Veolia Transport is a worldwide leader in passenger transportation and sustainable mobility, present in around 30 countries. It operates 37,162 road and rail vehicles, carrying more than 2.3 billion passengers per year. For their Rhônexpress project, they aimed at delivering a premium, top-quality service to their customers. Veolia wanted to offer a flexible ticketing service to the passenger, through on-board sales, unattended kiosk and Internet. Ingenico has been able to provide both terminals and transaction management solution to rapidly roll out a simple and secure payment solution.

Ingenico provided mobile iPA280 Payment-PDAs for use by on-board ticket officers and i9500 unattended terminals for self-service ticket kiosks, all interfaced with the Axis transaction management system. The innovative IPA280 Payment-PDA developed by Ingenico is a rugged PDA combined with a secure payment solution including amongst others contactless data capture. Ingenico and Amesys developed ticketing applications integrating the latest release of Calypso standard required by the transport industry.
