From Seoul to London: How Cities Customize Public Transport Payment

Public transportation is a cornerstone of modern urban living, offering convenience, efficiency, and sustainability for commuters worldwide. As cities continue to expand and mobility becomes more critical than ever, public transport payment methods have evolved significantly, incorporating more user-friendly features. From contactless smart cards to integrated mobile apps, we will explore how cities have revolutionized public transport payment to cater to the diverse needs of their residents and visitors.

Seoul, South Korea – Seamless commuting experience

Seoul, the dynamic capital of South Korea, is renowned for its high-tech public transportation system that bridges its vast urban landscape. The public transport system in Seoul is closely interconnected. Many of the subway and bus routes cross the city border, seamlessly linking Seoul to its surrounding suburban regions. Over a million people commute to Seoul from nearby regions like Incheon and Gyeonggi Province on a daily basis. These commutes often entail multiple transfers between subway lines or from subway to buses. To accommodate such an interconnected system, a common payment method that allows for convenient cross-city travel and smooth transfers is a must for a city like Seoul.

To ensure a seamless travel experience for passengers Seoul’s public transport authorities have incorporated a contactless payment system. Diversification of payment options creates additional convenience for users. In Seoul, you can use regular contactless-enabled bank cards, rechargeable T-money public transport cards, and single-use tickets to pay for your rides. The contactless payment system also supports alternative digital payments like the T-money mobile app and Samsung Pay.

Using a personal credit card for public transport is reserved for locals who can get a public transport payment-enabled card at Korean banks. T-money cards, on the other hand, are available to everyone. The T-money card functions as a rechargeable card that passengers can easily top up at various locations, such as through the mobile app, at subway stations, and convenience stores. Beyond its use in public transportation, the T-money card extends its service to payments at vending machines and convenience stores.

One of the key strengths of Seoul’s contactless payment system lies in its seamless integration across various modes of transportation. Whether taking the subway, hopping on a bus, renting a bike, or catching a taxi, commuters can utilize the same card for all their travel needs. The payment system also accounts for multi-modal commutes, offering discounts for transfers completed within 30 minutes from the previous ride. This integration minimizes the hassle of juggling multiple payment methods and encourages the use of public transport for travel in and outside of the city. The same contactless payment methods can also be used nationwide, making public transport payment universally convenient across South Korea.

London, United Kingdom – Convenience for locals and tourists

As one of the world’s largest cities, London boasts an extensive and intricate public transport network comprised of the underground, iconic two-decker buses, and railways. On top of having a multi-million population, the city welcomes millions of tourists from all over the world every year. London’s public transport system helps all of these people navigate the city on a daily basis.  

London’s public transport payment system is renowned for its flexibility. The system operates on a contactless basis on virtually all public transit in London, including buses, underground, overground, Docklands Light Railway (DLR), and most national rail services in the city. Users can pay for their rides with whatever payment method is the most convenient for them.

Passengers can use contactless credit or debit cards, as well as mobile payment options like Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and Google Pay. London’s mass transit system also offers its own contactless Oyster card that is used as a rechargeable smart card. Users can top up their cards with credit to travel across the city effortlessly. To cater to tourists, the city offers Visitor Oyster cards that offer discounts on London’s popular attractions. The British capital’s public transport payment system’s flexibility caters to the needs of both residents and international travelers, offering users a wide variety of payment options to choose from.

One notable feature of London’s transport payment system is fare capping. The amount passengers pay for their daily or weekly travels is capped at a predetermined limit, equivalent to the cost of a pre-paid day/week travel card. Fare capping ensures that commuters never pay more than necessary, providing financial relief for regular commuters.

London is one of the most expensive cities in the world. For a city like this, public transport payment capping helps ease the financial burden of everyday commuting. Fare capping also makes public transport a more attractive alternative to other means of transportation like cabs and private cars, which helps ease traffic congestion in a city known for its narrow alleyways.

Munich, Germany – Bridging analog and digital

Munich, a city renowned for its rich history and cultural heritage, has an efficient and reliable public transportation system operating a wide-reaching metro, trams, and buses. Payment for Munich’s public transport is done with an MVV (Münchner Verkehrs- und Tarifverbund (Munich Transport and Tariff Association))ticket, a rather traditional payment method compared to more high-tech contactless options.

The MVV ticket is a paper or electronic ticket that provides access to Munich’s extensive public transport network, including the U-Bahn (subway), S-Bahn (commuter trains), trams, and buses. Travelers can choose from various ticket options, such as single-ride tickets, stripe tickets for multiple rides, day passes, tourist cards, and weekly or monthly travel cards.

Munich’s public transport system is organized into multiple zones, and the MVV ticket fares differ across these zones. Due to the difference in fares, ticket prices are calculated according to the passenger’s journey. Multi-use tickets, like monthly and weekly pre-paid cards, also take zonal travel into account offering different ticket prices for different zones. Prior to boarding public transport passengers have to validate their tickets by stamping them in at stamping machines as there are no turnstiles on the subways performing automatic validation.

Because of Munich’s unique public transport structure, the payment system can seem rather analog. Passengers have to purchase new tickets quite frequently, which can be cumbersome. To make public transport payment more convenient for the users the city rolled out alternative ways to purchase tickets digitally. Munich has embraced mobile ticketing applications, like The MVV app, which allow travelers to purchase tickets on their phones. Some tickets can also be purchased on the MVV website. This kind of digitization implements more user-friendly practices in public transit payment while catering to the existing system’s operations.  

Munich public transport payment

Seoul, London, and Munich, each of these cities are unique in their public transit system operations and user demographics. Each city’s public transit authorities have successfully devised distinct payment systems that work best for them. These diverse approaches showcase how cities worldwide are leveraging technology to enhance the commuter experience. Making public transport more user-friendly is an important step in promoting sustainable transportation and reducing reliance on private vehicles.

As urbanization continues to shape the world, the lessons learned from Seoul, London, and Munich’s public transport payment systems offer valuable insights for other cities striving to create customized and user-friendly mobility solutions.

AUTOCRYPT Releases Plug&Charge Upgrade for Charging Station Management System

SEOUL, KOREA, July 27, 2023 — Automotive cybersecurity and mobility solutions provider AUTOCRYPT expanded the scope of its EV charging station management system (CSMS) through the release of “EVIQ CSMS for Plug&Charge,” an add-on that will seamlessly guide the deployment and management of Plug&Charge (PnC) operations, available for charge point operators (CPO) and e-mobility service providers (EMSP). Defined in ISO 15118 for vehicle-to-grid (V2G) communications, Plug&Charge allows vehicles and chargers to automatically authenticate one another once plugged in, enabling a fully automated charging and billing process.

Certificate management through EVIQ CSMS for Plug&Charge

Compliant with ISO 15118-2 and ISO 15118-20, EVIQ CSMS for Plug&Charge provides customers with a comprehensive set of components necessary for the adoption of PnC technology as well as the management of PnC-capable chargers. These include the establishment of a PnC server on the backend and a frontend admin dashboard for certificate key management. The PnC server is integrated into the existing server of the CPO, while the admin dashboard can be integrated into their existing CSMS frontend or AUTOCRYPT’s EVIQ CSMS dashboard.

More importantly, the PnC add-on is interoperable across multiple V2G root environments. Due to the wide variety of V2G roots used by different CPOs and EMSPs, many service operators have found it challenging to enable Plug&Charge across different vehicle models and charging stations. AUTOCRYPT facilitates this interoperability by enabling validation across multiple root certificates.

“Given the growing number of regulations in Europe and Asia mandating V2G interoperability in public charging stations, we expect Plug&Charge to become the mainstream method for EV charging and billing,” said Daniel ES Kim, CEO of AUTOCRYPT. “The growing adoption of NACS will also simplify PnC deployment across North America.

In-Vehicle Cybersecurity: A Closer Look at HSM and TEE

It has long been established that cybersecurity is essential to vehicle operations and needs to be implemented universally. However, it is important to note that automotive cybersecurity does not follow a one-size-fits-all approach. Different types of cybersecurity measures have their pros and cons and are more effective for certain types of vehicle architectures rather than others. While there are different types of vehicle cybersecurity measures available on the market today, this blog will discuss hardware security modules (HSM) and trusted execution environments (TEE), offering a closer look at two of the most robust vehicle cybersecurity solutions.

Why do we need in-vehicle security?

Modern vehicles have complex internal computing systems that enable superior functions like advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications, as well as network and cloud connectivity. These internal computing systems interact with each other and the external network, exchanging large amounts of data and signals. If these communication nodes lack appropriate security measures it leaves the vehicle vulnerable to cyber risk.

Wi-Fi, navigation systems, V2X communications, all of these network connection endpoints can be potential routes for cyber attacks. Hackers could breach into a vehicle’s internal system to steal private data like vehicle location, registration number, and even financial information. There is also the risk of hackers breaking into the vehicle systems to gain control of its functions. We saw this happen when two researchers hacked into a car through its cellular connection. After establishing a wireless access to the car, the hackers gained control of the vehicle’s dashboard, infotainment system, and even the engine.

This experiment revealed many vulnerabilities in vehicle internal systems security. It also solidified the importance of a layered approach to vehicle cybersecurity, where both the internal vehicle environment and the external communications are secured.

What is HSM?

One of the most robust cybersecurity solutions in the automotive industry is a Hardware Security Module (HSM). HSM is an external physical security unit that is installed into electronic control units (ECU). It safeguards vehicle communications and functional control systems with message cryptography. Typically, an HSM will include its own processor, cryptographic technologies, and dedicated memory for the hardware security firmware and secure data. Having its own processor, the HSM operates separately from the ECU, bearing the computational load of security functions.

The security module’s main job is to safeguard sensitive vehicle data during message exchanges. It does this by storing cryptographic keys, performing cryptographic operations, and verifying digital signatures to conduct authenticity checks for messages passing through the vehicle. This makes sure that data coming from outside of the vehicle is verified, and data leaving the vehicle is safely encrypted.

HSMs have been the industry standard in vehicle cybersecurity for their ability to safeguard valuable information from tampering. However, there is a problem of scalability with this particular cybersecurity measure. HSM is a security unit that has to be physically installed into ECUs within the vehicle. So, installing HSMs in cars with complex internal architectures and an abundance of ECUs may become costly.

There is also the issue of flexibility. Many modern luxury vehicles support over-the-air (OTA) systems like software downloads and updates. These OTA systems enable the installation of new functionalities into a vehicle without having to alter its hardware composition.

In a rapidly developing automotive industry, cybersecurity software needs to be able to adapt to vehicle software changes. This will be hard to achieve for a car secured only with hardware security modules. The hardware-software segregation in advanced vehicle architectures requires a more flexible approach to cybersecurity that ensures cybersecurity measures evolve hand-in-hand with vehicle software developments.

What is TEE?

A cybersecurity solution that works more effectively in centralized vehicle architectures with ever-evolving software structures is a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). TEE is a software-based security measure that creates a secure and isolated environment within the application processor, separating critical operations from the rest of the system.

Critical operations and sensitive data can be executed and stored within the trusted execution environment, shielded from potential cyber threats. Similar to HSMs, TEEs have protected crypto libraries where sensitive information, such as cryptographic keys, can be securely stored and managed. They also provide secure communication channels between trusted components, ensuring that data transmitted within the secured area remains confidential and protected from the rest of the vehicle. This helps prevent unauthorized access or tampering.

For instance, the AutoCrypt IVS-TEE security solution offers OTA systems security with encryption and authentication technologies, making sure that only validated software is received and installed during OTA system updates. This is done to ensure that the software comes from an OEM and not a malicious actor.

While TEE and HSM offer similar cybersecurity measures they are very different in terms of implementation and execution. TEEs are built into the application processor’s chipset and can be implemented through software updates, making them more flexible and adaptable to changing security requirements. Leveraging a vehicle’s existing hardware resources, TEEs eliminate the need for additional security components, potentially reducing costs.

Establishing a TEE is a cybersecurity-by-design approach that ensures that there is a secure environment to run critical operations in every application processor.

Comparison of HSM and TEE structure

As vehicles become increasingly connected and autonomous, the importance of robust automotive cybersecurity methods cannot be overstated. HSM and TEE both play crucial roles in securing vehicles against cyber threats. HSMs excel in cryptographic operations and secure key storage, while TEEs create isolated execution environments within the main processor. By combining these methods, automotive manufacturers can maximize protection from external cyber threats and enhance the security of their vehicles.

AUTOCRYPT’s in-vehicle cybersecurity solutions provide complete protection for the vehicle-embedded systems minimizing cybersecurity risks.

The V2X Deployment Roadmap in Europe: Progress, Challenges, and What to Expect by 2024

Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology is widely regarded by industry experts as a promising solution to improve road safety and achieve full autonomous driving in the long run. However, to establish a functional and interoperable V2X ecosystem, all stakeholders must be on the same page. This article dives into the current V2X deployment progress in Europe and what to expect in the near future.

Europe is often seen as an optimal testbed for V2X technology and Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS), not only because the continent has some of the world’s most developed and well-maintained road networks, but also because it is home to dozens of road transport operators and has the highest concentration of global automotive OEMs.

As a promising strategy for achieving Vision Zero, V2X deployment has been on the agenda in Europe since the early 2010s. To facilitate the rollout of C-ITS, European Member States and road infrastructure operators joined forces to establish the C-Road Platform, a joint initiative to establish an integrated and interoperable C-ITS network that spans across European borders.

In the private sector, many automotive OEMs have been integrating V2X onboard units (OBU) into their new vehicles. As one of the early adopters, Volkswagen has equipped V2X OBUs in its entire ID. electric vehicle lineup. BMW recently announced plans to deploy V2X technology in its vehicles for vehicle-to-grid (V2G) bidirectional charging. Mercedes-Benz also has plans to deploy V2X, but has been so far promoting its cloud service as a medium to provide real-time vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) warnings.

However, despite all these efforts, we haven’t yet seen any large-scale V2X use cases on the continent. This raises many questions. How developed is V2X technology? Where is Europe on the V2X deployment roadmap? What are some of the challenges the industry is facing? What can we expect years down the road?

Is V2X technology ready for commercial use?

This would have been tough to answer in the past few years. But as of 2023, V2X technology is fully ready for implementation and commercial use. The reliability and safety of the technology have been repeatedly validated at cross-industry interoperability tests, with AUTOCRYPT being a major contributor to message security. A lot of roadside equipment is now V2X capable. And many OEMs have equipped their vehicles with V2X OBUs.

Where is Europe on the V2X deployment roadmap?

Europe is now entering an early stage of commercial V2X deployment. Still, to operate V2X services on a large-scale, more OBUs and RSUs need to be deployed. This can take up to a decade because consumers will keep their older cars for many years before upgrading. Time is also needed for road operators to install RSUs into their roadside equipment.

At this stage, is V2X deployment only a matter of time? The reality is more complicated. There remain a few challenges that are preventing OEMs and road operators from rolling out V2X at full speed.

What challenges does the industry face?

1. The divide between DSRC and C-V2X: into the hybrid era

The biggest challenge that has been slowing down V2X deployment was a lack of agreement among industry players on the communication protocol. The debate between the WLAN-based DSRC (dedicated short-range communications) and the LTE and 5G-based C-V2X (cellular V2X) has significantly slowed down the implementation of V2X. Each industry player has their own stance and preference, leading to an ongoing rivalry between the two technologies.

As of 2023, North America and China have mostly agreed on using C-V2X as the de facto V2X communication protocol, phasing out DSRC. However, Europe remains largely divided. Whereas Volkswagen uses DSRC for its vehicles, BMW and Daimler have both been in favour of C-V2X.

Fortunately, this divide is becoming less of an obstacle. Seeing that the European industry isn’t likely to reach a consensus anytime soon, V2X hardware providers, software suppliers, and cybersecurity providers like AUTOCRYPT have developed solutions compatible with both protocols so that industry players can continue V2X deployment without having to worry about compatibility.

Nevertheless, since DSRC and C-V2X are not meant to be interoperable at the fundamental access layer, more sophisticated hardware and additional development efforts are needed for dual compatibility. As such, although this hybrid approach can help the industry overcome its immediate interoperability issues, it is by no means an optimal solution in the long run. Many experts predict that one of the two protocols will eventually die off, ending the hybrid era.

2. A lack of incentives

Another obstacle that has been slowing down V2X deployment is the lack of incentives. In most conventional markets, the first mover often gains a competitive advantage because clients and consumers tend to associate the new idea or technology with the brand, just like how Tesla is strongly associated with electric vehicles and Uber with ride-hailing platforms. However, this kind of first-mover advantage is not present in the V2X market, because the full benefit of V2X can only be realized after multiple OEMs and road operators deploy them. Although Volkswagen equipped V2X into the ID. lineup, consumers haven’t been able to experience any significant benefits and thus no association is formed between V2X and the ID. brand.

Under such circumstances, governments and regulators must incentivize early adopters to accelerate V2X deployment. As of now, the idea of regulating V2X is still in debate. But with the joint effort of governments and several industry associations, more and more incentives are beginning to surface.

For instance, Europe’s new car assessment program, Euro NCAP, announced in its 2025 Roadmap that beginning in 2024, all new cars must be equipped with V2X connectivity to receive a five-star safety rating. This move will serve as an effective incentive for OEMs to deploy V2X in their vehicles on a large scale. The Euro NCAP further explained in the report that it chose this timing because it expects all technical uncertainties to be resolved by 2024.

3. Demand uncertainty

Currently, the public has very limited knowledge about V2X technology and its potential. In fact, many have never heard of the technology. This leads to uncertainty in market demand, as it’s hard to gain a grasp of demand when consumers haven’t been informed about the supply.

This isn’t to say that there will be a lack of demand. The potential demand for V2X is immense, given that consumers have always had strong desires for safety and convenience, both of which V2X has a lot to offer. Therefore, the question is not whether there is enough demand, but whether consumers are educated enough to understand how V2X can fulfill these demands. In the end, industry players must not only invest in the technology itself, but also in promoting the benefits of the technology by establishing innovative services and attractive consumer offerings.

What can we expect in the future?

Overall, V2X technology is now nearing the end of its testing stage and ready for large-scale development. Most of the challenges and obstacles that have slowed down V2X deployment over the past few years are now resolved. With more and more incentives, we can expect to see a kickstart to full-scale V2X deployment beginning in 2024.
