How to upgrade the national urban bus IC card system

 

The upgrade of the national urban bus IC card system can be achieved by the bus company through the following steps:

1. Prepare for the upgrade

First of all, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive inspection and evaluation of the existing bus payment system to understand the status of the current bus payment system and the parts that need to be upgraded (technical document function docking). At the same time, prepare the software and hardware equipment required for upgrading, such as bus card readers, IC card readers, etc.

2. Data backup

Before upgrading, the data of the bus IC card system needs to be backed up to prevent data loss or corruption. Data can be backed up to the cloud or to a local hard drive.

3. Install the new system

Install the new bus fare system and carry out system setup and configuration and compatibility. Set parameters, billing rules, and user rights based on the actual situation.

4. Data migration

Migrate the previously backed up data to the new bus fare collection system to ensure data integrity and accuracy.

5. Test run

Conduct system test run, check whether there are problems or abnormal conditions, and deal with them in time.

6. Official operation

After the test run, the bus fare collection system can be officially put into operation and open to the public.

In the process of upgrading the bus fare collection system, it is necessary to pay attention to data backup and system compatibility and security. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the upgraded system of the bus card can operate stably and meet the actual needs of the bus company.

Whether a bus is equipped with one or two card readers mainly depends on the fare calculation method of the route: single-fare routes usually only require passengers to tap their cards once when boarding, so one card reader is sufficient; while distance-based fare routes require passengers to tap their cards both when boarding and alighting to calculate the actual trip cost, hence two card readers are needed.
