The 4186 Xerox ticketing system developed for the Envibus operator in Sophia-Antipolis, France, had to meet stringent standards for data integrity, traceability and transaction security.

In partnership with the operator’s teams, Xerox configured the Atlas system, with automated processes to eliminate any possibility of fraud or error in entering data, particularly with respect to information fed back from the equipment. The system stores data in concentrators and performs integrity checks at each level.  It also has advanced search tools developed by Xerox to enable operators to identify transaction and payment details for individual tickets.

The fares collected by Envibus for operating the network go into the local authority’s budget. "We are handling public money directly so it is only logical that the departmental office of public finances should want to make sure that our accounts are sound", explains network manager Julie Réti.

Jo Versavel starts by making one thing clear: long-term forecasts as to what the future holds for video-based traffic monitoring are to all intents and purposes meaningless. The state of the art is developing so fast that in reality it's impossible to say where we'll be in 10 years' time, says the Managing Director of Traficon. In his opinion making firm predictions even five years out is too ambitious, whereas
