Automatic fare collection is a comprehensive system that consists of several interconnected components. When these parts work together, they create a smooth and efficient process for transit agencies and customers alike. So, what are some of the core aspects of an AFC system?
This paper examines how solar-powered metro rail systems offer a new solution for driving sustainability in urban transportation. Converting metro rail networks to solar power can decrease carbon emissions, improve air quality, and foster sustainable city transport .
An AFC system collects a lot of passenger information. This means ensuring the security and privacy of data is crucial, so transit agencies need to invest in strong cybersecurity measures. Once an automatic fare collection system is in place, ongoing maintenance and software upgrades will be required to keep it operating smoothly.
The inspiration for our research emerged from the growing focus on integrating transportation with renewable energy systems. We were interested in the energy island and self-sufficiency in the beginning. Therefore, we introduce solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery energy storage at bus depots (charging hubs).
