Customer: European Committee of Standardization (CEN)

Duration: November 2001 – August 2003

The FASTEST Workshop was set up in June 2001 by members of Trailblazer 9 (Public Transport) off the e-Europe Smart Card Charter, as a mechanism for achieving two of the Trailblazer’s objectives:
a) producing guidelines that support customers’ ease of use of ICT services and develop a consistency of user experience with the smart card as an access token in European public transport and across other associated economic sectors such as parking, road user charging, leisure, sports and culture.
b) producing tools that can assist public transport authorities and mobility companies in adopting the concept of interoperability between smart card based products and systems in support of seamless travel.
The Workshop’s primary purpose is to produce documents that can serve as practical tools for the drafting of electronic ticketing specifications and European procurement. To this end the Workshop will publish a CEN Workshop Agreement (CWA) by May 2003 containing the following principal parts:
• Part 1: EU Policy and User Requirements
• Part 2: Development of an Interoperable e-Ticketing System
• Part 3: Catalogue of Technical and Business Process Requirements
