A complete graphical illustration of the interaction between the central control station, bus

stops, and the card is shown in figure 4 below.

Long-Distance-Card

A long distance ticket should register itself automatically when the passenger boards and it

should cancel itself when the passenger reaches the destination it was paid for. The tickets

should respond to RF-signal when it receives a poll-signal from the master wireless-center

inside the train. In the train the conductor will control all the passengers from a central-

terminal by sending out a broadcast, an unpaid or expired passengers ticket will respond with

a false-signal (red-light on the terminal screen) while a paid passenger will respond with a

true-signal (green-light on the terminal screen). The Conductor-Master-Control-Terminal

could be a central point in the whole train; it could also be a hand-held-device that controls

tickets within 4 meters of the held-direction.

A practical example of the system usage is a person traveling from Malmö to Stockholm but

paid for Malmö to Jonköping, when the train stops at Jönköping the ticket will be

automatically cancelled remotely (RF). Consequently, in the next round of conductor-control

it will respond with a false-signal. Long distance tickets could be recyclable, so the user gets

some refund if he leaves it when disembarking from the train. E-Screen and the RF signal can

be used to pass useful information such as, weather forecast, latest sales promotion, city map,

restaurant location, cheap transport etc.

The long distance ticket should have an optional bag-tag-slip that the ticket holder could buy

as an additional accessory when purchasing his/ her ticket. The luggage-tag is a simple RF-

Transponder that communicates with the ticket through RF and consequently acts as a bag-

watchman. A ticket holder should put the bag-tag inside his/her bag before switching it on

through the tickets. The ticket-bag-tag-link operates within 5-meters radius only, such that if

the bag is moved outside this 5m-radius the ticket will beep and the owner will know that

someone is trying to take the bag away.

Tangible benefits for Long-Distanced -Ticket:

For the Transport Company:

1. The new card will enable the transport company to generate more revenues

through the automated ticket check, i.e. from a central terminal a conductor can

detect unpaid passengers via RF signal resulting staff reduction for the

transport company.

2. The transport company benefits from the new system by using the E-paper

screen for sales promotion through the RF.

For the End User:

1. The user benefits from the weather forecast, latest sales promotion, city map,

restaurant location, cheap transport etc. information that are displayed.

The cards will use piezoelectricity, as its primary source of energy or another alternative

could be tiny solar panels.
