Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a fare settlement method in transportation facilities, and in particular,
You will be issued a transfer subsidy ticket from the first transportation facility you boarded, and when you use this transfer subsidy ticket to board the second transportation facility, you will be able to board your first ride at the second transportation facility's regular fare. Accurately settle the initial fare between the respective management entities of a first transportation facility and a second transportation facility in a system of an initial fare discount system that allows tickets to be issued with a discounted fare. Concerning how to pay fares for connecting rides.

[Conventional technology]

In general, within large cities, various transportation systems have developed, and a large number of different transportation systems such as buses, national railways, private railways, subways, malls, etc. have become intertwined in a complex manner. For this reason, it is rare for passengers to travel from a certain departure point to their destination using the same transport system, and passengers must change transport systems and use multiple transport systems at their discretion to obtain the shortest distance and time. People are now forced to change transport lines. Conventionally, in order to transfer to each transportation system, passengers purchased a ticket that could only be used for that system, and transferred two, three, or more times to reach their destination. In this case, the ticket paid for each transfer line you ride is a normal fare that includes the initial fare, and you are forced to pay the initial fare each time you ride multiple transfer lines. The total amount paid for the tickets was sometimes extremely high. For this reason, transit ticket issuing systems have been studied in recent years. This is considered as the total distance from the departure point to the destination point, and regardless of which transportation system is used, the initial fare and the total distance traveled are calculated. The idea is to set fares based on the distance traveled. According to this system, when you board the first transit system, you pay the regular fare, which includes the initial fare and an additional fee determined by the distance traveled, and have a ticket issued. When transferring to a transit system, the first fare is waived, and a ticket can be issued by paying only an additional fee depending on the distance traveled on the second transportation system. Therefore, even if you change transport lines many times, you only need to pay the initial fare once for the first transport line, and then pay only the additional fare that is calculated according to the distance traveled by discounting the initial fare. This is a good thing, and the total fare is discounted compared to the conventional method of issuing tickets for each transportation system, which is advantageous for passengers. However, in this case, it is extremely difficult to calculate the initial fare from the first transit system that you boarded at a later date, add up the number of passengers between the second and third transportation systems, adjust the initial fare, and then settle the payment. This problem was a major hindrance to actual operation. Conventionally, there have been cases in which consecutive tickets have been issued that allow transfers that can be used directly from the first transport system to the second and third transport systems. Issuing a ticket that clearly indicates the connecting point from the beginning,
After disembarking from the first transfer system, the passenger does not hand over the transfer ticket at the ticket gate, but leaves the ticket gate in possession and shows the ticket to the next second transfer system. It was possible to board the second transport system by just using the train. In this case, it is extremely easy to settle the initial fare and manage passengers, but on the other hand, there are many combinations of the destination points of the first transport system and the second transport system. However, they have the disadvantage that they are either extremely large or require multiple types of tickets to be prepared. For this reason, it is extremely simple and effective in simple cases where you need to transfer to a specific transport system rather than a specific transport system, but for example, in cases where multiple transport systems are complexly intermingled, such as at a terminal station. At such locations, there are dozens of combinations, and the number of ticket issuing devices is extremely large. ! [It was complicated and the device was large - for this reason, such ticket issuing devices often cannot be installed in extremely limited transportation systems such as springs and morrails, making them practically impossible to use.] It was something. In addition, in cases where many transportation systems such as 10 or 20 companies enter or depart from a terminal station, the types of transportation systems and the stations or boarding/alighting stations each transportation system has are Each stop must be clearly indicated on the ticket, and the number of combinations would be astronomical, making it practically impossible to implement.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention issues an auxiliary ticket for connecting passengers who can get a discount on the first boarding fare on the next transport system, and in exchange for this auxiliary ticket, We are trying to get passengers to issue discounted tickets for the 2nd transportation system and adopt a first-ride fare discount system. Then, in the second transfer system, the collected auxiliary Sakaki boarding tickets are collected, and by recording the information on the auxiliary boarding tickets, the number of people boarding the train is determined by which transport system. This allows the initial fare to be adjusted between the first transport system and the second transport system.

[Means for solving problems]

In the present invention, there is provided a first transport system group consisting of a plurality of management entities, each of which is independently operated, and a second transport system group which is different from the first transport system group. The first transportation system group operates its own transportation system, the second transportation system group also operates its own transportation system, and the first transportation system group operates its own transportation system. When you get off the train, you can use the connecting ticket that is issued to get you off the train.
In a system that issues tickets by discounting the initial fare from the regular fare of the transportation system group,
Each auxiliary transit ticket issued by the first transportation system group is provided with a magnetic stripe, and each magnetic stripe magnetically records the management entity that issued the auxiliary transit ticket. By reading and aggregating the recorded information from these transfer ticket supplements collected by the second transport system group, the initial boarding fare can be calculated between the first transport system group and the second transport system group. To provide a fare settlement method for a connecting ride, which is characterized in that the fare can be settled.

[Effect]

Passengers in possession of a transfer subsidy ticket issued for the first transfer system must present the transfer subsidy ticket to the counter that issues tickets for the second transfer system and receive the initial fare in exchange. A discounted ticket is issued, and the user uses the discounted ticket to board the second transportation system and ride to the destination point. The second transfer system collects and stocks these transfer tickets.7. Each of these transfer aid tickets magnetically records the name of the business entity that issued them, the name of the route, etc., so this information is magnetically collected from the transfer aid tickets collected at the counter. At a later date, by creating a settlement statement that totals the number of people boarding, route, etc. for each first transportation system, and performing the settlement between the first transportation system and the second transportation system,
You can make an accurate initial fare payment.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to illustrated embodiments.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing an outline of an embodiment of the present invention. In this example, a plurality of different business entities operate buses, and when you get off the bus, you can receive a ticket with a discount on the initial fare using the transit ticket, which is issued when you get off the bus. An example of riding a train using this ticket will be explained. In this case, buses IA, IB, and IC are operated by different business entities, and each bus company operates on an independent basis and has no capital affiliates. Bus IB runs from 2A to bus stop 3 and is operated by company B.
operates from bus stop 2B to bus stop 3, and bus IC operated by company C operates from bus stop 2C to bus stop 3. Therefore, although the starting points of the buses IA, IB, and IC are different, the bus stop 3 that is their terminal point is the same destination. Passengers who boarded these buses IA, IB, and IC go to bus stop 3, and when they get off the bus, they receive a transit ticket 5 from each bus LA, IB, and IC, At the counter at the boarding station 7, the passenger 4 carries the boarding subsidy ticket 5 and heads to the boarding station 7.The passenger 4 hands the transfer boarding subsidy ticket 5 to the counter at the boarding station 7 and pays the fare at the same time, thereby paying the initial boarding fare. The user picks up the discounted regular ticket 6, passes through the ticket gate at the boarding station 7 with the regular ticket 6 in his possession, gets on the train 8, and gets off at the destination station 9. D who operates this train 8
The company has no capital relationship with the bus companies A, B, and C and operates independently. Transfer ticket 5 issued by this bus IA, IB, IC
are each bus IA and IB.

It is issued when you get on the IC and pay the initial fare, and a magnetic stripe is attached to each part of the connecting board. Various information regarding the IC is magnetically recorded. Then, at the boarding station 7, all the transfer aids 5 are collected, information is collected from the collected transfer aids 5, and by collecting that information, it is possible to determine which bus IA, IB, IC. Companies A and B, which calculated whether or not the passengers who got off the train received the initial fare discount, and based on the results, issued a transit subsidy 5.
The company and company 0 each refund a portion of the basic fare included in the initial fare, and then settle the fare.

In this example, the first mode of transportation used is bus IA.

Next, the operation of the eleventh embodiment will be explained with reference to FIG.

Company A9 operates buses IA%IB and IC independently.
18 Companies 92.0 and 93 issue auxiliary transit tickets 5A, 5B, and 5C in exchange for fares, and give these subsidized transit tickets 5A, 5B, and 5G to passengers who desire them, respectively. After the buses IA, IB, and IC operate on their respective designated routes, their sales are collected at each business office, and the sales are collected by A Company 91.8, the management entity to which these buses LA, IB, and IC belong. Gathered into 92.0 company 93,
It will be stored here.

Next, the transfer supplementary tickets 5A, 5B, and 5C are each handed to the passenger, and these transfer supplementary tickets 5A, 5B, and 5C are each exchanged for a regular ticket 6 with a discounted initial fare. With this regular ticket 6, the passenger can board the train 8 operated by Company D. The transfer supplementary tickets 5A, 5B, and 5C that have been exchanged with the regular tickets 6 and collected are collected at the settlement center 94 of Company D, where they are sorted, tabulated, and settled. It turns out. In this case, the transfer ticket 5A collected at the calculation center 94 of Company D,
5B and 5C include individual tickets issued independently by companies A, B, and 0, as well as regular tickets 6 for passengers who boarded train 8 operated by company D. Therefore, from among the regular tickets 6, I selected the transfer supplementary ticket 5A.

It is necessary to select only 5B and 5C and further read the information recorded on these transfer supplementary tickets 5A, 5B, and 5C, respectively.

Then, when the calculation center 94 of Company D calculates these numbers, it is possible to find out which of Company A 91.8 Company 92.0 Company 93 has issued how many transfer subsidy tickets 5A, 5B, and 5C. It is possible to calculate how much of the initial fare discount Company D will claim from Company A91.8 Company92.0 Company93, which is the business entity that operates each bus IA, IB, and IC. . For this reason, Company D's calculation center 94 requests each company weekly or monthly settlement statements 96.97.
98 and sent these settlement statements 96, 97, and 98 to Company A 91.8 Company 92.0 Company 93, respectively.
This allows Company A, Company B, Company 0, and Company D to share the initial fare and complete the settlement process.

Next, the operation of sorting and tabulating the collected transit ride supplementary tickets 5A, 5B, and 5-C at the calculation center 94 of Company D will be explained.

Company D's calculation center 94 collects from each station a mixture of transfer supplementary tickets 5 and regular tickets 6, and the width of the transfer supplementary tickets 5 is S. , the normal ticket 6 has a width T, and S is set narrower than T. First, the above-mentioned sorting device is set to the state shown in FIG. 5, in which the aforementioned sorting device selects only the transit ticket auxiliary ticket 5, and the mixed transit ticket 5 and regular ticket 6 are separated. Pour into the shake 25 from the upper opening. Then, both are guided by the chute 25 and stored inside the sorting drum 31 in the sorting section 21. A predetermined amount of auxiliary transfer tickets: 5, regular tickets: 6
When the switch on the panel of the information processing unit 23 is turned on after the samples have been stored in the sorting drum 31, the motor 34 starts, rotates the drive shaft 33, and moves the sorting drum 31 in the direction of arrow F in FIG. Rotate.

Therefore, the sorting drum 31 is connected to the sliding plate 5 of the shape sorting mechanism 38.
7. Let the enlarged ends a and b of 58 be the tips of rotation,
It rotates with the discharge port 62 as the rear end of rotation,
The mixed transfer supplementary ticket 5 and regular ticket 6 are slid on the inner peripheral surface of the sorting drum 31, and due to their weight are always positioned below the sorting drum 31 and come into contact with the sliding plate 57.5. By doing so, the waste is scraped in the direction of the discharge port 62. In other words, the transfer ticket 5 and the regular ticket 6 slide on the inner peripheral surface of the sorting drum 31 regardless of their shape, and the two-tank moving plates 57 and 58 have large openings on the left and right sides.
The flow direction is regulated by the two tank moving plates 5.
7.5 days gradually directed towards the defined center. In this way, the transfer ticket 5 and the regular ticket 6 flow toward the center of each shape sorting mechanism 38, and both are always collected between the pair of sliding plates 57, 58.

The transfer supplementary ticket 5 and regular ticket 6 collected between the sliding plates 57 and 58 flow on the tongue portion 55 and flow to the discharge port 62, but 1. This discharge port 62 is previously formed to have a predetermined length V, and only the small-shaped transfer ticket 5 passes through the discharge port 62 and is discharged to the outside of the sorting drum 31. However, since the regular ticket 6, which is larger in shape than the transfer ticket 5, is larger than the cross-sectional shape of the ejection port 62, the sliding plates 57 and 58 on both sides are disposed in front of the ejection port 62.
Either it gets caught in the filter, or it flows as it is and is lifted up by the information at the discharge port 62, so it does not pass through the discharge port 62 and remains in the sorting drum 31. The transfer ticket 5 discharged from the discharge port 62 onto the outer periphery of the sorting drum 31 enters the space of the U-shaped cross section of the ring portion 44 of the collection guide 40, slides on the inner peripheral surface of the ring portion 44, and falls. The liquid then falls into the first transfer mechanism 73 through the discharge port 48 opened at the bottom of the chute portion 46 .

Next, the transfer mechanisms 73 and 74 in FIGS. 7 and 8 are each operated by a driving source, and the transfer ticket 5 released from the release port 48 is conveyed by the belt, and the removal mechanism 78 and the distribution mechanism 79, alignment mechanism 80, peeling mechanism 8
The transit ticket auxiliary ticket 5 which has been deformed by passing through the terminal 1 is removed, and the transit ticket 5 which has become a single ticket is transmitted to the reader 77. In the reader 77, there is a transfer ticket 5.
The magnetic head comes into contact with the magnetic stripe 17 and reads the information stored in the magnetic stripe 17. After reading, the transfer ticket 5 is discharged onto the belt 71, and sent to the shredder 72 by the belt 71. , shredded so that it cannot be reused. The information read by the magnetic head of this reader 77 is magnetically stored in the memory of the computer, and each data in the data format shown in FIG. They are classified by company, and their publication dates and fees are statistically aggregated.

For this reason, it is possible to determine which bus companies A, 91.8, 92.0 and 92.0, 93 buses of which the passengers who got off the bus used the transfer supplementary tickets 5A, 5B, and 5C. It can be identified at a glance.

Next, the sorting drum 31 is rotated in the direction of arrow F for a predetermined period of time to eject all the transfer ticket auxiliary tickets 5 and the regular tickets 6.
remains in the motor 34 using a timer etc.
is stopped, and then the motor 34 is driven in the reverse direction to reversely rotate the sorting drum 31 in the direction of arrow G, and the normal ticket 6 is
are mixed by sliding in the sorting drum 31. Therefore, the regular ticket 6 flows toward the center of the shape sorting mechanism 37 in the same manner as described above, and the regular ticket 6 passes through the discharge port 61 and is ejected to the outside of the sorting drum 31, and is guided by the collection drum 31. 39 enters the space of the U-shaped cross section of the ring part 43, slides on the inner peripheral surface of this ring part 43, flows to the chute part 45, and the discharge port 47 opened at the lower part of the chute part 45 due to its own weight.
The regular tickets 6 that are released further downward are placed on the belt 67, and are sequentially released onto the belt 70 from the end of the belt 67 as the belt 67 moves.

The regular ticket 6 placed on the belt 70 is transferred in the direction of the arrow in the figure, and is placed on the belt 70 from its end, and is cut by the shredder 72 from the belt 71 and recycled. Make it unusable.

In this way, by rotating the sorting drum 31, the transfer supplementary ticket 5 and the regular ticket 6 are sorted and separated, and the individual information stored in the transfer supplementary ticket 5 is read by the reader 77.

After driving the motor 34 for a predetermined period of time, when no ordinary ticket 6 remains on the sorting drum 31, the motor 34 is stopped to complete the sorting and reading operation. This selection drum 3
When the rotation of the drum 1 is stopped, waste paper and
Items that cannot be sorted, such as banknotes and defective tickets, will remain. When this series of sorting operations is completed, in order to perform the next new sorting operation, the inside of the sorting drum 31 must be cleaned. As shown in FIG. 6, the side surface of the sorting drum 31 is exposed, and the unsortable members are removed from the sorting drum 31 by inserting your hand into the sorting drum 31 through the opening of the stop plate 32 or by using a vacuum suction machine. Take it outside.

Also, since paper powder is scattered in various parts of the device, open the hatches 26 and 27 upwards, open the door 28 laterally,
Insert the suction tube of the vacuum suction machine into each part of the device to remove these dust, pieces of paper, paper dust, etc. And the opening/closing door 24
By closing the hatches 26, 27, and the opening/closing door 28 to the state shown in FIG. 5, preparations can be made for the next sorting and tabulation work.

〔Effect of the invention〕

Since the present invention is configured as described above, passengers who get off the train from the first group can receive a discount on their initial fare when boarding the second group using the transfer ticket. It is possible to effectively implement a first-ride fare discount system in the Obe City area, which has a well-developed transportation network. In addition, since the collected transfer aid tickets are stored with specific information about the company that issued them, after collecting these transit aid tickets, by reading and aggregating the information, It is possible to easily settle the share of the initial ride fare allocated to each company in the group of the first transport system to which the initial fare is applied, and even when multiple transportation modes are mixed, these initial ride fares can be easily settled. This makes it extremely easy to adjust the allocation.
