Real-time ticket blocking strengthens security on public transport.
Cloppenburg (06. Mai 2025) AMCON and Deutschlandtarifverbund-GmbH (DTVG) are working together to develop a central UIC security portal. By connecting to this security portal, it will be possible in future to block UIC tickets in real time if necessary – a significant step forward in the fight against ticket fraud and an important step towards greater security and transparency in public transport. This is because tickets with nationwide or international validity in particular have often not been able to be securely checked across the board, despite interoperability.
In order to further increase security standards in ticketing, a reliable cross-system check of ticket validity is essential. This is precisely where the new project of Deutschlandtarifverbund-GmbH (DTVG) in cooperation with the Cloppenburg-based software manufacturer AMCON comes in. The UIC security portal is primarily aimed at transport companies and transport associations that issue or recognize offers such as the Deutschlandticket or tariff products in the Deutschlandtarif.
Christian Skobjin, technical project manager at DTVG, emphasizes the importance of the project: “We are delighted to have a reliable and experienced partner at our side in AMCON, with whom we are implementing this important project. The UIC security portal is a user-friendly and centralized solution that helps transport companies and associations to effectively combat ticket fraud.” The DTVG is the association of public transport authorities and railroads. The DTVG provides information on the UIC security portal on its website www.sicherheit.deutschlandtarifverbund.de.
