Definitions

  • This device relates to h accurate and precise journey costing for travellers.
  • pre-paid cards involves the need to purchase new ones on expiry or regeneration of codes on the smart cards and they may expire at the wrong time. Credit and bank cards may not always be available to every passenger.
  • the journey recording device will allow for each journey to be charged precisely with regard to the time of day, starting and finishing points.
  • the cost will be farer for the passenger and the system will provide accurate analysis for the operator to stream line the services. It will allow a just method of sharing costs between different operators for common passengers.
  • the devices may be used by operators using buses, trams, underground, trains, taxis or hire cabs. These devices will enable the operators individually or collectively to centralise the journey cost per passenger per journey.
  • the technique involves issuing a uniquely identified card to each passenger together with a small portable transmitter see Fig 1.
  • the passenger on starting a journey will supply the JRD with his/her card through the card slot (D) and presses the transmitter switch on the personal transmitter.
  • the JRD will check the unique card id (passenger id), and the transmitted code against an internal list of invalid cards, record in ram (U) and on the internal backing storage device (L) the passenger id, device id, service number, journey point, date, journey start time. If the passenger id is valid price and print a ticket and any information for the passenger on (C), display information for the operator through the operator interface (H) and signal the entry /exit doors interface (J) to open.
  • a message will be displayed for the passenger on (C) and on the operator 10 interface (H) with an audible bleep on (C)
  • the camera (T) will be used to take a photographic image of the passenger which will be recorded on the video recorder (V) and on the internal backing storage device (L), both the camera image and the holders image from the card will be displayed for the operator via the operator 10 interfaced! and the device will await operator control.
  • the process will be repeated when the passenger finishes the journey and the journey end record will be completed by recording the journey end details in ram (U) and on the backing storage device (L).
  • the devices will be placed at all entry/exit points enabling passengers to embark/disembark from different locations.
  • a luggage switch (B) will be used by the passengers to open the doors for longer period and an additional passenger switch (A) will permit additional passengers on the same passenger id.
  • the operator through the operator interface (H) will have access to the device to overcome erroneous or difficult situations.
  • the device When the doors are open the device will monitor the passage clear detector interface (I) for a signal to close the entry /exit doors through the interface (J).
  • the device will have a printer, speaker and display unit (C) to indicate help or fault messages to the passenger.
  • Current device and journey details will be displayed through the operators interface (H).
  • the printer will have two rolls of paper one copy for the passenger and one for the record. It will also be used to print specific information for specific passenger id's.
  • the use of a personal transmitter and an identification card is for additional security against lost/stolen transmitters or cards.
  • the use of the camera(s) (T) and video recorder (V) will deter the use of borrowed or stolen cards and prevent vandalism in general.
  • the cards can be based on invisible optical or magnetic character recognition or a built in micro chip. Magnetic, optical and micro chip cards can have extensive pre-recorded details on the holder including finger prints. Journey details may be recorded on them as they occur. However cards with bar codes may be used but recording of data will not be possible. All cards will include a visible or an invisible image of the holder. The card will be submitted to the JRD through the interface (D).
  • the passenger id will be transmitted to the JRD through a small and easy to carry wireless transmitter possibly located in a key ring, pen, necklace, bracelet, ring or a watch. Communicating with the JRD through the wireless interface (E).
  • the operator by issuing reserved codes can enter the control module where all operational and communicational parameters and settings will be modifiable through the software switches.
  • the settings may be saved, ignored or reset to dip switch (Q) values.
  • the operator may also set parameters which will enable the JRD to read the settings from the communication links (F or O), the smart card interface(D), the removable backing storage device(K), or through the wireless transmissions of setting data packets via the interface (E).
  • the dip switches (Q) will allow permanent hard settings for the device. The settings will revert to the default dip switch (Q) values when the battery (S) is removed.
  • the device id may be altered, time out delay before re-transmitting and number of retries before aborting. Wavelength and frequency of operation along with other similar operational data would be adjustable for the wireless interface(E).
  • the type and format of the information to be recorded on the backing storage device (L) for each journey may be modified.
  • the device enable function set on/off/timed.
  • the passenger and luggage switches (A & B ) may be enabled/ disabled/ placed under operator control. Ticket printing set on entry/ on exit/ entry & exit or off. Internal ticket pricing enabled/disabled.
  • the pricing policy will be adjustable with regard to time, length of journey.
  • the camera (T) and video (V) may be set on/ofi7placed under operator control but both will be on if the JRD fails or an invalid card inserted.
  • the devices may be set to be active only at stop points and for a short period thereafter.
  • the card interface (D) set to process magnetic, optical, chip or bar code based cards.
  • the communication protocols for any of the interface ports such as handshaking, half/ full duplex, synchronous/ asynchronous, baud rate, packets:formats,codes and size, error checking on/off/type, where relevant will be adjustable.
  • the system diagram simply indicates the various interfaces which will be required.
  • the design has not been defined further since there are many different internal and external layouts capable of achieving all the functions described herein.
  • This switches is for indicating travel of additional passengers on the same card
  • This switches is for opening the doors for a longer period to permit movement of large luggage pieces.
  • the passenger interface with a display for error, help or information messages, a printer and a speaker.

  • Further by adding a signal to indicate the number of passengers who have embarked the devices will await the same number of passenger id's and if not inserted within a reasonable time will generate an alarm on the operators io interface (H). In this case the devices may not be situated at the entry/exit points and will not require the doors interface (J) and the passage clear signal(I) .

Abstract

Système conçu pour être utilisé dans des moyens de transport payants tels que l'autobus, le tram, le train, le métro, les taxis ou autres, en particulier afin d'enregistrer le trajet effectués par des passagers empruntant des véhicules équipés d'un tel système au cours d'une certaine période. Les détails se rapportant au trajet sont rassemblés dans un ordinateur hôte avec des données similaires provenant d'autres dispositifs, et on demande alors aux passagers de régler le coût du trajet.
