Application | JHCTECH's KMDA Product Successfully Empowers Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) System
Traditional manual ticket sales cannot meet today's huge and efficient travel demand, so the application demand for Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) systems is particularly urgent and important.
Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) System
The AFC system comprises the Application Management System (Settlement Center System, Central Computer System, Site Computer System) and Ticket Collection Equipment (Automatic Ticket Vending Machines, Exit/Entry Gates, etc.). Leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as computers, the Internet, and mechatronics, the AFC system achieves centralized control over automatic ticketing, inspection, and network systems. This intelligent, high-efficiency, safe, and reliable system has been widely adopted in urban rail transit globally, significantly enhancing travel efficiency.

Automatic Ticket Gate
The automatic ticket gate (AGM or Gate for short) is an important part of the AFC system, situated at the non-paid and paid area junctions of the station. It serves as a verification gate for passengers entering and exiting the subway station, ensuring accurate calculation of travel expenses and effective control of station entry and exit order.
Application Requirements
This customer approached JHCTECH with the expectation that we could provide a reliable and efficient fanless industrial computer for their automatic ticket gate machines. Each automatic ticket gate machine corresponds to an industrial computer. Considering the operating principles and characteristics of the automatic ticket gate machines, the specified requirements are as follows:
- The performance can meet basic control, analysis and transmission.
- Multiple I/O interfaces can connect all access control modules and their connected sub-components, with convenient wiring.
- The whole machine is miniaturized and easy to disassemble and assemble;
- Good stability, reliability and maintainability.
JHCTECH Product Solution
The customer finally selected JHCTECH's KMDA-2602-S001 to provide solid and stable support for its application. The KMDA-2602-S001 utilizes an Intel J1900 CPU with four cores and four threads, providing capabilities for basic control, data analysis, and transmission. With rich I/O interfaces, and 6*COM ports, it meets the connection requirements of automatic ticket throughput ports, non-contact IC cards, gates, alarms, and other equipment; Additionally, it features multiple network ports + USB interfaces for information communication with system terminals. All interfaces are distributed on the front and rear panels facilitating equipment wiring. The model is small and compact, and adopts a wire-free docking architecture, ensuring sturdiness and stability, It operates reliably for extended periods, functioning 24/7 without interruption. The heat dissipation design, with upper and lower isolation, enables it to operate in the working range of -20°C to 65°C, making it well-suited for challenging working environments.
