scope:

The aim of CWA 14838-1:2003 is to provide an overview of the context in which smart card based e-ticketing schemes are introduced and provide guidance on key requirements for the introduction and operation of such schemes. The European Union has published a series of papers, in the form of directives, communications, recommendations and official surveys, that are relevant to the introduction of such schemes and need to be understood by those involved in decisionmaking in the ares of electronic ticketing scheme development. Hence this document commences with a survey of EU documentation.
