I. System Architecture Layers

  1. Hardware Layer

    • Terminal Devices‌: Includes contactless IC card readers/writers (e.g., onboard card machines, handheld POS terminals), QR code scanners, vehicle voltage stabilizers, and infrared data collectors;
    • Card Media‌: Supports physical IC cards (e.g., senior citizen cards, social security cards), virtual cards (NFC-enabled smartphones, QR codes), and biometrics (facial recognition payments);
    • Auxiliary Devices‌: Smart roadside parking inspection vehicles, license plate recognition systems, etc.
  2. Software Layer

    • Management Platform‌: Enables card issuance, recharge, transaction history queries, blacklist management, and multi-level access control;
    • Payment System‌: Integrates multiple payment methods (bank cards, QR codes via WeChat/Alipay, facial recognition) and supports cross-city interoperability.
  3. Data Layer

    • Utilizes SaaS platforms for cloud storage and real-time synchronization of transaction data, enabling passenger flow analysis, route optimization, and financial reporting;
    • Integrates with smart public transit management systems for rail-bus coordination and dynamic route scheduling.

II. Core Technical Features

  1. Contactless Interaction

    • Based on RFID technology, cards harvest energy via magnetic resonance to enable data exchange with a response time under 0.3 seconds;
    • IP65-rated dustproof and waterproof design for harsh vehicle environments.
  2. Multi-Payment Integration

    • Single terminals support over 20 payment methods, allowing "one device, multiple cards" and real-name authentication;
    • Complies with EMV and CE security certifications to ensure encrypted transaction data transmission.
  3. Multi-Scenario Adaptability

    • Customizable for urban transit, corporate shuttles, tourist buses, etc., supporting sectional pricing and time-based passenger flow control;
    • Extends to smart city ecosystems, including dining, parking, and campus management.

III. Key Suppliers & Solutions

  1. Kalian Technology

    • Provides end-to-end "hardware + SaaS + application" services, offering bus payment terminals and facial recognition devices, serving 600+ transit operators nationwide.
  2. Yonghao Electronics

    • Specializes in integrated bus card systems with real-name authentication, deployed by Shagang Group and Qilu Hospital.
  3. Guolang Technology

    • Develops omnichannel payment terminals combining QR code and card modules for rural transit and mobile inspections.

IV. Development Trends

  • Intelligent Dispatching‌: Integrates demand-responsive transit models for dynamic routing and automated vehicle allocation;
  • Cross-Regional Integration‌: Expands multi-city "one-card" systems to enhance regional transportation efficiency.
