The project consists of a cloud based e-ticketing platform (currently a web application).The platform has 2 main features:1) it easily allows to integrate (via APIs) in the website of the company (leaning on the ticketing service) customized forms for the issuance of the tickets. The form structure depends on the category of the service the company wants to provide to its customers.2) it implements a system for the control of automated accesses that combines the IoT and cloud paradigms to the usage of several technologies such as ALPR, NFC, QR code. Currently there are 4 roles of users:1) Partner: a company offering services to be consumed by a ticket validation,2) Customer: the user the tickets are issued to,3) Checker: when only a phisical validation is required it’s the role delegated to check the ticket validity,4) BoxOfficer: the user delegated to manual ticket emission.Finally an extra Admin role (administartion, monitoring, etc.) Some technical details:Web applicationdeveloped in .NET (c#),using multi-tier architecture,exposing Web APIs (currently only for the part dealing with automated access control).Automated access control systembuilt on Raspberry Pi2 clients (java SE embedded),implementing a small REST server (for remote control).The software running in the R Pi2 is already capable to interact with a turnstile NFC reader (see http://www.ivreasistemi.it/site/dettaglio.php?id_noticia=4#.Vx8wHTCLSUl) and an ALPR camera (see http://www.tattile.com/vision-systems/traffic-division/anpr-cameras/vega-access-control-camera/).The usage of R Pi2 as client allows to implement a lowcost but effective and reliable solution to handle the control of automated access
