CLEAR SYSTEMS : E-Ticketing for RIAT 2011



	Clear Systems were invited by RAF Charitable Trust Enterprises to provide a validation system for E-Tickets from their ticketing web site for the Royal International Air Tattoo - RIAT 2011. We used our expertise in attendance recording, data collection and database systems to provide a robust real-time validation system in a challenging environment. The requirement was to validate the tickets, printed by the visitors, and presented to admissions volunteers at three entrance gates spread across a large venue - RAF Fairford.
		It was important to RAF CTE that the validation status of any ticket was available in real-time to all other admissions volunteers. So we provided WiFi enabled Barcode Portable Data Collection Terminals (PDTs). The PDTs validated the E-Tickets by calling a UniVerse database remote procedure on one of three linked database servers, one per gate. There was also a ticket search & validate application at each gate. Given the nature of the event, we designed the system to be resilient in the face of possible network or other hardware failure.
	RAF CTE require post event data analysis and statistics. These are provided by Clear Systems reporting applications using the UniVerse multi-dimensional database - chosen for its resilience, efficiency, scaleablity and adaptability. Around 3,500 volunteers contribute to the success of RIAT every year. The UniVerse database is a Rocket Software product. Clear Systems is an authorised re-seller of CipherLab equipment. The Royal International Air Tattoo, RIAT, is the world's largest annual military airshow.
