Sistema informático basado en tarjetas inteligentes para automatizar el cobro de pasajes, de la Cooperativa de Transporte Urbano ‘Unión Ambateña’ en la ciudad de Ambato.

Abstract

With the arrival of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) all face-to-face activity worldwide has been paralyzed, implementing multiple biosecurity measures, and as the virus vaccine has expanded, face-to-face activities are gradually normalized, resulting in the exposure of multiple people to be infected or transport the virus.

According to the WHO (World Health Organization) it is advisable to maintain the distance of at least 1 meter between people, both in open and closed places so that there is no contact between people because the virus can spread in a short distance in the air or through the exchange of objects.

Based on the aforementioned problem, the development of the automation of fare charging in the urban transport cooperative "Unión Ambateña" in the city of Ambato arises, which consists of eliminating all contact that a user driver of a transport unit has with the passenger users who take the service for the transfer of one place or another within the city.

The system will automate the collection of the ticket in an urban transport unit through NFC cards that allows the exchange of information without making any contact with the reading device, avoiding contact between the driver user and the passenger user.

The system will consist of a web application that allows the administration of the charges made in each transport unit, it will also consist of 2 information reader and writer devices that allow the interaction of the NFC cards with the Web application and finally will carry out a control through a mobile application where the passenger users will be able to visualize the actions that their respective cards are performed in each transport unit.
