At the recent VISIONFC sessions hosted by the NFC Forum, NXP, Silicon Craft, and DART shared their perspective on what the future holds for NFC and wearables, healthcare, and transport.
Presentation Abstracts:
NXP - Wearable –Your Personal Wallet, as easy as A-B-C
Mobile phones, thanks to NFC, start to provide solutions for contactless payments, but what if we can bring in a disruptive approach? A simple wearable device performs as a secure application container hosting, not only your payment cards but also your transport and any others. This presentation addresses the vision of the personal virtual wallet, allowing any service provider irrespective of size to deploy their applications in a mobile form.
Silicon Craft Technology - Vision of NFC Technology: Passively-Operated Health Monitoring
Recently, there has been a remarkable upsurge in activity surrounding the adoption of personal health monitoring devices for patients and consumers. With the significant increase in the number of NFC phones in the marketplace, passive battery-less NFC technology is able to validate or enable many healthcare applications. NFC is the only technology that is capable of providing energy harvesting to connect medical device(s).
DART - Leveraging Public Transit to Springboard Widespread Adoption: Opportunities and Obstacles
Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) will be deploying an account-based, open payment payment platform in midyear 2017. The system will be capable of handling contactless payments made via a proprietary card issued by DART or a smartphone equipped with NFC communication. DART will be building upon its experience with the mobile ticketing app called GoPass which was introduced in 2013 and has now been downloaded over 500,000 times. The deployment will be supported by VIX Technology (system integrator), moovel (mobile ticketing) and PayNearMe (retail merchant manager). The Pay Near Me team will distribute cards to over 800 locations at which customers will be able to purchase cards and add value to their account using either their card or their smartphone. DART is working with UBER, Lyft, taxi companies and other entities to permit an integrated payment and settlement process to be developed for the convenience of the customer.

6. Secure services in the mobile phone
Friction around SE in mobile devices
– Expensive, complex and proprietary SE and SP TSM setup
to deploy and maintain secure services
– Commercial friction between SPs and SE owners
Resulting in
– Few, fragmented commercial deployments on single or few
payment card instances
– No single and simple user experience possible across
different secure services
– Limited user acceptance. Limited, slow mass deployments
Reality to-date
• Cost for OEM to enable & manage an eSE
• 2M$ to enable a SEI TSM (example)
• >100k$/month maintenance (example)
• Complex onboarding of service providers
• 250k$ to integrate each new SP-TSM (example)
Barriers to fast adoption
► Only major OEMs ready to invest (eg Apple,
Samsung)
► Very focused application deployments (payment)
► Limited phone models with SE leading to emergence
of alternative solution (e.g. HCE) allowing SP to
enable their service
6. VisioNFC – NFC Forum
7. Wearable vs smartphone
• Mobile Platform independent
• Smartphone acts as a bridge to SE
through BT connectivity
• Improved user experience
• Price
• Mobile platform dependent
• Access to SE dependent upon OEM or
MNO (SE owner)
• Non unified user experience (SP view)

Payment System (CPS)
Update
(It’s no longer just about fares)
DART’s Electronic Payment Initiative
Presented by
David Leininger
Executive VP/CFO
Dallas Area Rapid Transit
29. CFPS Expanded Overview – A hybrid payment solution
using mobile, contactless closed and open loop, mag
stripe, and cash
A robust account-based payment solution which utilizes new innovative technologies which:
• Allows customers to obtain and purchase fares that are convenient and easy to
understand using a variety of payment options, including mobile, contactless and
cash;
• Creates a unified customer account of record;
• Allows for registration of all reduced riders using one platform;
• Allows customers to participate in fare capping on a daily and monthly basis;
• Significantly reduces the total amount of physical cash that the agency collects;
• Provides operational efficiencies across the agency as the system solution is less
complex;
• Increases system reliability as there are fewer points of failures; and
• Permits a scalable design for future fare and third party payment initiatives such
as integration with Uber, Lyft, and Taxi and sports and entertainment venues.
29
30. Evolution of the decision to move to an electronic
(as opposed to fare) payments strategy
• Industry fare payment system situation assessment undertaken in
2011.
• Determination made that a major transition was underway from
stored value to account-based and open payments, but it was in
early stages of deployment.
• Election to adopt a comprehensive (all types of payment from all
channels, including payments for sales of services other than
transit) payment strategy and proceed first with mobile ticketing.
• RFP for mobile issued in spring of 2012; a contract to Unwire was
awarded in October 2012; and full deployment occurred in
September 2013.
30
31. Evolution of the decision to move to an electronic
payments strategy
• In spring of 2014, fare collection vendors were invited to submit
their own proposals for development and deployment of an
account-based system.
• In summer of 2014, two vendors submitted full proposals and three
others provided outlines of their proposed approach.
• In fall of 2014 a three-part solicitation (RFQ Level 1/RFQ Level
2/RFP) was released. Eight responses were received. Four were
advanced to Level 2 function verification assessment. All four
advanced to RFP submission phase.
• In September of 2015, a contract was awarded to VIX for
comprehensive electronic payment system under a managed
services, remotely-hosted solution.
31
32. Evolution of the decision to move to an electronic
payments strategy
• DART elected to separately solicit and obtain a mobile ticketing
agreement, awarded to Globe Sherpa (now moovel) in April 2016,
which will include upgraded interfaces with Uber, Lyft, Taxi, and
other ridesourcing services.
• DART also elected to separately solicit and obtain a retail
distribution agreement, awarded to PayNearMe (in partnership
with Blackhawk and Fidelity Express) in April 2016 which will
serve over 900 locations and is integrated with mobile ticketing
application.
• Full deployment is scheduled for March-August 2017.
32
33. Mobile Ticketing Solution Decisions
GoPass will be upgraded to version 2.0, and there
will be a vendor transition to Globe Sherpa (now
moovel)
• Quicker loading speed;
• Sign-in using email address;
• Provides direct customer feedback in app;
• Interactive route and system mapping;
• Customers can set up auto load for pass products;
• Purchase and display multiple rider fares on one ticket;
• Pay by using cash (proposed via retail solution);
• Supports NFC solutions: Apple Pay, Android Pay.
Passes will still require visual acceptance until NFC is fully deployed across all platforms
33
35. On-Board Validators (OBVs)
When a customer taps the validator, the
screen will display:
• Green – valid ride
• Yellow – low balance, but current ride is valid
• Red – unacceptable
It is proposed that the OBV will be integrated
with MDT to display the color and the message
for the Operators.
35
36. Platform Validators (PVs)
When a customer taps the validator,
the screen will display:
• Green – valid ride
• Yellow – low balance, but current ride is
valid
• Red – unacceptable
• All light rail and TRE (~ 400 validators)
36
37. Retail Network Decisions
• DART issued a RFP for its Prepaid Payment Card and Retail
Network (PPCRN) program and selected PayNearMe (PNM) as the
retail network vendor.
• PNM, along with its partners, will provide over 900 retail locations
within the DART Service Area for purchase of the DART extended-
use card.
• Partners include Blackhawk Network, which provides access to the
largest grocery store retail network; and Fidelity Express, which
provides access to independent and small grocery operators.
• PNM also provides the option to use cash via the mobile app to
obtain passes.
37
40. Fare Policy Decisions
DART system will require pay-as-you-go customers with
contactless closed loop cards to tap on for payment (pass policy to
be continued for mobile and TVM-issued magnetic strip media).
Apple Pay will be supported.
DART CFPS will implement fare capping. These fare caps will be
restricted to daily and monthly (both local and regional) caps
initially in the system.
DART has determined that users must register their DART card,
payment card, or mobile account to qualify for fare capping, as
well as balance protection, and other loyalty program benefits.
40
41. CFPS Alternative Payment Initiatives
• Emerging payment integrations pose new challenges and
opportunities.
• DART has introduced a subscriber-based third-party ridesource
service using a closed loop card and which links a subscriber
contribution with matching funds from DART.
• The current implementation is free standing but will eventually be
integrated with the backend designed by VIX.
• This type of initiative takes DART completely out of the point-of-
sale fare collection process and direct service delivery process and
shifts us to customer mobility fulfillment and payment support.
41
42. Proposed Implementation
Full deployment by August 2017
• Pilot launch will occur during Fall/Winter 2016.
• Additional workshops throughout the agency will be conducted to
develop additional business rules, policies, and procedures.
• Farebox and mobile ticketing updates will take place.
• Civil works will be performed at DART Rail stations.
• Revenue service first with mobile in June; full deployment in
August.

43. What the future holds for NFC in the Public Transport
sector? Progress…slowly, but certainly
• My intent in this presentation was to speak to the technology underpinnings that public transit
agencies have to secure before there can be serious exploitation of NFC in this arena.
• It has taken transit agencies a fair amount of time to fully understand and appreciate the technical,
operational, and financial issues associated with full deployment of an account-based system capable
of accommodating modern forms of payment.
• Only Utah Transit and Chicago MTA have successfully deployed an account-based, open payment
architecture and supporting backend. WMATA has dropped its efforts for the foreseeable future.
SEPTA (Philadelphia) is two years behind schedule and will require another two years based upon
current estimates. New York MTA has just released an RFP and acknowledge it will be 2019 or 2020
before they can deploy NFC contactless capabilities.
• Mobile ticketing platforms, an essential element of NFC deployment, have advanced more quickly
but are still only available in a limited number of markets and rely largely on barcode and visual
validation versus NFC.
• Developing a robust retail merchant network strategy, with open payment, contactless solutions for
product purchase, account load and reload is only now being recognized as an essential element of a
comprehensive payment strategy.
43
44. What the future holds for NFC in the Public Transport
sector? Progress…slowly, but certainly
• The actual utilization of contactless credit cards in Chicago and Salt Lake City has
been very low (and falling).
• Transit agencies have determined that the customers strongly prefer, for a variety of
reasons, closed-loop contactless payment methods linked to a separate transit
account.
• But the use case environment is rapidly changing in directions that will accelerate the
reliance on NFC-based payment presentation solutions:
• Virtually all smart phones being manufactured and sold today are NFC-enabled.
• Considerable work by software developers has been done on the Android platform, and both
Google Pay and Samsung Pay will become much more present in 2017.
• Apple Pay works.
• The major banks are getting beyond EMV conversion and say, once again, they will be deploying
contactless cards in large quantities in 2017.
• In transit, a major step forward in the latter part of 2017 will be a Google Pay/five
transit agency introduction of a feature which provides for the inclusion of a digital
transit card within the Google wallet.
44
45. What the future holds for NFC in the Public Transport
sector? Progress…slowly, but certainly…and
then…suddenly!
• Major payment system deployments in public transit agencies
require a minimum of five and often as many as seven years from
RFP to system acceptance.
• It is likely that the top 25 transit markets in the United States will
have issued RFPs for account-based payment solution, including
mobile platforms, within the next three to five years.
• With New York likely to come on line by 2020 and the balance by
2022-2024, NFC-based payment solutions will “suddenly” achieve
critical mass around 2022.
45
46. IN SUMMARY
Who knows what seven years from
now will bring when new technology
innovations are combined with a
widespread payment infrastructure in
virtually all major transit markets?!
