How can I interface Pysae with AEP ticketing via a WIFI router?

Pysae is able to control the on-board ticketing system via a wireless connection based on the use of a WIFI/4G router.

This allows the driver's entry into service on the AVM to be shared with the ticketing system. This limits the number of manipulations the driver has to make on the on-board systems, and saves drivers precious time.

💡Principle

Pooling the driver's service ticket allows the service ticket to be transmitted directly via Pysae to the AEP ticketing system.

The connector between Pysae and AEP is used to automatically transmit to the AEP ticketing console the service entry made by the driver on his Pysae AVM console.

Via the connector, Pysae transmits all the information required to open the agent service on the ticketing system (driver identification) and to start the ticketing system on the service performed (service identification).

🔍 Technical requirements

You must have the following equipment:

AEP ticketing terminal
Smartphone or tablet
Mounting bracket
Data connection
4G Wifi router (to act as a gateway between the various on-board equipment)

📝Transport plan and required fields

Make sure that your transport plans (in GTFS format) are identical in your Pysae and AEP solutions. It is possible to retrieve the GTFS published in Pysae via the Transport Plan API.

GTFS fields required to communicate between Pysae and AEP

num_Cond = staffNumber
num_Parc = fleetNumber
num_Course = pisCode (value of custom field defined in OP)
line_company = agencyId
mne_Line = routeShortName
mne_Arret = stopId
service = blockId
direction = directionId +1

💻Configuration in Pysae

1/ Configuration

Go to the "Integrations" tab at the bottom left.

Click on "Activate" in the "AEP Ticketing Solution" box.

2/ Adding the connection IP and TCP/IP port

The connection IP is the IP address used to configure the 4G routers that will power the connection between Pysae and AEP. You should ask your 4G provider for this address.

The TCP/IP port to specify depends on your Internet Service Provider (ISP). You should contact your ISP to obtain this information. The default setting is 33333.
