Review of Urban Rail Transit Ticket Clearing Methods by WANG Yao, LI Jiming, GAO Shen, LIU Guangjie, XU Zhongquan

“…［Result & Conclusion］The one-ticket transfer model commonly used in China relies only on OD (origin and destination) for checking records, making it difficult to fairly and reasonably distribute the fare to multiple operating entities that may be involved. A more scientific and reasonable clearing scheme needs to further strengthen big data research on the AFC (automatic fare collection) system, and more importantly, relying on existing technologies and computing models is required to strengthen the real-time analysis and overtime prediction accuracy of passengers′ path selection behavior, so as to enable the clearing mechanism accurately make adaptive dynamic adjustments according to actual operating conditions.…”
