment of the AFC from Software viruses as far as
possible. However, The warranty for third party software or hardware delivered or
used in connection with the Supplied Equipment is limited to that provided by such
third parties. That implies:

For the avoidance of doubt, the Supplier will under no circumstances
whatsoever be responsible for the capability of third party software to
detect, delete, destroy or otherwise eliminate viruses.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Supplier will under no circumstances
whatsoever be responsible for the capability of the third party software
to resolve defects in the patches or the capability of the Customer
network to transport the respective patches.

Failures or malfunctions of third party software cannot always be remedied. In this context the Customer acknowledges that Supplier or its
affiliates will under no circumstances whatsoever be liable for any
damages (indirect, consequential or direct) caused by the third party
software, for the avoidance of doubt, including but not limited to
-
failures or malfunctions in deleting, destroying or otherwise
eliminating viruses,
-
any other failures, defects or malfunctions of one single machine or the whole system.
Any work needed to delete, destroy or eliminate a virus, which has not been deleted,
destroyed or eliminated automatically by the third party software will be charged separately.

1.1
Why Software Maintenance?
The stability of the software in fare collection systems is extremely important for the
availability of the complete system and the acceptance of your customers. Further on
you as an operator need a stable tool with high availability for your daily processes
such as transfer of sales data, reporting or tariff maintenance. In this context it needs
also to be considered that the software for a fare collection system consists of different software components from different suppliers (Scheidt & Bachmann, Microsoft,
Oracle, etc.). The software maintenance from S&B considers all this and with this
service S&B can offer you:
1.2
1.2.1

A stable system with high availability of the devices and the back office
system.

Simple cost planning

Up-to-date status of the software version which means smoother offering and implementing of upgrades of the software
Scope of Software Maintenance
Introduction
The Supplier shall provide Software Maintenance Services as described in this Appendix (“Software Maintenance”). Software Maintenance ensures that the Software
of the AFC is always up-to-date and Software Defects are corrected properly. Software Maintenance is applicable to Field Devices as well as to the Back Office System.
Via the Supplier’s Help Desk as further detailed in chapter 2 in the main SLA document the Customer may notify the Supplier of any issues concerning the Software.
The Supplier will log such issues as Software Issue Reports and the issues will be
classified and solved as follows:
Software Issue

Fare collection
systems
1.2.2
Software Updates and Patches
Software Defects are solved with Updates or Patches. The general procedure is to
solve the Defects with planned Updates but Patches will be delivered between the
planned Updates, if necessary, for Critical Failures as mutually agreed.
1.2.2.1
Updates
Software Issue Reports that are classified as Software Defects shall be recorded,
investigated and corrected by the Supplier in batches. Software corrections arising
from each batch shall (as far as reasonably possible) be issued by the Supplier in the
form of a single software Update to be applied to all of the Customer’s devices.
The Update is based on the latest applicable release from the Supplier and may also
include enhancements as determined by the Supplier.
The Supplier shall deliver an Update every other per year.
The Supplier will test the Update before providing it to the Customer (please refer
also to chapter 1.2.7), these tests and necessary test equipment, as seen needed by
the Supplier, is included in the offered price.
The planning of the Updates shall be mutually agreed. The Supplier will implement
the Update on the CSS. For the Field Devices the Supplier will make the Update
available for the Customer and the Customer will follow the procedures as defined in
1.2.8 for the rollout.
Apart from the applicable software the Supplier will provide the following with the Update:

Release Documentation describing the content of the Update

Installation Procedure

Test Results.
The Supplier recognises that at any one time the version of Software installed may
be different across the whole fleet of devices. In this context the Supplier accepts its
obligation to maintain and support the Supplied Equipment pursuant to this SLA.
1.2.2.2
Patches
If necessary to resolve Critical Failures in the Supplier’s Software the Supplier shall
deliver Software patches between the scheduled Updates. The scheduling for these
patches will be mutually agreed.
1.2.3
Software Configuration Changes
Software Issue Reports that are classified as Software Configuration Changes shall
be implemented on dates and times that are mutually agreed. The Supplier will provide Software Configuration Changes in less than 29 days measured from Report
Time.
Page 4 / 7
Fare collection
systems
The Customer shall be entitled to request up to two (2) Software Configuration
Changes per year at no additional charge.
1.2.4
Data Maintenance
Both Parties recognise that the correct operation of the Supplied Equipment depends
upon the accuracy of data processed by the Software, including but not limited to the
tariffs maintained in the system.
The Supplier’s Back Office System allows a wide range of tariff changes guided by
the graphical user interface, including for example

Changes of prices of existing articles

Introduction of a new article that has the same structure as an existing
article
More details can be found in the Back Office documentation. These changes may be
done by the Customer or by the Supplier.
In other cases, a tariff change might impact not only the configuration of the AFC but
also the program code, depending on the nature of the change. Examples are:

Introduction of a totally new type of article

Change to the tariff database of the CSS or the Supplied Equipment

Changes and/or enhancement of functionalities with regard to tariff or
tariff maintenance (which are upgrades)

Changes to screens or screen flows
These changes must be done by the Supplier.
The nature of a change may depend on the type of change as well as on the existing
tariff and application structure and must be analysed case by case. The effort for
such changes may vary widely. Therefore, tariff and data maintenance is separated
from this SLA. Any changes to the tariffs or tariff system that the Supplier is requested to provide will be processed via the Change Control Procedure. One solution
is to define a budget for Data Maintenance that can be ordered via the Change Control Procedure.
The Customer is responsible for installing tariff changes that it has made to test
equipment. The distribution of such changes to the Field Devices is the Supplier’s
responsibility as part of the Scheidt & Bachmann Software Rollout Service.
1.2.5
Changes to the Software scope
If additional software modules are integrated into the Back Office System, the
maintenance obligation for such additional modules shall be added to this SLA
through the Change Control Procedure.
Page 5 / 7
Fare collection
systems
1.2.6
Upgrades
1.2.6.1
General
Software Issue Reports that are classified as Software Enhancements (Supplier
Software or 3rd Party) will be delivered as Upgrades and progressed under the
Change Control Procedures and are not covered by this SLA..
1.2.7
Testing
Supplier and Customer will agree to a set of test cases that will be used to verify the
Updates. These test cases will be defined in writing and will be approved by Customer and Supplier as the test cases to be used where test will only and exclusively incorporate the given set of test cases.
The set of test cases will be updated before a new test begins and shall be mutually
agreed between Supplier and Customer.
Supplier and Customer will always use the exact same test cases.
Supplier and Customer will make sure that the software on their respective test systems equals the live system as far as possible. No test shall be allowed that is applied to a test system that is already under another test.
Due to the nature of a Patch the test cases used to test the Patch will be agreed on a
case by case basis. Typically they are a subset of the set of test cases already defined with one or more additional test cases needed to verify the Patch.
Due to the nature of an Upgrade the test cases used to test the Upgrade are created
with the specification of the Upgrade.
1.2.8
Procedure to install changes to the live system
Changes to the live system can be incurred by installing Patches, Updates and/or
Upgrades.
The initial step will be performed by the Supplier: Updating/Upgrading the CSS with
the software release for the Field Devices. The Update/Upgrade of the software is
performed by Supplier’s staff via remote access. In this step the software for the Field
Devices is installed on the servers as a preparation for download.
The installation of software on the field devices is the responsibility of the Customer.
The following procedure is agreed unless an exception is mutually agreed upon in
writing:

Scheduling of software rollout and submittal of rollout plan to Supplier
prior to installation for information

The Update/Upgrade of the Field Devices is performed by Customer’s
staff using functionality of the CSS (Download). A similar procedure applies to the distribution of tariffs to the field devices. In order to minimize
the risk for the operation the updates/upgrades/tariffs are installed step
by step and in the order listed below:
-
Test device
Page 6 / 7
Fare collection
systems
-
One Field Device
-
Next 5 Field Devices
-
Next 30 Field Devices
-
Rest of the Field Devices (in further steps for more than 100 devices)
Each step requires an evaluation phase in order to proceed with the next step. A recommendation for this evaluation phase is one week.
The Customer checks the download

cease except that (i) Licensee shall remain
obligated to make any payment due or to
become due under this Agreement;
(ii) Licensee’ obligations under Section
12(b) shall continue and survive such
termination; and (iii) the provisions of

license shall not limit either party from
pursuing any other remedies available to it,
including injunctive relief.
Licensee shall secure and protect the
Licensor Proprietary Information and
any and all copies thereof in its

LIBC/4295358.5
Entire Agreement.
This Agreement
contains the entire understanding of the
parties about the license terms of the

replaces all prior or contemporaneous
understandings or agreements, written or
oral, regarding such subject matter, and
prevails over any conflicting terms or
this Agreement without Licensor’s consent
shall be null and void.
conditions contained on printed forms
submitted with purchase orders, sales
acknowledgments or quotations.
(b)
Amendment. This Agreement may not be
amended or modified, in whole or part,
except by a writing signed by duly
authorized representative of both parties.
(c)
Waivers. No provision or part of this
Agreement or remedy hereunder may be
waived except by a writing signed by a
duly authorized representative of the party
making the waiver. Any such waiver shall
be narrowly construed to apply only to the
specific provision and under the specific
circumstances for which it was given, and
shall not apply with respect to any
repeated or continued violation of the same
provision or any other provision. Failure
or delay by either party to enforce any
provision of this Agreement will not be
deemed a waiver of future enforcement of
that or any other provision.
(d)
Relationship of Parties. Nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed to place
Licensor and Licensee in an agency,
employment, franchise, joint venture, or
partnership relationship. Neither party will
have the authority to obligate or bind the
other in any manner, and nothing herein
contained shall give rise or is intended to
give rise to any rights of any kind to any
third parties. Neither party will represent
to the contrary, either expressly, implicitly
or otherwise.
(e)
Assignment; Change of Control. Licensee
may not assign this Agreement, or
sublicense, transfer, sell, assign, or
distribute any of the rights granted herein,
in whole or in part, without the prior
written consent of Licensor, which consent
may be withheld at the sole discretion of
Licensor. For purposes of the foregoing, a
Change of Control with respect to
Licensee shall be deemed to be an
assignment, and shall give rise to
Licensor’s right to terminate this
Agreement under Section 13(b).
Any
attempt by Licensee to assign or transfer
any of the rights, duties or obligations of
9
LIBC/4295358.5
(f)
Severability.
In the event that any
provision of this Agreement is found to be
unenforceable, such provision will be
reformed only to the extent necessary to
make it enforceable, and such provision as
so reformed will continue in effect, to the
extent consistent with the intent of the
parties as of the Effective Date. If any
provision or part of this Agreement will, to
any extent, be or become invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the remainder of this
Agreement will continue in effect, and
every other provision of this Agreement
will remain valid and enforceable to the
full extent permitted by applicable law. In
such event, the invalid or unenforceable
provision shall be reformed only to the
extent necessary to make it enforceable,
and such provision as so reformed will
continue in effect, to the extent consistent
with the intent of the parties as of the
Effective Date.
(g)
Remedies. The remedies provided herein
are cumulative, and may be exercised
either successively or concurrently. The
parties acknowledge that any breach of the
conditions and restrictions contained in
this Agreement may cause irreparable
harm to a party, and/or third parties, and
that monetary damages would not be
adequate protection in certain cases. It is
therefore agreed that any party affected by
any such breach may seek injunctive or
other equitable relief, as appropriate, from
a court in the event of such breach.
(h)
Force Majeure. Neither party shall be
liable to the other party for failure or delay
in performance of any obligation under
this Agreement, directly or indirectly,
owing to war, acts of terrorism, natural
disasters, embargoes, riots, strikes, and
other events beyond its control. In the
event that such failure or delay occurs, the
affected party shall notify as soon as
possible the other party of the occurrence
thereof, and the parties shall negotiate in
good faith a fair resolution to the failure or
delay in performance.
(i)
Notices. All notices under or related to
this Agreement will be in writing and will
reference this Agreement. Notices will be
deemed
given
when:
(i) delivered
personally; (ii) sent by confirmed telecopy
or other electronic means; (iii) three (3)
days after having been sent by registered
or certified mail, return receipt requested,
postage prepaid; or (iv) one (1) day after
deposit with a commercial overnight
carrier, with written verification of receipt.
All communications will be sent to the
addresses set forth on the Cover Page or
such other addresses designated pursuant
to this Section 14(i).
(j)
Governing Law. This Agreement is made
under and will be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
without regard to its conflict of laws
principles, and specifically excluding from
application to this Agreement the United
Nations Convention on the International
Sale of Goods.
(k)
Jurisdiction. Any legal proceedings under
or related to this Agreement shall be
subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
state and federal courts located in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Each
party submits to the personal jurisdiction
of, and waives any objection against
jurisdiction by, such courts.
(l)
Counterparts. This Agreement may be
executed in two or more counterparts, each
of which will be deemed an original, but
all of which will constitute but one and the
same instrument.

The overall project status figure is the sum of the number of stars of the individual stati (Milestones,
Project Budget, and Customer satisfaction. Every project with an Overall project status figure below 7 is
deemed to be critical.
3-6 = red

Critical Status Activity:
In case one of the sub items (Milestones, Project Budget, or Customer satisfaction) represents a Red
status as per definition above or the overall status is below 7, the PM has to escalate the situation
proactively. Therefore a meeting request to the project assurance or, if not established, to the head of PM
/head of technical PM or Operations manager has to be issued. In preparation for the meeting, the
following information has to be provided in writing by the PM upfront:
- Reason for RED Status (brief write up)
- Impact to Milestone
- Impact to Financials
- Impact to customer relation
- Impact to other major contractual regulations (e.g. LD’S, Warranty, Acceptance)
