Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority Selects Oracle to Support Automated Ticket Validation Services Initiative

Innowave Technology to Develop SOA-Based Solution using Oracle(R) Fusion Middleware

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., July 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

-- Today Oracle announced that Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority (CCJPA), which manages an Amtrak intercity passenger train service in eight Northern California counties, has selected Oracle® SOA Suite, a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware, to serve as the foundation of its Automated Ticket Validation Services initiative.

-- Serving 16 stations along a 170-mile rail corridor, CCJPA offers a convenient way to travel between the Sierra Foothills, Sacramento, the San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley/San Jose, Calif.

-- Committed to continually improving customer service and security, CCJPA plans to launch California's first real-time ticket sales and validation system on its trains. The system, scheduled to go live in 2009, will be powered by Oracle software including Oracle SOA Suite, Oracle Database and Oracle Real Application Clusters on Linux.

-- Once the Automated Ticket Validation Services program is live, CCJPA conductors will use hand held scanners to validate and sell tickets to customers on the train, improving security with the ability to track when passengers board and exit the train. The scanners will utilize Web and business process execution language (BPEL) based services to link CCJPA and Amtrak's IT systems.

-- Innowave, a Certified Partner in the Oracle PartnerNetwork, will help CCJPA implement the Oracle-based program.
