>>> Tariff Automation
A very important point is the automation of tariffs in the passenger traffic. Only if a tariff is salesable into sale by private contract equipment, on-board computer (ticket printer), ticket automat or over Internet, the modern transporting enterprises can or Traffic groups your selling accomplish. The number of transporting enterprises, your ticket sales not over a modern PC will always accomplish less.
A disadvantage for the employment of the modern Sales systems are the high capital outlays. In contrast to this stand however the liberty to insert fast and flexibly new ticket places or prices. With conventional block sales new tickets must be ordered and printed only in printering. Here likewise costs arise and it arise delivery time.

Ungeschlagen are the modern sales systems in operability and account ability. Complex one Tariff structures of several traffic groups can be implemented in such a way into the sales devices that the sales personnel hardly briefings into that Tariff jungle needs. The modern sales systems take over the remainder. There is arbitrary evaluations possible, e.g.:
The condition around a tariff to automate is a translation for humans of the thought Price of transportation boards and tariff overviews into a format usable for computers. This happens, as all sales points will provide seized and with numbers. In the following exemplarily the automation of a tariff is described.
At the beginning all stops in the sales area must be nummeriert. Also the rarely started Request stops or pupil lines must be seized thereby. In the case of this numbering should System recognizably its, e.g. a Durchnummerierung per line process. This is however only conditionally feasible, since lines cross.

The stop numbers must be clear and it should with the numbering be considered, which possibly further stops can come. The numbers should be kept as small as possible and maximally 5-digit its.

With automated sales systems is particularly in large sales areas (group areas) important to keep as small as possible the data set. Therefore come in such large sales areas also only zone tariffs to the employment.
In the price stage matrix are all possible Sales relations specified and among themselves in Relationship posed. In the price stage matrix no prices specified to separate price stages. That Transporting enterprise must determine the price stages between two stops or between two zones in such a table uniquely. A change of price stage can take place at any time, is however rather rare nature. Changes are by far more frequent in the price of the respective ticket.

For the determination of the price stage only the actual distance is not considerably, also those actual passenger stream and thus the effect on the incomes, or the quality of the assigned vehicles and timetable density can play a role during the evaluation of the price stage. During the definition of the price stage the Verkehrsunternehmer has free hand.
In a price of transportation board are now the particulars Tickets with the prices specified in the respective price stage. With these Schematik can all tariffs and tariff forms of sale by private contract devices, mobile and stationary ticket automats, ticket printers and on-board computers equally be converted.
For the automation of tariffs very much know-how is necessary. In this example the fundamental procedure was pointed out. Many characteristics like e.g.:
can the modern sales systems carry out. If the modern sales devices are blocked in mobile vehicles, come mostly still another multiplicity of Control problems on the sales devices too, e.g.:
Around this to reach all factors must be equally considered. The tariff must be adapted to the desires of the transporting enterprise, around this too reach. The automation of tariffs is straight in interaction with further requirements that Transporting enterprises a challenge. Around these Challenge to master is necessary a consultation during the conversion. The manufacturers of on-board computers, ticket automats, booking office devices and sale by private contract devices (Handhelds) have this know-how.
