KDE PIM/KItinerary/Trenitalia Barcode: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 11:52, 11 May 2019

always 67 bytes
exactly for one passenger/leg
does not seem to contain signatures, checksums or compression, based on minimal bit pattern changes on adjacent tickets
a lot less null bytes when PNR/seat reservation are present (ie. highspeed train tickets?)
there is a unique, globally sequential ticket number, 2017 in the 600M range, 2019 in the 1B range, which suggests 32bit might be a bit short for this

Byte:Bit (MSB)	Content	Meaning	Notes
0:0 - 4:7	0x20 0x14 0xC2 0x08 0x10	header?	fixed value in all samples
5:0 - 7:7		date?	varies between samples
8:0 - 13:4	null
13:5 - 14:3	100 xxxx		0000 for Italian stations codes (UIC 83.....), 0111 for international destination?
14:4 - 17:3	24 bit uint	UIC station code of departure	only for Italian destinations apparently
17:4 - 18:2	100 xxxx		see above
18:3 - 21:2	24 bit uint	UIC station code of arrival	see above
21:3 - 22:1		unknown	22:1 seems 0 in all samples, the rest varies
22:2 - 24:1	16 bit uint	train number	could be as little as 14 bits too, no train number > 16k has been observed
24:3 - 29:7	null
30:0 - 31:1			null if no PNR present, content unknown
31:2 - 32:0	7 bit uint	seat number	seat row for trains with an airplane-like numbering scheme
32:1 - 32:2		unknown
32:3 - 32:6	4 bit uint	seat column as hex number	0 for trains without an airplane-like numbering scheme
32:7 - 38:7			null if no PNR present, content unknown
39:0 -42:7	null
40:0 - 50:7			null if no PNR present, unknown content otherwise
51:0 - 57:7	0x0B 0x65 0x23 0x18 0x40 0xE6 0xC0		fixed in all samples?
58:0 - 58:3	null		might be part of the ticket number?
58:4 - 62:3	32 bit uint	ticket number
63:4 - 65:7	null
66:0 - 66:7			varies between samples

there is one sample where the departure and arrival UIC station codes are equal, contrary to what's in the corresponding PDF
for international destinations the station code does not actually seem to be a valid UIC station code, but there is only one sample to back this up so far
