Aspects described include operational, service and technolgical impacts. Some information is provided on the fare transaction data flow and on the functional architecture of the IP system taking into account the AVL environment. Finally some comments on the role of the short-range device in the overall ATT scenario currently operated in the Florence urban area are provided underlying the role of each system.
