THICKET ISSUING MACHINE AND SYSTEM FOR THICKET ISSUING IN MULTIROUTE TRANSPORT SCHEMES

摘要

The machine and the system can be used for the issuance of tickets for multiroute transport schemes, in particular in servicing passenger routes and schemes with autonomous transport vehicles and fixed stations and halts. They have greater facilities in poorly connected transport schemes having many inconvenient and difficult access stations and halts from communication and energy point of view with the traditional payment in cash. The ticketing machine consists of a central microprocessor module (1) with interface controller for system integration (2) and a printing (3) and indicator (4) unit which are standard-connected across first and second interface controller (6, 7) to module (1), and of keyboard (5) and third interface controller (8) coupled to module (1). Unit (3) includes a specialized printer (9), alphabetic-digital display (10), keyboard field with digital and functional buttoms (11), microprocessor for control by symbols (12), control unit (13) for the general parameters of the display (10) and specialized microprocessor for keyboard decoding (15). Four of the functional buttons are arranged in the form of a four-point star (14). The unit (16) for processing of contactless RAM-cards (17) consists of a fourth interface controller (18), standard-connected to module (1) and bilaterally across buffer memory (19) - to a specialized microprocessor for data processing (20) which is two-side connected to an encoder/decoder (21) and reading-recording unit (22) two-way connected to the encoder/coder (21). The thicketing system is built of numerous thicket issuing machines (23) which are fitted only in some stationary r.w. stations (24) and halts (25) of the route transport sheme and in all transport vehicles (26) servicing it. In the junction stations (27) to base (28) for transport vehicles (26) a specialized computer is mounted for thicket issuing (29). Every transport vehicle driver (26) has a personal RAM-card (17). 3 claims, 2 figures
