Rail transit ticket vending system and method based on Internet

Abstract

The invention discloses a subway ticket vending system and a method based on Internet, which relate to the field of AFC (Automatic Fare Collection). The system comprises a ticket vending module, a management module and a two-dimensional code ticket fetching machine, wherein the ticket vending module is used for providing functions of selecting a station hall and payment and acquiring the two-dimensional code of a ticket for a user; the two-dimensional code ticket fetching machine is used for scanning the two-dimensional code in the ticket vending module and generating a corresponding ticket; and the management module is used for providing corresponding function supports for the ticket vending module and the two-dimensional code ticket fetching machine. Network ticket vending in a virtual transaction mode on the Internet can be realized, no TVM (Ticket Vending Machine) is needed in the rail transit station hall, the construction cost, the maintenance cost and the design area requirements of the rail transit station hall can be reduced obviously, and operation pressure of the rail transit can be lessened.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of AFC (Automatic Fare Collection, automatic fare collection system), in particular to an Internet-based subway ticketing system and method. Background technique [0002] see figure 1 As shown, the operation mode of the AFC system of urban rail transit is: set TVM (Ticket Vending Machine, automatic ticket vending machine) and AGM (Automatic Gate Machine, automatic ticket checking machine), adopt the traditional mode of "station hall ticket sales and ticket inspection"; TVM and The number of AGMs is comprehensively determined based on the forecasted passenger flow and the size of the station hall. [0003] The operation mode of TVM in this mode is: accepting cash as the main payment method, the ticket sales speed of TVM depends on the interconnection of internal modules of the equipment and the influence of passengers’ operations, and the core cash flow module (such as the banknote-to-coin module) in TVM mainl...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, with the development of networked operation of rail transit in various cities, the unbalanced passenger flow forecast and the uncertainty of passenger operation will make it difficult to properly match the fare collection equipment of the AFC system, which in turn causes the following defects in the use of the AFC system :

[0006] (1) In order to ensure the speed of ticket purchase for users, rail transit station halls need to purchase a large number of TVMs. Since the cash flow core modules of TVMs need to be imported, the construction cost and subsequent maintenance costs of purchasing a large number of TVMs are very high

[0007] (2) A large number of banknotes and coins in multiple TVMs will form a large cash flow, which not only increases the difficulty of counting, recycling and transportation of money, but also increases security risks

[0008] (3) It takes a long time to buy tickets on TVM. When there are many passengers in the station hall, passengers will line up in the station hall and cause congestion in the station hall, which not only affects the travel efficiency of passengers, reduces the user experience, but also improves The requirement for the design area of ​​the station hall has been imposed, which has brought pressure to the operation of rail transit. At the same time, it has also brought higher requirements to the design of the subsequent station hall.
