'''Touch&Travel''' was a program at [[Deutsche Bahn]] I was involved with when I worked there

On January 6, 2011, right on schedule, Deutsche Bahn released the beta of the Touch&Travel iPhone application. The architecture of how the application fit into their existing system was right how I had designed it over the summer. They made some tweaks to the UI, but ~80% of the UI was as I had designed it. Some of the artwork I prepared over the summer even made it into the application.

In particular I am happy that they took my icons for the check in methods. It would be so cool if those icons would be printed in stations and/or added to their style manual. Germany corporations, including Deutsche Bahn, are some of the great patrons of modern typography and modernist design. I would be honored if my work was a part of that.

 '''Touch&Travel''' was a program at [[Deutsche Bahn]] I was involved with when I worked there.  Touch&Travel lets people pay for the train using their cell phones.  A user could "check in" at their departure station, travel on Deutsche Bahn and partner systems, "check out" at their destination, and then receive a monthly bill with their travel costs automatically calculated.  Before I joined, the program was a 3-year pilot using [[NFC]] technology.  However, at the time NFC technology was only available on Nokia "feature" flip phones.
 ==My work==
 I re-imagined Touch&Travel to work with smartphones.  I started by designing the UI.  I made a pie-in-the-sky version and a more realistic version.  I also designed how the app could work securely without NFC.  The app can use either geolocation, 3D barcodes, or a simple stop number to allow users to check in.  This is then validated with network-based location services from the carrier (with user permission, of course!).
