About this file

This specification document establishes the technical and manufacturing requirements for Limited Use Proximity Integrated Circuit Cards (LU-PICC), commonly known as EASY Tickets, for use on the Miami-Dade County transit system's automated fare collection (AFC) equipment. The specification, issued by Cubic Transportation Systems Inc. and revised as of November 1, 2019, defines comprehensive physical, electrical, and performance characteristics for both precut and roll stock smartcard formats designed for extended storage and limited-use applications in public transit environments.

The specification mandates detailed requirements across multiple dimensions, including card dimensions in accordance with ISO/IEC standards, thickness tolerances of 400 micrometers ±40 micrometers for precut cards and 400 micrometers ±60 micrometers for roll stock, and material composition using paper or paper-polyester laminate construction. Cards must perform under usage conditions ranging from -4°F to +140°F and 15% to 95% relative humidity, with storage requirements of 50°F to 85°F and 25% to 50% relative humidity for up to three years. Manufacturing requirements include ISO 9000 compliance, secure production areas, security controls for administration numbers, reference card submissions (two sets of 50 cards each), and comprehensive testing protocols including read/write cycle performance of at least 10,000 cycles at 0-5 centimeters minimum distance. Packaging specifications require 750 precut cards per box with shrink-wrap and cartons containing at least nine boxes, while roll stock cards allow up to 5 percent nonfunctioning cards with no more than two sequential defects per roll. Quality standards mandate first article testing of 100 sample cards for new suppliers and minimum random sampling of 20 cards per 500,000 cards for qualified suppliers, with all cards requiring printed graphics, administration numbers, and serialization per Cubic specification control drawings.

1. INTRODUCTION

This specification defines the characteristics for the Limited Use Proximity Integrated Circuit Card (LU-PICC).

The cards shall conform to this specification and the external standards required by this document. This document does not provide examples of graphics. Actual graphics artwork and final printed text, if applicable, will be specified and/or provided with the purchase order and/or other documents.

This specification is for LU-PICC cards for automated processing in automated fare collection (AFC) equipment, e.g., vending machines, bulk encoders, and validation devices.

This is a physical specification for the LU-PICC with similar electronic characteristics of an ID-1 PICC, such as those specified within ISO/IEC 14443 (reference [9]) Parts 2 and 3, but in thinner card body formats, as defined within the selected card thickness of ISO/IEC 15457-1 (reference [6]) and ANSI 410-2006 (reference [5]) for thin flexible cards. Construction attributes, pertaining to the materials, functionality and environmental requirements and targeted use are also specified. This type of PICC is to be classified as a Limited Use Proximity Integrated Circuit Card.

This specification is for LU-PICC cards that are designed to satisfy the need for a minimal cost contactless smart card (CSC), or the PICC as a form of electronic media. These LU-PICCs have limited features and lifecycle expectations while providing core electronic interface technology compatible to the established ISO/IEC 14443 standard PICCs designed to accommodate other application requirements. Further, this LU- PICC specification is not intended for applications where card life cycle requirements are significant (greater than 6 months, under normal circumstances or where extensive and high-security applications are required or intended). This class of PICC may be applied to private and public transit systems requiring electronic ticketing, building security access systems as well as many other applications such as retail that are not provided for through the international standards forum.

3. ENVIRONMENT

3.1 USAGE

The cards shall meet the read/write and normal use performance requirements of this specification while exposed to any combination of the conditions shown in Table 3-1.

Table 3-1. Usage Environment

Environment Condition

Temperature –4 °F to +140 °F (–20 °C to +60 °C)

Relative Humidity (RH) 15% to 95% (noncondensing)

NORMAL USE—means normal usage of the ticket in the environment of public transport with storage, distribution, validation, and reloading of tickets, excluding improper use.

IMPROPER USE—means any usage for which the ticket has not been designed for, including excessive handling or mechanical stresses—mishandling, and willful damage to the LU-PICC.

More precisely:

IMPROPER USE is:

1. Any following occurrence:

a. Excessive physical stress such as:

1) Bending the LU-PICC beyond conditions described in this document.

2) Folding the LU-PICC.

3) Tearing, punching holes, or cutting the LU-PICC through the antenna or ASIC chip.

4) Any other physical damage to the LU-PICC, for example, scraping, or delaminating attempt, etc.

b. Excessive electrical stresses:

1) Write/erase cycles beyond those described in the chip specification and this document.

2) Excessive current, voltage, static discharge or radio wave discharged exposure beyond those described in the chip specification.

3) Any storage or use in conditions beyond those described in this document.

4) Any use with the LU-PICC in any equipment, which is not approved by Cubic.

3.2 STORAGE

The cards shall be suitable for storage for up to 3 years under the conditions shown in Table 3-2.

Table 3-2. Storage Environment

Environment Condition

Temperature 50 °F to 85 °F (10 °C to 30°C) Relative Humidity (RH) 25% to 50% (noncondensing)

This document contains proprietary and confidential information originated or owned by Cubic. Neither this document nor the information disclosed herein shall be reproduced or transferred to other documents or used or disclosed to others for

4. PHYSICAL AND ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS

4.1 CARD REQUIREMENTS–PRECUT AND ROLL STOCK

The cards shall meet all the requirements stated in this specification, when conditioned for 24 hours at 74 °F ±4 °F (23 °C ±2 °C) and 50 percent ±5 percent RH. Cards will be conditioned while outside of any shrink wrap, box or carton prior to testing. Cards are conditioned in part because paper thickness may change with varying humidity.

4.1.1 Dimensions

The physical dimensions of the cards shall be in accordance with that specification control drawing for the card. See drawings 4100-01013 (reference [6]), 4100-01011 (reference [7]), 4100-01032 (reference [11] and 4100-01033 (reference [12].

4.1.2 Thickness

4.1.2.1 Precut cards

The thickness of the precut card is a very important feature for automated dispensing. There are two thicknesses for a LU-PICC card; the thickness over the main body of the card and the thickness over the chip.

The chip is positioned so that its increased height does not affect the separation of the cards. For the precut ticket it is required that all of the layers extend completely to the short edges of the card. This is not necessary for the long edges of the ticket and may be of lesser thickness for a width of 6 mm from the long edge of the card.

The thickness over the body of the card including the short edges as described above, must be compliant with the dimensions and tolerances defined below:

The overall thickness of the body of the card (excluding the ASIC chip):

Must be: 400 µm +/- 40 µm

Over the ASIC chip: 500 µm max

4.1.2.2 Roll stock cards

The thickness on roll stock cards is not as critical as for the precut cards as there is no separation performed between cards. It may be preferable that some of the layers do not extend to the edges of the card and into the perforation area between the cards as they may cause problems in meeting the burst strength requirements.

The thickness over the body of the card (excluding the ASIC chip):

Must be: 400 µm +/- 60 µm

Over the ASIC chip: 500 µm max

4.1.3 Finished Edges

Per reference [5].

This document contains proprietary and confidential information originated or owned by Cubic. Neither this document nor the information disclosed herein shall be reproduced or transferred to other documents or used or disclosed to others for

4.1.4 Material

4.1.4.1 Card Material

The material for all cards shall perform to the standards as noted in this specification. The use of paper or paper and polyester paper laminate is preferable. The exact composition is to be defined by the card vendor to meet these requirements of this specification, or as specified by the specification control drawing.

4.1.4.2 Antenna Material

Materials used for the construction of the antenna must be consistent with the required electrical and physical stress specifications of this document; these materials in addition must meet the minimum matching electrical specification of the integrated circuit with an antenna within the allocated ID-1 width and length format area while preserving the restricted area. Class-1 or Class-2 antenna shall be used in accordance with the specification control drawing. In addition, the card manufacturer must control the thickness of the antenna applied material, so that both the minimum and maximum dimensions of a completed card body thickness are held within the specification. Printed antennas are not allowed, only etched or wire antennas.

The antenna should provide the LU-PICC read/write distance per the requirements in this document.

4.1.5 Stiffness

This section applies ONLY to

360µm—400µm or 0.014–0.016-inch thick material.

Using the Taber method, the stiffness shall conform to the following values:

1. The Taber test will be performed using the Taber V-5 model 150-B test machine measured with a 15° angle and standard non-weighted pendulum.

2. When measured parallel to the grain, a specimen cut from a credit card-sized ticket will be between 45 and 80 gm/cm Taber stiffness units.

4.1.6 Toxicity

The toxicity of the cards shall be in accordance with ISO/IEC 7810:2003(E). Individual LUCSCs shall not cause injury by contact, inhalation, or ingestion in normal use. Bulk media shall be handled and stored in accordance with the toxicological information contained in the product safety data sheets supplied by the LUCSC supplier upon request.

4.1.7 Static Electricity

The cards shall have no adverse effects when exposed to static electricity in accordance with reference [2].

Static magnetic fields per ANSI 410-2006 (reference [5]) Alternating electric and magnetic fields per ANSI 410-2006 (reference [5])

This document contains proprietary and confidential information originated or owned by Cubic. Neither this document nor the information disclosed herein shall be reproduced or transferred to other documents or used or disclosed to others for

4.1.8 Exposure to Radiation

4.1.8.1 X-Rays

Per reference [5].

4.1.8.2 Irradiation

Per reference [5].

4.1.9 Durability

Wrapping the card completely around a 1-inch diameter cylinder, and then removing it, will not cause any damage to the functionality of the card. This test must be performed on both front and back surfaces of the card, with the cylindrical axis parallel to the short edge.

4.1.10 Torsional Bending

Per reference [5].

4.1.11 Opacity

The card opacity shall be in accordance with the following: The attenuation of light in passing through the thickness of the card shall be 85 percent minimum over a wavelength range of 500 to 1020 nm (i.e., the half-power bandwidth of a silicon photocell). This requirement applies to the entire LU-PICC surface excluding the magnetic stripe area.

4.1.12 Delamination

The card stock shall not delaminate while used within ANSI 410-2006 (reference [5]) operating limit use life cycle, or after being subjected to test requirement in the durability and torsional bending test.

4.1.13 Thermal Coating (If required by Cubic)

When required by the specification control drawing for the card, a thermal coating must be such that it will produce clear printing by an Axiohm™ Type CMDG printer (or equivalent) with a printing speed of

1.6 inch/second (40 mm/second) at 77 °F (25 °C) and 203 dots/inch (8 dots/mm). The side to be thermal coated is defined in the applicable specification control drawings. Variations in thickness due to the internal electronic parts of the card must not affect the thermal printing in the areas outside the permissible chip locations.

4.2 CARD REQUIREMENTS–PRECUT ONLY

4.2.1 Curl

The curl of the card shall not exceed the values shown in Table 4-1.

This document contains proprietary and confidential information originated or owned by Cubic. Neither this document nor the information disclosed herein shall be reproduced or transferred to other documents or used or disclosed to others for

Table 4-1. Card Curl Requirements

Media Curl Value

Parallel to long dimension (overall flatness)

The maximum perpendicular distance, measured from any point on the concave surface to the plane defined by any two corners, shall be 0.079 inch (2.00 mm) on either edge of the card.

Parallel to short dimension (transverse curl)

The maximum perpendicular distance, measured from any point on either of the concave short edges to a line defined by the two adjacent corners, shall be 0.039 inch (1.0 mm) on either edge of the card.

4.2.2 Adhesion

Cubic test equipment tool 4100-35014 must be used to determine the adhesion. Using this tool, all tested cards must have a value of less than 55 angular degrees after being conditioned for 24 hours at 122 °F (50 °C) and 85 percent RH (noncondensing). The test procedure is as follows:

1. Two cards are required for the test. The cards are placed on the base platen and the top platen is then placed on top of the bottom platen with the cards between them and with the front edge of the top platen offset back by 1/8" so that the top platen with the card attached can slide forward during the test.

2. The assembly is then inserted into the environmental chamber at the settings noted above for 24 hours.

3. The assembly is then removed from the chamber and the handle on the tester is wound manually and slowly until the top platen slides down to touch the stop in the bottom platen.

4. When this happens, stop winding the handle and measure the angle on the scale by lining up the platen edge with the scale and note at what angle this occurred.

4.2.3 Coefficient of Friction

Tickets shall be measured for friction in accordance with ASTM D1894. Tickets shall be measured in the direction of the long axis and oriented the same way such that edges are coincident and the top surface of one ticket is in contact with the bottom surface of the other ticket. The measured value for the inter-ticket static coefficient of friction shall fall within the specified range of 0.15 to 0.30, at a speed of 6 in./min., including sampling error.

Test equipment: Friction Tester Certified to ASTM D1894. (not Cubic-owned)

4.3 CARD REQUIREMENTS—ROLL STOCK ONLY

4.3.1 Perforation Strength (Roll Stock Only)

The cards will be mechanically burst from the roll stock. The material composition must allow the cards to be burst from the roll stock by a tensile pull force applied along the longitudinal axis of the stock at right angles to the perforations. When a pull force of 21 lb ±8 lb is applied, the perforation will separate without damaging the adjacent card material.

4.3.2 Attachment of Last Card to Cardboard or Plastic Spool (Roll Stock Only) The last card on the roll that contacts the cardboard or plastic spool must be complete and not partial and must not have any rips, cuts or tears.

This document contains proprietary and confidential information originated or owned by Cubic. Neither this document nor the information disclosed herein shall be reproduced or transferred to other documents or used or disclosed to others for

The card material must freely separate from the spool. There must not be any glue, adhesive tape or staples remaining on the card stock or on any of the card material that was removed. The card material may be retained onto the spool by using double adhesive tape. Cubic recommends use of Scotch® ATG tape 928.

This tape will have two adhesive strengths: between the spool and the tape, the adhesion will be high;

between the tape and the card stock, the adhesion will be low. This difference in adhesion will allow the card stock to easily peel away from the spool, leaving both the tape and its adhesives remaining on the spool.

Any alternative method of attachment is permissible only with written authorization from Cubic.

4.3.3 Tightness of Wind Test (Roll Stock Only)

Per reference [5].

4.3.4 Card Splicing

In a continuous roll of card stock, it is permissible to have two cards that are spliced together anywhere in the roll. The spliced cards contribute to the amount of allowable nonworking cards on a roll. The spliced card must conform to Sections 2, 3, 4.1.1 through 4.1.4, 4.1.6, and 4.3 of this specification with the exception of the following:

• The card length tolerance is increased to: 1.25 mm (±0.05 inches) (85.7 mm (3.375 inch) nominal).

• Total thickness (over tape) must not exceed 0.700 mm (0.027 inch).

• Tape width must not exceed 26 mm (1.025 inches).

• Longitudinal card edges to align within 0.75 mm (0.030 inch).

• Spliced card edges must butt together and not overlap.

• The widest gap where light can pass through between butted ends of card portions must not exceed: 0.5 mm (0.02 inch).

• Adhesive tape material to be 1.0-inch wide red splicing tape PN: ST655-200, available from Lynn Flexo Supply Inc., 18140 State Highway 177, PO Box 364, Jackson, MO 63755, or a Cubic-approved equivalent.

• Neither of the card portions to be cut to less than 21.72 mm (0.855 inch) in length.

• The splice cut shall be diagonal at an angle of approximately 75 degrees.

• Adhesive tape must withstand the long term and short storage requirements without peeling off or the adhesive losing strength. In addition, the tape cannot become tacky and leave deposits on adjacent cards in the roll.

• The splice joint must withstand a tensile pull value that is the addition of the maximum specified perforation burst strength plus 2.5 kg (5.5 lbs.).

• Two sample spliced cards to confirm the above values are to be provided by the card supplier separate from the roll stock with each shipment of cards.

• The edges of the spliced section must not protrude beyond the maximum width of the ticket stock and any excess splicing material must be removed. This is most effectively accomplished by cutting away the edges of the spliced area using a tool and die.

10. PACKAGING AND DELIVERY

10.1 PACKAGING AND LABELING

The cards shall be packaged in such a manner as to inhibit pilferage, prevent damage during shipment, and facilitate storage in order to be acceptable to the purchaser. The cards shall be packaged in the quantities specified below.

10.1.1 Precut Cards

Precut cards shall be packed as follows:

• The cards shall be packed in boxes.

• Each box will be shrink-wrapped.

• There shall be 750 cards per box (unless otherwise specified by Cubic or the end customer).

• The boxes shall be packed in cartons.

• There shall be at least nine boxes of cards per carton (unless otherwise specified by Cubic or the end customer). The boxes should be stacked horizontally not vertically for storage and shipment.

Cartons shall be of sufficient strength to permit stacking four cartons high, without damage to the cards or the cartons, for a storage period of up to 3 years in conditions as described in Table 3-2.

The cards shall be packaged sufficiently tight to prevent card-to-card movement that may damage the printed surfaces. However, they will not be packaged so tightly as to create undue pressure on the card-to-card contact to damage the cards internal IC.

The box of cards can be of mixed orientation so as to assure that 750 cards can be stacked without leaning, tipping, or creating a diagonally twisted stack. Mixed orientation may reduce shipping damage to the cards by preventing the integrated circuits (the high point) from being compressed where the pressure point over the integrated circuit is increased. The top card in a stack of 750 cards shall not have a pitch or roll of more than 6 degrees from the horizontal plane.

10.1.2 Roll Stock Cards

10.1.2.1 Nonfunctioning cards

Each roll may have up to 5 percent nonfunctioning cards. No more than two nonfunctioning cards can be sequential. The quantity of nonfunctioning cards for each roll shall be indicated on the label.

10.1.2.2 Packing Roll Stock Cards

Roll stock cards shall be packed as follows:

• Rolls will be shrink-wrapped.

• Each roll is packed in a single box.

• The box should support the round profile of the roll, either utilizing an octagonal shape or filler pieces that fit into the corners to support the roll when the box is dropped or jarred during shipment.

• Boxes shall be packed in cartons, each carton containing four boxes unless otherwise specified by Cubic or the end customer.

11. QUALITY STANDARDS

The quality standard for meeting this specification will be in accordance with the following:

1. All suppliers require qualification by Cubic prior to card production.

2. All new suppliers and existing suppliers of new LU-PICC products will provide a set of 100 first article test sample cards that will be tested for compliance with this specification prior to production start.

3. For qualified suppliers; future LU-PICC card orders will have test cards randomly selected from the production shipment. The amount of cards tested will be dependent upon the supplier’s previous QA performance, but will be a minimum of 20 cards per 500,000 cards. The results of follow-on inspection and testing due to failures will dictate the course of action taken on any delivery.

4. Upon request, suppliers will provide test results and certification relevant to the manufacture, testing and materials used in the production of the cards.

5. If problems are experienced with a supplier’s product in the field an additional set of first article cards may be requested prior to further production orders.

6. Supplier’s test equipment may be different from the equipment used by Cubic. This will be accepted if the calibration of the equipment to be used can be traced back to the same set of standards.

7. Roll stock splice samples must be provided for first article testing.
