Fare collection
Manage payment and fare-collection flows for defined mobility services.
AFC
Electronic Fare Collection Systems
Bring fragmented field components together in one fare-collection architecture.
When validators, cards, terminals, top-up, subscriptions, monitoring and reporting are managed as separate systems, operations become complex. Galaksity brings these layers together in one central fare-collection architecture according to project requirements.
HOW WE BUILD IT
- 01Define the field scope
- 02Design the validation structure
- 03Design central management
- 04Enable reporting and integration
ONE SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
Field, user and operational layerswork from the same centre.
Ten capabilities are designed not as isolated modules, but as one integrated fare-collection system sharing data, rules and operational flows.
Fare and usage transactions
Validation
Validate the card or relevant payment device according to its usage rules.
Card top-up
Manage balance loading, top-up tracking and the connection of multiple top-up channels with the central system.
System and user management
Terminal
Connect field terminals to the system as the physical transaction points of the fare-collection flow.
Card management
Manage card registration, status and usage processes centrally.
Central management
Bring field components, definitions and operational parameters together in one management layer.
Subscription management
Define subscription products, associate them with users or cards, and manage validity periods and usage rules.
Monitoring and system connections
Reporting
Bring transaction and operational data together in traceable reports.
Integration
Connect the fare-collection system with other software and infrastructure components within the project scope.
Monitoring system
Use central monitoring to track the operating status of field devices, transaction flows and system components.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What to know when planningyour fare-collection infrastructure.
What is an Electronic Fare Collection System?
A system that brings together fare collection, validation, card and terminal management, card top-up, subscription management, central monitoring, reporting and integration for mobility services.
Which layers make up an AFC system?
Depending on the project scope, it can include fare collection, validation, terminals, card management, central management, reporting, integration, card top-up, subscription management and monitoring.
How do card top-up and subscription management work?
Top-up transactions and different top-up channels can be connected to the central system. Subscription products can be defined and linked to a card or user, with validity periods and usage rules managed centrally.
What does the central monitoring system track?
It tracks the operating status of field devices, transaction flows and system components, giving operations teams a common view.
Can it integrate with an existing mobility infrastructure?
The integration scope is defined after analysing existing devices, software, card structures, data flows and operational requirements.
Can the solution be customised by project?
Field scope, fare model, validation rules, terminal structure, top-up and subscription model, monitoring and reporting requirements can be configured around each project.
