Smart Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) & Integrated Transport Management System (ITMS)

Modernizing Public Transit for Smart Cities & State Roadways

Unified digital platforms eliminating revenue pilferage, schedule irregularities, and commuter delays across urban and intercity bus operations.

Operating a modern public transport network requires tightly coupled synchronization between fare collection hardware, onboard vehicle sensors, passenger notification displays, and depot administrative staff.

Vedant Infosoft engineers comprehensive Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) and Integrated Transport Management Systems (ITMS). We connect Electronic Ticket Issuing Machines (ETIM), contactless smart cards (NFC/Mifare/NCMC), Dynamic UPI QR ticketing, in-vehicle GPS/GPRS telematics, and central cloud clearinghouses into a single high-availability operational dashboard.

Key System Capabilities

• Smart Automatic Fare Collection (AFC): Contactless RFID/NFC smart cards, monthly commuter passes, paper QR slips, and mobile app-based digital tickets with secure cryptographic authentication.
• Electronic Ticket Issuing Machines (ETIM): Rugged Android-based conductor handheld terminals with built-in 4G, GPS, 58mm thermal receipt printers, SAM card slots, and offline cache storage for zero-connectivity routes.
• Integrated Bus Depot Management System (BDMS): Crew duty rostering, automated driver/conductor allocation, bus fitness verification, diesel issue logging, electronic waybill generation, and cash box handover audit.
• Real-Time Fleet Telematics & Schedule Adherence: In-vehicle tracking units (IVTU) feeding sub-second bus coordinates to monitor route deviations, speed violations, unauthorized stops, and live headways.
• Passenger Information System (PIS): Live Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) feeds for bus stop LED display boards, onboard audio-visual next-stop announcements, and commuter smartphone apps.
