Motics protects mobile tickets
Motics protects mobile tickets against copying and forgery. Whether as a barcode or via NFC, online or offline. In the app or the wallet. Motics is part of the VDV-KA and ((etiCORE.
Motics stands for Mobile Ticketing Crypto Service and reliably protects mobile tickets against copying and tampering. The Motics specifications have been part of the VDV core application since May 2018 and have been available free of charge to all participants in (((eTicket Deutschland since 2021.
Motics is also part of (((etiCORE
We’re doing away with barcodes: with the Motics NFC upgrade, the ticket validator recognises the ticket directly via near-field communication technology on the smartphone. No display or scanning required. This makes ticket validation up to 63 per cent faster. This is particularly beneficial during periods of high passenger numbers or at major events.
Furthermore, NFC does not require an internet connection and can therefore be used even in areas with limited network coverage.
From 1 May 2028, all transport operators carrying out ticket inspections must be able to validate Deutschland-Tickets in the (((etiCORE format. We recommend commissioning Motics NFC directly as part of this transition. This will help avoid additional development, certification and roll-out costs.
Our recommended course of action will assist you in planning and commissioning the necessary adjustments.
For manufacturers who have purchased an (((etiKIT from us, we offer short digital information sessions on Motics. In two to three hours, we provide an insight into the needs of the public transport sector, use cases, and the features and costs of Motics.
For transport operators and transport associations, we offer in-house training sessions on Motics.
Web2Wallet
With MoticsWeb2Wallet, transport operators and transport associations can offer secure mobile tickets even to occasional passengers. No app required – simply purchase directly from the online shop. Of course, the Motics ticket can also be integrated into existing apps. Here you can take a look at the technical details regarding Motics tickets in Google Wallet.
And if you’re interested in use cases: Motics Web2Wallet tickets have already been used successfully at the Munich Oktoberfest and the Cologne Carnival.
Our consultancy team is happy to assist with the tendering process and implementation of Motics projects.
Motics Forum
On the Motics Forum on our collaboration platform (((efi, you’ll find documents such as our Motics Starter Guide and plenty of best practice examples, and you can exchange ideas with us and other transport operators.
Motics Monitoring
The web-based Motics Monitoring provides insight into the certification and attestation processes of the Motics Library. The dashboard facilitates root cause analysis and assists with debugging.
Transport operators are granted access to L2 and L3 data. Manufacturers can access L2 data, but require additional authorisation from the commissioning transport operator to do so.
You can obtain access to the dashboard via our customer service team: to do so, open a ticket in the service portal with the subject line ‘Motics Monitoring’ or send us an email.
