A domestic city bus group has teamed up with local software platform Taiwanese businessmen to create an electronic ride code system called "Handheld Bus", which realizes the "scan code and deduct fees" mode for boarding. Handheld Bus is an intelligent system that integrates "real-time query" and "convenient payment".
Its scanning logic is very clever, mainly relying on dynamic QR codes and 4G positioning technology to ensure transaction security and speed. And its benefits are also very obvious, not only solving the trouble of passengers forgetting their cards and not having any change, but also allowing you to enjoy the same travel discounts as physical cards.
The reason why the software platform provider chose our company's 4G QR code access control (CR09EUPW):
After users activate the "Scan Code to Ride" function in the mini program, the system will generate a real-time updated encrypted QR code (refreshed every 5 seconds), combined with the backup ID, timestamp, and other information of the QR code terminal, encrypted through algorithms to ensure transaction security.
When passengers board the bus, they scan the payment QR code at the QR code access control device on the bus to deduct fees. The device communicates with the background through 4G network.
Some bus routes charge in sections, requiring scanning the code once for boarding and alighting, and the system automatically calculates the fare based on the taking interval; If only scanning the QR code while taking, the system will deduct the fare based on the lowest ticket price.
Our company's 4G QR code access control supports major telecom operators' nano cards. When the bus arrives at each station, the 4G positioning function can be used to upload the vehicle operation and arrival information to the software backend in a timely manner. The backend summarizes the operation information of each bus and displays it on the front system of the "handheld bus", so that every passenger can see it.
Our company's 4G QR code access control comes with a 2-inch IPS high-definition screen, combined with TTS voice package, to dynamically report the deduction situation for every passenger who scans the code on board, and display it on the screen.
Our company provides detailed HTTP/HTTPS and MQTT development protocols and sample source code for 4G QR code access control. After the platform provider connects the devices, real-time data push is carried out:
①Administrators can remotely configure billing rules in the background, such as segmented pricing and discount policies;
②Administrators can batch blacklist or grant temporary permissions based on operational records in the system backend;
③The backend can view real-time QR code deduction logs.
The 4G QR code access control device supports remote upgrade. In case of device software and hardware upgrade, maintenance personnel do not need to go to the site to handle it. Remote upgrade is sufficient. If the network is not good during the upgrade, the system will automatically restore to the pre upgrade system and will not become a "brick". Once the network is stable, it will automatically upgrade again.
Passengers no longer need to carry physical bus cards or change with them. They can simply scan the QR code to board the bus, which can be quickly verified in 0.5 seconds. When encountering a large number of people, passengers do not need to wait in long lines to scan the code and board the bus.
Payment security: Platform providers use financial grade encryption technology, with a risk rate of only one in ten thousand for theft and fraud.
National connectivity: "Handheld public transportation" currently covers transportation in over 300 cities.
Age friendly design: The screen displays large fonts and is designed specifically for the elderly. After scanning the code, the elderly will receive real-time text to voice broadcasts, and children can also remotely recharge their parents on their mobile phones.
Our product (CR09EUPW) is not only a 4G QR code access control, but also a 4G QR code terminal designed specifically for bus environments. It provides a stable 4G network connection and greatly simplifies the development and operation work of integrators through open APIs and remote management tools. The successful application of this product also verifies that its solution can be extended to more mobile payment scenarios such as ride hailing and scenic area connections.
