JPH0415780A - Boarding/alighting controller for public transportation - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the illicit boarding/alighting actions between a station out of a prescribed range and a station within the prescribed range by securing the correlated operations between an entrance controller and a go-out controller. CONSTITUTION:A user holds a season ticket K and a passenger ticket K1 and enters a station A with the ticket K1. When the user gets on a train at the station A and then gets off the train at a station I, the trouble ticket K is put into a reading part 19 of a go-out controller 3. The part 19 scans a magnetic stripe MS of the ticket K to read the prescribed range information and the normal entrance information. The reading result of the part 19 is sent to a deciding part 20 by a 2nd control part 17. The presence or absence of the normal entrance information is decided at the part 20. When the part 20 decide the absence of the normal entrance information, a go-out deciding means 22 decides the user as an illicit one and inhibits the user from going out of the station I. Thus the illicit get-on/get-off actions can be prevented between a station out of a prescribed range and a station within the prescribed range.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Objective of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention is intended for use in the field of transportation such as railways, buses, ships, etc., when a user who has a ticket indicating the range in which he or she can board or disembark from a military vessel is provided The present invention relates to a transportation boarding and alighting management device that is applied when purchasing tickets from outside the specified range to within the specified range.

(Prior art) Conventionally, the boarding and disembarking areas within the specified range were referred to as stations outside the stipulated range (hereinafter, the place where you board and disembark the military ship was referred to as a "station", and the boarding tickets that specified the range of boarding and disembarking on the military ship were referred to as "existing issued media"). When going to ``Tokyo'', an automatic payment machine calculated the fare from the shortest station within the specified range to the station you got off at and issued a payment ticket, allowing you to participate at the regular fare. On the other hand, if you go from a station outside the specified range to a station within the specified range, you can buy a ticket at the fare to the shortest station outside the specified range, get on the train, and get off using the already-issued ticket, resulting in a fraudulent fare. It becomes possible to ride.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As mentioned above, conventionally, when boarding a train at a station outside the specified range and getting off at a station within the specified range using a previously issued There was no way to determine whether the fee had been paid or not. As a result, boarding at illegal fares is allowed, which creates unfairness between users and those who pay regular fares, and also reduces revenue for railway operators because they are not paid the fares they should be paying. Therefore, the present invention provides a transportation boarding and alighting management device that can prevent fraud when boarding and alighting from a station outside the specified range to a station within the specified range, and can earn legitimate income. The purpose is to

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides transportation boarding and alighting management that manages boarding and alighting from stations outside the specified range to stations within the specified range based on already published media in which the specified range is recorded. The apparatus includes an entrance control device for stations outside the specified range and an exit control device for stations within the specified range, and the admission control device includes reading means for reading specified range information of the already published medium. and issuing means for issuing a medium from a station outside the specified range to the shortest station within the specified range based on the reading result of the reading means and a predetermined fee; and a recording means for recording regular admission information on the issued medium, and the participation management device includes a determining means for determining whether or not regular admission information is present in the already issued medium, and a determining means for determining the presence or absence of the regular admission information on the already published medium, and a recording means for recording the regular admission information on the already issued medium, and a discriminating means for determining the presence or absence of the regular admission information on the already published medium. and participation determination means for determining whether or not a user of the medium can participate.

(for production) The operation of the apparatus having the above configuration will be explained below.

The reading means of the entrance control device at the station outside the specified range takes in the already published media and reads the specified range information.

Next, the issuing means issues a medium from a station outside the specified range to the shortest station within the specified range based on the reading result of the reading means and a predetermined fee from the user.

Further, the recording means records regular admission information on the already issued medium based on the issuing processing result of the issuing means.

After this, when the user takes the medium and the already issued medium and reaches a station within the specified range and inserts the already issued medium into the participation management device, the determination means determines whether or not there is regular admission information for this already issued medium. Discern.

When this determination means determines that there is regular admission information,
The participation determining means determines whether the user can participate, and when it is determined that there is no regular admission information, the participation determining means determines whether the user cannot participate.

(Example) Examples of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

First, with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, we will explain the means of transportation that connects stations A to ①, and commuter passes as already issued media that cover stations E to I within the specified range.

On the commuter pass K shown in Figure 3, information such as the specified range of E station - ■ station, date information indicating the validity period, user name information, etc. are displayed in text, and this information is also displayed on the magnetic stripe MS. is recorded in the form of magnetic information.

Users of this commuter pass can freely board and alight between stations E and I shown in FIG. 2 within a specified range.

Next, the boarding management device 1 of this embodiment will be explained with reference to FIG.

This boarding/disembarkation management device 1 is outside the range stipulated in the commuter pass.
An entrance control device 2 installed at each of the station to the station, an exit control device (for example, an automatic ticket gate) 3 installed at each of the E station to I station within the specified range, and both the above management devices 2 and 3. It is equipped with a central monitoring device 4 that performs overall monitoring and control.

The admission management device 2 is equipped with a first control means 7 consisting of a program memory 5 and a first control section 6, and allows the first control section 6 to input and discharge information into the commuter pass, as well as to perform the following operations. Based on the reading means 8 which reads the recorded information of the magnetic stripe MS on the commuter pass, and the reading result of this reading means 8,
and an issuing means 9 that takes in a predetermined fare from the user and issues 1 (see Figure 4) to the ticket as a medium, and a magnetic stripe MS on the commuter pass taken in by the reading means 8. A recording means 10 for recording regular admission information, a display means 11 for displaying charges, and a first interface 12 for transmitting and receiving information with the central monitoring device 4 are connected to each other.

The issuance means 9 is a section calculation section that calculates a section fare from a station outside the specified range (for example, A station) to a station within the specified range (for example, E station) under the control of the first control section 6. 13, a fee processing unit 14 that processes the fee inputted by the user into the admission management device 2, a reading result of the reading means 8, a calculation result of the two section calculation unit 13, and a processing result of the fee processing unit 14. , for example, a media issuing unit 15 that issues 1 to a ticket from A station to E station.

The participation management device 3 includes a second control means 18 consisting of a program memory 16 and a second control section 17.

The second control unit 17 includes a reading unit 19 that reads the magnetic stripe MS on the commuter pass inserted into the attendance management device 3, and a function that determines the presence or absence of the regular admission information based on the reading result of the reading unit 19. A determining means 21 consisting of a determining section 20 is connected.

Furthermore, the second control unit 17 includes a participation determination means 22 that determines whether or not a user can participate in the commuter pass based on the determination result of the determination means 21, and information information between the central monitoring device 4 and A second interface 23 that performs transmission and reception is connected.

Next, the operation of the boarding/disembarking management device 1 having the above configuration will be explained by taking as an example a case where a user of a commuter pass gets on the train at station A, which is outside the specified range, and gets off at station (2), which is within the specified range.

The user inserts his or her commuter pass K into the admission control device 2 installed at A station. The reading means 8 of the admission control device 2 scans the magnetic stripe MS on the inserted commuter pass to read the specified range information such as E station-■ station, and sends the reading result to the first control unit 6. Furthermore, the reading result is sent to the section calculation unit 13, where it is determined that the specified range of the commuter pass is E station - ■ station, and the user's required fare is the fare for A station - E station. The calculated fee information is sent to the display means 11 via the first control section 6 and displayed.

When the user who sees this display inputs the required fee into the fee processing unit 14, the media issuing unit 1
5 is 1 on the ticket marked with station A-E as shown in Figure 4.
Issue.

At this time, under the control of the first control unit 6 which has received the processing result of the fare processing unit 14, the recording unit 10 records regular admission information indicating regular admission on the magnetic stripe MS of the commuter pass. Record.

After this, the commuter pass is returned to the user.

It should be noted that the above-described operations in the admission management device 2 may be performed not only by the user's own operation but also by an attendant's operation.

Next, the user holds the commuter pass K and the train ticket with a 1 on it, and enters the station A with the 1 on the ticket.

Next, when the user gets on the train at station A and wants to get off the train at station 2, he inserts his commuter pass K into the reading section 19 of the participation management device 3. This reading section 19 scans the magnetic stripe MS on the commuter pass and reads the specified range information and regular admission information.

The reading result of the reading section 19 is sent by the second control section 17 to the determining section 20, where it is determined whether or not there is regular admission information.

The determination result of the determination unit 20 is sent by the second control unit 17 to the participation determination means 22, and if there is regular admission information, the participation determination means 22 regards the user as an authorized user and leaves the station. will be allowed to participate.

On the other hand, when the discriminating section 20 determines that there is no regular admission information, the participation determining means 22 considers the user to be an unauthorized user based on the determination result, and disallows the user from exiting from station (1).

In the case of a manned ticket gate that does not have an automatic ticket gate, it is also possible to install a device that only determines the authenticity of the entry, and to obtain other information visually.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention described in detail above, due to the related operations of the entrance control device and the exit control device, it is possible to reliably prevent fraud when boarding or alighting from a station outside the specified range to a station within the specified range.
