Mitteldeutsche Regiobahn commissions AMCON with the implementation of a new sales and control solution
Cloppenburg/Chemnitz (January 24, 2024) – Mitteldeutsche Regiobahn (MRB), operating under the Transdev Group brand, manages regional rail services in Saxony. This includes Regional Express Line RE 6 (Leipzig–Chemnitz), Regionalbahn Line RB 110 (Leipzig–Döbeln), and the electric network in Central Saxony, including RE 3 (Dresden–Hof), RB 30 (Dresden–Zwickau), and RB 45 (Chemnitz–Elsterwerda).
As part of modernizing and digitalizing its sales processes, Transdev Mitteldeutschland GmbH engaged AMCON to deliver a new sales and inspection solution. This includes the provision of 150 mobile terminals, 15 ticket office stations, associated peripherals, and a back-end sales system.
Digitizing Ticket Inspections with AMCON.MOBILE
The central goal of the implementation is to support both ticket sales and mobile inspection of travel authorizations, covering the Deutschlandtarif (DTV) and various other association tariffs.
AMCON will supply MRB with Point Mobile PM85 devices — 150 mobile terminals running AMCON.MOBILE for sales and inspection purposes.
With AMCON.MOBILE, MRB inspection staff can verify traditional paper tickets, eTickets as static tokens (e.g., 2D barcodes on paper or smartphone), and electronic tickets on chip cards. The inspection process is fully digital, compliant with industry standards such as UIC 918.9, VDV-KA, and including Motics support.
The handling of increased fare charges (EBE) is also fully digital: inspection personnel capture personal data and verify it against identification documents. All EBE data is immediately transferred to the AMCON back-end system (HGS), where MRB staff can review, process, and automatically forward it to a debt collection service provider.
“We look forward to this project and, in particular, to further strengthening our collaboration with the Transdev Group. We want to thank them for their trust and are proud to be helping shape MRB’s digital transition,” said Darius Rauert, Managing Partner of AMCON Software GmbH.
