Modena, Italy’s Azienda Trasporti Collettivi e Mobilita S.p.A. (ATCM) recently awarded a $4.3 million contract to Cubic Transportation Systems Ltd. division Cubic Nordic to build, install and maintain a fare-collection and revenue management system designed to link rail and bus services to a common smart card.
Cubic will upgrade the agency’s magentic-based fare collection system, which the company installed in 1993.
Cubic also will install 35 smart-card validators on ATCM’s two train lines, enabling passengers to pay for rail or bus trips using a single smart card. Passengers will pay fares on a station platform before trains arrive instead of onboard trains.
In addition, Cubic will install its Nextfare™ Central System software, which is designed to manage all transaction-related information, including card types, prices, data formats, ticket layout and system parameters.
Cubic expects to begin a pilot of the smart-card system in March 2005 and fully operate the system in late 2005.
ATCM also awarded Cubic a five-year service contract extension, valued at $350,000 annually.
