It is being issued in the Draft for Development series of publications and is of a provisional nature because the level of innovation on this subject is currently high. It should be applied on this provisional basis, so that information and experience of its practical application may be obtained. Comments arising from the use of this Draft for Development are requested so that UK experience can be reported to the European organization responsible for its conversion into a European Standard. A review of this publication will be initiated 2 years after its publication by the European organization so that a decision can be taken on its status at the end of its three-year life. The commencement of the review period will be notified by an announcement in Update Standards. According to the replies received by the end of the review period, the responsible BSI Committee will decide whether to support the conversion into a European Standard, to extend the life of the prestandard or to withdraw it. Comments should be sent in writing to the Secretary of BSI Technical Committee EPL/278, Road transport informatics, at 389 Chiswick High Road, London W4 4AL, giving the document reference and clause number and proposing, where possible, an appropriate revision of the text.

It specifies: location, dimensions, display and keypad characteristics, functions and data processing of this equipment. 2 Normative references EN 60529 Degrees of protection provided by enclosures (IP code) (IEC 529:1989) 3 Definitions 3.1 validator (generic name) a device which controls the access and usage rights, it is independent from any technology EXAMPLE: simple paper ticket, magnetic stripe reading, electronic smart card and contactless cards 4 Functions and general requirements 4.1 Functions Validation of the transport right resulting from the transportation contract between an operator and the user including proof of payment. This validation mainly consists in marking a card/ticket. The validation mark may consist in: 1. printing a readable mark or punching out a piece of ticket 2. and/or recording data on the backing for further automatic reading and recording inside the validator. The validation act shall allow (except for the paper ticket) to ensure the following recordings: 1. geographic and/or time validity 2. checking of the validity of the right of use 3. optionally user category According to the tariffs and to the types of tickets and cards, other functions may occur, such as countdown the payment of trips on a card, or countdown the payment of trips, or recording the origin of a trip etc. 4.2 General requirements The validator shall include: 1. Ticket reading or cancellation function 2. “Wrong presentation of the ticket” indication if applicable 3. Validity of tickets and right of use checking 4. Indication of ticket acceptance or rejection 5. Transaction processing (i.e. data recording) 6. Indication of defective operation of the validator 7. Recording function of the transactions and possibility of reading or dumping the recorded data 8. Updating of the parameters function 9. Diagnostic functions 10. Securing memory (battery back up, non volatile memory.) 11. Safe keeping data integrity. 5 Electric characteristics When an European standard exists for an on board transmission bus for road public transport vehicles and is implemented in the vehicle, then the validator shall be either directly connected to this bus or connected to this bus through a special control unit. When a European standard exists for Environmental and Electrical conditions and limits for Public Transport Road Vehicles, it shall apply. 6 Electrical connection It shall be possible to exchange the device without having to switch off the power supply. Fixing and electrical connection shall be made in a single operation. 7 Climatic characteristics When a European standard exists for Environmental and Electrical conditions and limits for Public Transport Road Vehicles, it shall apply. 8 Chemical characteristics When a European standard exists for Environmental and Electrical conditions and limits for Public Transport Road Vehicles, it shall apply. 9 Protection level A minimum IP 543 protection level according to EN 60529 shall apply (splashproof), except for the introduction zone of the ticket where IP 433 shall apply. 10 Vibration test When an European standard exists for Environmental and Electrical conditions and limits for Public Transport Road Vehicles, it shall apply.
