ATM: Metropolitan Transport
Authority
Metropolitan Region
of Barcelona (RMB):
164 municipalities and
4.8 million inhabitants
ATM is an inter-administrative
consortium whose aim is the
coordination of public transport in
the
Metropolitan
Region
of
Barcelona

3.- Main ITS projects
Multi-fleet AVM (Authomatic vehicle monitoring)
Ticketing integration
These projects are in constant evolution, from different points of view,
They are listed in the master plan for mobility (PdM), -regional scope- of ATM.
(www.atm.cat)
The PdM is to be an instrument to ensure the coordinated development of
management strategies of mobility, and proposes a model of sustainable
mobility with a cross-discipline that integrates the various disciplines that work
on mobility, with the aim of ensuring basic accessibility to all people and help
providing equal opportunities to all citizens.
4.- Multi-feet AVM system:
Main aspects
To gain efficiency in managing the fleets by the companies and thus promote
more integrated passenger information at the metropolitan area, the steps
done are:
Intermodality
Multi-fleet system
Information on
Internet
Bus-stop panels
Resources integral
management
Localization
through GPS
communications
Since 2001, deployed a multi-fleet AVM (Automatic
Vehicle Monitoring) system for the 20+ private medium bus
operators active in the area, “filling-the-gap” by enabling
smaller operators to acquire and operate systems in an
integrated manner.
Processing information from the AVM and other
information sources and emitting passenger information on
displays inside the buses and others at certain stops.
Integrating information about the location and arrival
times of buses from this system and the rest that bigger or
other fleets of the metropolitan region are managing
Goals achieved
The implementation of a MULTIFLEET AVM System generates several
advantages for the unified system of public transport:
Enables each operator to use the avm system to track its own vehicles as
it was a standalone system, with a central platform supplied by ATM with no
limitation of buses/companies/geographical area.
Efficient management of global information stalls, upgrades of the system.
Synergies.
Transport information based upon WEB-SERVICE technology. Common
and global specification.
There has been a conceptual split between the providers of information and
the integrators (publishers) of information in order to facilitate independence
of technology of media.

5.- Ticket integration:
Main aspects

Ticketing integration: deployed in 2001, all operators involved (urban,
interurban, multi-modal).

935M of travels (2008). 253 municipalities

All transport tickets form part of the system. ATM is responsible for pricing
and manages the Compensation Chamber (excluded social or free ones) .

Transport tickets valid for all modes and all operators within their
geographical validation area.

Price according to frequency and duration of journey, in a zone-based
system.

Ticket validation: transfers are not penalized.
Goals achieved

Awareness of the citizens of the existence of a single fare system independently
of the operator, route or territorial area. Creation of a single image of transport

Absolutely no economic penalization for transfers.

Economic price equivalence between rail and bus and transport of public and
private companies.

There is a clearing system made monthly by means of the data of the validations
of the tickets and revenues from sales (operators and others) of the whole multimodal transport system.

Detailed information suitable for planning of transport

6.- RFID/Contactless system
“en train de…”
Migration of the current magnetic technology to a
RFID/contactless system is a must
Project in definition study, migration of actual magnetic ticketing
system and in concordance with further global requirements
drawn by the regional Goverment for ATM of Barcelona and the
rest of administrations present in the scope.
Deployment envisaged by 2012.
Overall future scenario (to be
implemented in stages)

Public

(own titles

Coexistence
Multi-purpose
services card
(Citizen card)
The technology opens a variety of possibilities. The ATM project, (which uses
the same technology and philosophy as Madrid’s project) by means of the
deployment of the public transport application and the security schema, is
being designed to make available the interoperability with the public transport
of other areas and the coexistence of other services in the card ... (with
preference if related to mobility)
... always in a basis of open –standards- compliant protocols
7.- ITS Challenges from the point
of view of ATM and EMTA (i)
There is an urgent need for clarification and for raising awareness among decision makers
about the objectives that should be pursued from a Transport Authority point o view in an
EC scope conext.
There is a needed EC support to ensure compatibility of systems avoiding to discard
existing infrastructure each time there is an upgrade of some sort (new services added or
geographical scope of usability from local to international and so on...) putting and end to
the situation actually driven by technology providers (by industry sector) who too frequently
in preventing from any posible connection or compatibility between technologies ensure
their short term benefits on very closes markets.
There must be concern about drawing a best practices book, not only related to
technology but to which sholud be “the business model”: managing, organizing
procedures, legal scope, ...thus preserving citizens from undesired collateral effects.
7.- ITS Challenges from the point
of view of ATM and EMTA (ii)
The European Union should give the necessary support to the application of ITS in public
transport, in terms of granting STANDARDIZATION of interfaces and architectures now
that technology has reached a mature state
Projects’ financial efficiency, interoperability between different fare-based systems and
scalability, are some of the benefits. Before us, USA on one side and Asia on the other, are
some examples of what should be avoided in Europe in terms of global concepts:
Some reasons why:

Right to anonymity and security of personal data

Right to prevent ticketing from payment from “ taxes coming from
outside the Transport System”, i.e. commissions to banks and / or
telecommunication operators, etc, too frequently not rightly
known….
