Automatic Fare Collection Systems
Automatic Fare Collection System (AFC) is one of basic station equipment that consists of automatic gate machine, ticket vending machine and ticket checking machine. In this application, stable and integrated platforms are necessarily to keep passenger flow run smoothly at peak hours; at the same time, all data will be gathered and transmitted into center.
ITA-1000 Series are our offering that designed for this scenario.

Application
Automatic Gate Machine
System Requirement
ITA-1000 Series AFC Controller has played an important role in metropolitan automated fare collection systems (AFC) in China, Europe, and other regions. It meets the needs of urban metro and train stations and has been a great success worldwide, from Shanghai, to Singapore, to Milan. During peak hours, automated gate machine must serve as stable, easily maintained system to manage and maintain a steady flow in the volume of commuters. Automated gate machine ought to be stable and equipped with value-added system feature to protect against memory/data losses caused by power disturbances. ITA-1000 Series AFC Controller's design and F-RAM trait explain why many of our clients and partners have chosen ITA-1000 Series AFC Controller on gate machine application.

Ticket Vending Machine
System Requirement
ITA-1000 Series AFC Controller possesses a rich complement of I/0 interfaces that cater to the use of ticket vending machines (TVM), which integrates an LED display, bill identification equipment, LCD screen, touch panel, and coin charger. Since going to production, ITA-1000 Series has gained support from numerous system integrators, and has been widely deployed in hundreds of TVM systems worldwide. TVM systems must run 24/7 in tough working environments which include temperature extremes and impact from dust. Hence, ITA-1000 Series AFC Controller has been engineered with enhanced thermal flow. A fanless and hermetic design also greatly reduces the impact from dust and helps the systems overcome the challenges faced by their working environments.
