The objective of this project is to develop a prototype system by
using a front end read only approach incorporated with
non-proprietary commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components.
The idea is to use the mobile phone as a communication device
and as well as to validate ticket information on the smartcard
through a backend sever using the short text message
sent by mobile phones. It provides us with physical measurements
of time delays and possible bottle necks of the operations.
Also, the system can provide coalition members with a generic
approach for a read only process system and
determine what the feasibly practical onboard ticket sale processes are accordingly.
