7. The overall transport volume in Europe increases year by year introduced by a growing and more mobile
population.
Especially the peaks of capacity utilization of the infrastructure in rush hours is a challenge – which shall
be addressed with more digitalization and process optimization; and not only additional concrete!
The implementation faces it’s challenges:
- Heterogenous requirements – small volumes
- Non-standardized vehicle architectures
- Massive approval effort for hardware and software
The resulting time-to-market, the costs and the current effort for maintenance (e.g. software updates) is
not at eye level comparing with other industries (e.g. the automation industry).

The Challenge of massive Digitalization in Public Transport
DIGITALIZATION IN PUBLIC TRANSPORT
https://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfs/de/home/statistiken/mobilitaet-verkehr.assetdetail.9146811.html
8. A centralized communication architecture, based on industry-standardized protocols, is a major
requirement to introduce the digitalization within reasonable costs and time-to-market.
The ITxPT organization enables interoperability between IT systems in Public Transport by specifying an
IP based onboard communication infrastructure.
NetModule is an incubator of IP technologies and it’s open network protocols for more than 20 years.
It is our mission to support customers with expertise and products towards an reliable digitalized
communication infrastructure!

9. 9DIGITALIZATION IN PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Vehicle Communication
Gateway (VCG)
A key component of the digitalization in Public
Transportation is the VCG which maintains the
vehicle to ground connection as a service for all
onboard units.
— The VCG routes data between all kind of
protocols and layers.
— ITxPT architecture proposes an IP backbone.
— Nevertheless: retro-fit installation consists still
of a various technologies and require massive
protocol conversion.

ITxPT – What it is
The Information Technology for Public Transport
organization enables interoperability between IT
systems in Public Transport.
COMPETITIVE THROUGH COMPLIANCE
ITxPT-compliant modules, even if provided by
different suppliers, can be combined within one
vehicle and operate together (multi-vendor
environment).

13. 13ITXPT
The ITxPT Label
The ITxPT label states the compliancy of
products.
In order to qualify a device, it needs to fulfill:
- Hardware compliance
- Software compliance
- Renewal during the lifecycle of a product
The label declares the compliance for the
referenced feature set in the report.
The scope of features labeled by ITxPT differs
from vendor to vendor.

Inventory
The Module Inventory Service is mandatory in
ITxPT architecture.
There are two main use-cases:
— basic module without any need to
communicate to backoffice only need to
implement the DNS reply (including TXT
record)
— more complete module needs to implement the
HTTP part as well (including xml file).
