Next-Generation Automatic Fare Collection Solution for Urban Mobility
Next-Generation Automatic Fare Collection Solution for Urban Mobility
Datamatics’ TruFare is a highly secure, scalable, reliable, and state-of-the-art Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) solution built for digitally savvy urban transport systems, such as metro rails, automated parking lots, rapid bus transport systems, etc., that experience heavy footfall. It is highly scalable and is capable of handling large passenger volumes without any degradation in the response and user experience. The modularity of the TruFare AFC system allows integration with new technologies and fare media, such as open loop, EMV open loop, QR Code, NFC, account-based ticketing, card-based ticketing, and contactless mobile ticketing. Thereby it enhances the overall passenger commuting experience and reduces the total cost of ownership for the transit operators.
Offers seamless usage of self-service AFC devices, such as Ticket Vending Machines (TVM) and Add Value Machines (AVM), in the AFC infrastructure space thus enabling transit operators to better handle and manage bottle necks in ticketing during the peak hours at places with heavy footfall
Use latest AFC technologies, such as Near Field Communication (NFC) and Europay, MasterCard, and Visa (EMV) readers supporting MIFARE cards, tokens, NFC phones, and EMV cards to make contactless payments at AFC readers

Automatic Fare Collection or AFC systems are hardware units powered by secure and scalable AFC software solutions that are built to automatically handle fare collection in places of high footfall, such as, metro rails, railways, mass rapid transition systems, bus rapid transit systems, ferries, waterways, parking lots, etc. AFC systems are used for cash flow automation and sustained revenue assurance even while dissipating queues and crowds quickly during heavy rush hours.
Contactless Fare Collection is a mobile application that allows passengers to book tickets and transit passes by using their mobile phones, even for multi-modal connected journeys across a railway, a waterway, and a roadway. It allows contact-free and cash free transactions, which are facilitated by UPI, credit cards, debit cards, and net banking.
AFC Central Clearing House System or CCHS is a fully automated, brick and mortar centralized operations facility that apportions a passenger-specific fare collected for a connected journey, across different transit operators, who manage different modes of travel. It uses processes similar to the apportioning of revenue collected for mobile calls engaging different mobile operators across different geographical zones.
