Abstract
The main advantages and disadvantages of conventional and intelligent ticketing systems and possible positive outcomes when introducing intelligent transport solutions ‐ namely smart cards or e‐ticketing instead of conventional ones (paper tickets and magnetic cards) are analysed in the paper. Two ideas of creating an intelligent ticketing system in an urban public transport are scrutinized. The first is electronic ticket and related equipment, the second ‐ e‐ticket and functional areas of it. In the article analysis has also been made on practical outcomes related with introduction of smart cards and e‐ticketing. Practical tests and trials as well as a subsequent implementation of electronic tickets have proved unchallenged advantages of contactless smart cards against the contact ones. Nevertheless, a new age of modern technologies calls even for more effective solutions ‐ namely virtual‐ticketing systems that might be achieved through introduction of mobile technologies. Therefore, the main focus in the paper is made on the analysis of e-ticket.
Highlights
A huge potential of intelligent transport systems (ITS) to provide solutions for public transport is highly recognized [1]
The intelligent transport systems in public transport encompass a different type of wireless and wireline communications – based information, control and electronics technologies integrated into public transport system [3]
Intelligent transport systems in an urban public transport might be briefly described as the systems of means to achieve sustainable, safe, environmental friendly and qualitative urban public transportation by applying advanced information and communication technologies
Summary
A huge potential of intelligent transport systems (ITS) to provide solutions for public transport is highly recognized [1]. The intelligent transport systems in public transport encompass a different type of wireless and wireline communications – based information, control and electronics technologies integrated into public transport system [3]. Intelligent transport systems in an urban public transport might be briefly described as the systems of means to achieve sustainable, safe, environmental friendly and qualitative urban public transportation by applying advanced information and communication technologies When it comes to ticketing systems, first of all one may think of the most innovative solutions like the smart card ticketing, e-ticketing, state-of-the-art ticketing equipment (ticket vending machines (TVM) card readers), etc.
