Contactless smart cards can be used as electronic tickets, helping to improve speed and convenience and aiding the realisation of new public transport products and flexible strategies. The KONTIKI working group aims to analyse technological and applicationrelated developments, to develop practical application options for public transport, and to use these as the basis for recommendations to transport companies and associations. The idea is that users, manufacturers, consultants, associations and organisations work together to create interdisciplinary solutions. The working group is now active across Europe.
Work is carried out in subgroups, and the results are presented centrally. The working group also acts as a point of contact and consulting body to potential users of future smart card projects. Contact address:

A further group of companies, the Low Power Radio Association (LPRA), is concerned with low power radio systems. The LPRA was established in 1990 in the United Kingdom as the voice of the ‘low power radio’ industry. Now some 200 companies from around the world belong to LPRA. In addition to RFID, the association also deals with other radio services such as telemetry, cordless audio, Bluetooth, etc.

14.1.3 RFID on the internet
A collection of links to RFID companies and further interesting pages on this subject is available at the following internet addresses:
http://rfid-handbook.de/links
http://members.surfbest.net/eaglesnest/rfidweb.htm
http://home.att.net/ randall.j.jackson/rfidlinks.htm
A good overview of the current state of standardisation, the work of AIM, and a comprehensive overview of companies is provided by the RFID homepage of AIM:
http://www.aimglobal.org/technologies/rfid
The monthly RFID Newsletter of AIM, which is sent out by email free of charge, is also recommended. Old editions are available on the following page:
http://www.aimglobal.org/technologies/rfid/newsletter/RFID Newsletter Issues.htm
Technical specifications and information on the current state of standardisation of auto-ID systems of all types (barcode, RFID, etc.) are available on the official AutoID homepage:
http://www.autoid.org
Current information about new developments and products in the field of RFID and EAS, a summary of the most important RFID patents, and an introduction to the

technical principles of the most important RFID procedures can be found in Transponder News:
http://rapidttp.co.za/transponder
http://rapidttp.com/transponder
A collection of press releases and articles on all RFID subjects can be found on the following homepage:
http://rfidjournal.com
The RFID Bulletin Board is available as a discussion forum on the internet. The purpose of the RFID Bulletin Board is to serve as a neutral forum for the free exchange of information between RFID users, developers and all those interested in the subject of RFID. Questions, contributions and discussions on technical and commercial topics relating to RFID, event notices, questions on applications, standardisation of RFID, etc. are permitted and welcomed:
http://rfid-handbook.de/forum
RFID is also being discussed in numerous usenet news groups. A quick overview can be obtained by using the usenet search function at google.com (enter ‘rfid OR contactless’ as the search expression):
