Rail Ticketing | Are you wondering how the future of European rail ticketing looks? Sweden has launched OSDM as the standard for its national ticket distribution. 🚆 Open Sales and Distribution Model, #OSDM for short, is a rail sector initiative aimed at simplifying and improving the booking process for customers of public transport trips and to lower complexity and distribution costs for retailers, distributors and carriers. ✅ The use case in Sweden shows that the initiative can be used in addition to other standards. From the rail perspective, OSDM represents both a vision and now a reality of #RailTicketing, that is more future-proof than the current situation and will benefit both operators and passengers. 📱 As it is crucial that the information available to both the retailer and passenger is not unduly limited by the technical and functional requirements set out in any specification, OSDM has been developed together with ticket vendors in full transparency with the European Union Agency for Railways. 🗺 Its implementation is ongoing, with six European Railway Undertakings to implement it by the end of this year and many more planning to deploy in 2025 #CERTicketingRoadmap #UICrail Director General François DAVENNE said: “We extend our congratulations and gratitude to the entire Samtrafiken team for this achievement. The launch of OSDM is the proof that such collaborative solutions, created by the sector - which means tailored to the business and customer needs, are designed to be multimodal and open for all players in passenger mobility. This approach represents a significant response to the global challenges of sustainable mobility and modal shift at worldwide level”. *The EU-level Technical Specification for Interoperability (TSI) on Telematic Applications is currently under revision.

#FimeBlog │ Around the world, numerous cities have implemented complex digital ticketing systems to increase the efficiency of growing transportation networks. 🚉 However, the diversity of ticketing frameworks between different cities implies there has been no universal ticketing approach that has met the needs of all networks. 📝 In the first blog in our unified ticketing series, we will focus on the key considerations for networks when creating a frictionless transport ticketing offer that meets the needs of their passengers.

OSDM is the flagship solution of the Roadmap, which enables and enhances many of its actions such as the CIT Agreement on Journey Continuation.

This week our Director Sales Experience and Excellence, Sören Borch, discussed the topic of digitization at the Gate Future conference, organized by GATE - The Airport Technology Network. Together with other stakeholders operating within the airport ecosystem, the panelists discussed opportunities and challenges that come with further digitization of the traveler journey and processes at airports in general. All panelists agreed that collaboration will be key to get the most out of it for all parties involved – especially when it comes to sharing data and technology. Further, it became clear that the degree of digitization will differ within certain areas of the airports. “We as a retailer do implement new technologies and digitize process wherever we think it is an improvement for the traveler. But we also made the experience that travelers need assistance in understanding new technologies installed in shops. And many are especially looking for the personal exchange with our staff. Therefore, for us it is physically first – but always digitally influenced”, comments Sören Borch.   #gate #future #heinemann #travelretail #technology #digitzation #travelerjourney

Catching the suburban train 🚊 to the city, then the bus 🚍 to the next town, and an e-scooter 🛴 to the doorstep - that's what connected travel looks like. However, for this to work, reliable passenger information aligned with connecting services is essential. In our latest article, we explain all about the S-Bahn Munich, which recently unveiled its modern trains with comprehensive information technology. It's also exciting to see how a big decision by the German Federal Cartel Office will affect online travel planning and ticketing. ❗ Want to know more?
