Research Summary

Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) systems are widely used in public transportation systems to streamline ticketing and revenue collection processes. AFC systems typically consist of a combination of hardware and software components designed to automate fare collection and processing. Hardware components of an AFC system typically include fare gates and validators that can accept various forms of payment, such as contactless smart cards, mobile app payments, and credit/debit cards. These devices communicate with the central system to verify the validity of the payment, and open the gate if the payment is approved. Software components of an AFC system typically include a central database that stores information on fares, routes, and customers, as well as management tools for monitoring and analyzing data related to fare collection and system performance. Ticket vending machines, customer service kiosks, and mobile apps also typically integrate with the central system to provide customers with a variety of ways to purchase and use transportation tickets. Benefits of AFC systems include reduced labor costs associated with manual fare collection, improved passenger flow and customer satisfaction, and better revenue management and control. Additionally, AFC systems can allow for real-time monitoring of passenger usage patterns and route efficiency, which can be used to improve public transportation services.
