The interoperability between a transport ticket and the readers of a transport infrastructure can only be ensured through functional conformity tests conducted on the cards and readers. The ISO/IEC TS 24192 specification follows the evolution of the ISO/IEC 14443 standard and now brings these technological advancements to the world of transportation, thereby benefiting interoperability.
