What does it do? +
The Voyageur Platform 3050 is an outdoor validator that validates and charges passengers’ smart travel cards for their current trips. The Voyageur Platform 3050 can either charge a flat fare or charge a discounted rate based on the traveler’s profile, such as special fares for children, students, or seniors.The Voyageur Platform 3050 also shows the traveler the credit left on her smart travel card so that the traveler knows if she needs to add credit to it or not.
The platform validator, like the on-board validators, is connected to the ticket management system, in this case Transway’s back office, and provides data and information regarding the number of passengers, specific passengers who passed entered or exited the station and more.
-
Where is it used? +
The Voyageur Platform 3050 is used in Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) projects where the platform is closed and passengers must pass their smart cards near the validator in order to enter into the platform area. -
How does it work? +
The process for the passenger is simple and seamless. The Voyageur Platform 3050 is placed at the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) or other station that is connected to the public transport ticketing system. The traveler approaches the machine and simply places it near the contactless reader for validation.The Voyageur Platform 3050 quickly reads the card, calculates the required travel points needed for the current trip, and informs the passenger through sound and through the information on the screen if the validation was successful or not. The Voyageur Platform 3050 also deducts the correct relevant fare, usually as number of rides, from the stored rides on the card, and re-encodes the number of rides remaining on the card. In cases of time-based travel smart cards, the Voyageur Platform 3050 records the travel without deducting any travel points, or rides.
The passenger is immediately informed on the liquid crystal display how much credit, be it in terms of time or travel points, is left on her travel card.
Like all of Transway’s validators, the Voyageur Platform 3050 communicates with the back office in order to report information, as well as receive information such as updated lists of invalid cards, tariff and price changes, as well as route updates.
