Dutch City Card
A number of Dutch cities are considering the feasibility of the introduction of a smart card for residents, to be used for a wide range of public services such as library, public swimming pool, and waste deposit centres. The card may also host commercial applications, e.g. loyalty schemes. A personalized web interface would enable the holder to activate only the applications of his personal interest.
Rapp Trans provided business case modeling and advice on functional and technical specifications.

E-ticketing
Financed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, Rapp Trans NL leads a consortium to design and procure an electronic ticketing system for public transport in a larger Eastern European city. The system involves local government and a number of private and semi-private public transport operators.
The scope of work includes the fare system and system concept design, advise on the most suitable organization model and procurement strategy as well as a specification of the systems/services to be procured. In a second phase, Rapp Trans NL is to assist in the tendering process and the implementation of the system.

Coach Pass in Paris - PassAutocar
The City of Paris wished to regain control over the management of parking by tourist coaches in the centre of Paris. The system operates 24/7 and administers the parking of more than 450 coaches a day at 12 sites since 2003.
Rapp Trans' associated office in Paris was entrusted with the design, the development and the operations of the central ticketing system, access control and accounting systems of this public service for the reserved on- and off-street coach parking spaces managed by concessionaries and the municipality. Smart cards are used for identifying monthly subscribers.

Electronic Vehicle Identification in Finland
The Finnish Vehicle Administration (AKE) commissioned Rapp Trans in partnership to evaluate AKE's role and the need to develop electronic vehicle identification (EVI) in Finland.
The study evaluated several EVI-pilots in Europe, the emerging technology of RFID as well as the current progress of European standardisation. The result of the study was that there is, from the traffic and traffic enforcement perspective, little incentive to actively promote or implement EVI in Finland. However, the international development of RFID technology and its use for EVI should be followed for possible future applications.

On-Street Parking Management in Switzerland
Basel, as a centre of a tri-national agglomeration with half a million inhabitants, pursues a restrictive private and commercial vehicle parking space policy for the whole urban area.
Rapp Trans was commissioned to develop the service concept, based on the adopted parking policy, for the management of the 30,000 parking slots for residents, business, commuters and visitors. The study also includes the elaboration of technology options, including RFID-based parking permits, and the assessment of the operational registration and enforcement processes. The study will form the basis for the subsequent implementation of the on-street parking management scheme.
