Architecture for national-scale transport programmes.

6+ Years at NTA
5 Design Authorities Chaired
PCI/P2PE Certified Payment Architecture

Why transport technology architecture requires independent oversight.

Transport technology failures are public. A broken ticketing rollout, a payment system that goes out of PCI scope, or a vehicle tracking platform that cannot be maintained by the supplier cost programmes months of recovery time and damage public trust.

National transport schemes involve multiple concurrent workstreams, multi-supplier contracts, and regulatory obligations that interact in ways no single supplier can fully own. Transport technology architecture covers the design of systems that move people: ticketing platforms, real-time vehicle tracking, passenger information, regulatory systems, and the IoT field device networks that underpin them.

Transport Architecture Workstreams

Next Generation Ticketing

Account-based ticketing architecture, PCI/P2PE payment compliance, mobile and web applications, field validators, and AWS-hosted cloud services for national transport programmes.

In practice: Design Authority and enterprise architecture for NTA's NGT programme, covering validators, on-bus devices, Leap Card integration, and P2PE payment processing.

Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL)

Real-time vehicle tracking data streams, GTFS-RT feed generation, passenger information systems, and GPRS/4G field device integration across bus fleets.

In practice: Solution architecture for NTA central AVL platform, connecting on-bus GPS units with stop displays and third-party journey planners.

Licensing & Regulatory Systems

High-volume citizen transaction platforms, identity verification, biometrics integration, and core back-office architecture for driver licensing and vehicle regulation.

In practice: Architecture lead for NDLS driver licensing platform, modernising core licensing workflows and secure payment processing.

TFI Coverage Map Platform

Unified real-time multi-modal transit architecture integrating Irish Rail, Luas, bus routes, and Dublin Bikes with GTFS-Realtime tracking and stop accessibility audits.

In practice: Live multi-modal transit map with sub-50ms query latency, true schedule reconciliation, and digital wallet ticket pass conversion →
