Passenger transport system, e.g. a railway network

摘要

The passenger pays the fare at a ticket kiosk (5) or platform terminal (6) using a smart card (8). The train control system monitors the departure and arrival times of the train (1). If an unacceptable delay has occurred, signals are sent to the financial data processing system (4). The financial data processing system "authorizes" the terminal (7) on the train to make refunds. The delayed passenger inserts his smart card (8) in the train terminal (7) and receives an immediate credit.
