Method And System For Fare Collection And Validation On A Transportation Network
Patent No. EP3172722 (titled "Method And System For Fare Collection And Validation On A Transportation Network") was filed by Adom Intelligent Transport on Dec 9, 2014. The application was issued on Jul 19, 2023.
Patent Summary
A fare collection and validation system for a multi-provider transportation network comprises vehicles equipped with unique identifiers and location-determining devices, and a central server. For each journey, the server receives a first message from a user's mobile device containing the mobile device identifier and the vehicle identifier, then creates a corresponding journey file. The server queries the specific vehicle, receiving a second message with the vehicle's identity and current location. Using this location and vehicle identifier, the server determines the embarkation station, updates the journey file, and transmits a journey onset confirmation to the mobile device. Finally, the server calculates the fare based on the embarkation station and adds this fare to the journey file.
