Call for tenders for the procurement of services in the area of the introduction of a network-wide, IDBT-based check-in/check-out system. The goal is a barrier-free and intuitive access to public transport for all passenger groups - regardless of smartphone ownership, language skills or detailed tariff knowledge. Passengers will be able to check in and out using common payment methods (Giro or credit card, RVV prepaid card as well as Apple Pay / Google Pay). In the background, an automatic best price statement (e.g. daily cover) is made so that the passenger can no longer choose a "wrong" fare. The subject of the award is the above-mentioned services as well as supplementary services, in particular: - central tariff data storage via an existing RVV-PKM tariff calculator to which the CiCo background system must be connected - Processing of check-in/check-out events and calculation of fares - Mapping of payment processes in cooperation with a transit PSP and an acquirer - Provision of data for revenue allocation and controlling - Ticket checking of UIC barcodes - VDV-KA-compliant ticket checking incl. action list management and block list retrieval - record the check-in/check-out processes and in the first phase also enable ticket sales with limited ticket selection, - process EMV contactless cards and mobile wallets, - read and check UIC and VDV-KA media including action list management and block list retrieval - via IBIS/ITCS or - if alternatively possible - via autonomous communication channels (e.g. GPS-based location). In addition, portable (transportable) validators for e.g. OnDemand traffic or replacement buses are to be used. Stationary validators are a central component for the integration of the SPNV and the railway stops. In principle, five implementation variants are considered: - In version 1, the stationary validator is attached to the stationary ticket machine via an angle column made of brushed stainless steel. The column must be provided by the tenderer, must be designed to be vandal-proof and the installation and commissioning of the validator is carried out by the tenderer - in version 2, the validator is mounted on existing devaluator columns of the AG, for which the tenderer must provide a suitable fastening or adapter solution - in version 3, the stationary validator is to be carried out as a self-sufficient unit with solar panel and battery storage and fixed by means of a (painted) steel or stainless steel column. Alternatively, a fastening to existing lighting masts or comparable infrastructures must be provided - In version 4, the stationary validator with power supply is implemented via the existing power grid of the DB infrastructure. The fastening is carried out via a floor-mounted (painted) steel or stainless steel column, while the electrical connection, including 50-hertz testing, is carried out by the AG - in version 5, the stationary validator is installed as a wall mounting on municipal buildings. The power supply is provided via a grid power connection of the respective building, which is provided by the AG in coordination with the respective municipality. The AN shall provide a suitable vandal-proof wall bracket and a compact installation box (transformer/power supply). A central goal of the project is the creation of an interoperable and sustainable system that can be gradually expanded. The CiCo system should be explicitly understood as a "breathing system" that can accommodate new validators from different manufacturers, other transport companies, additional breakpoints and future tariff or product developments without the need for fundamental system changes. In particular, the following principles are relevant for this purpose: - Manufacturer-independence of terminal equipment: The system architecture should provide that different validator manufacturers can be integrated. - Use of a transit PSP with interoperability function with other transit PSPs: The payment and event data will be processed via a transit PSP in such a way that several gateways, acquirers or additional card products can be added in the future. - Standardized interfaces: Open, documented and standard-compliant interfaces (e.g. to ITCS/IBIS, tariff system, VDV-KA components) are mandatory. - Scalability and multi-tenancy: The solution should be designed in such a way that additional transport companies, new line bundles and additional tariff spaces can be integrated. - Future security: The system will be able to accommodate technological developments (e.g. new card technologies, additional digital media) as well as a change of transit payment service provider. The validators of the Krauth company already used in the buses of Stadtwerk Mobilität and the closed-loop RVV prepaid card based on the EMC standard are to be integrated into the system. The rollout will take place in three phases. In the first phase, the SPNV stops as well as the buses in the district of Straubing-Bogen, district of Schwandorf and the city of Straubing will be equipped with validators with a fixed product selection and put into operation. In the second phase, the remaining SPNV stops and buses in the district of Regensburg will be equipped with validators without them being put into operation. In phase 3, all validators in the entire network area with check-in/check-out functionality are put into operation or switched to it.
