Revamping Urban Mobility: Metro AFC and RFID Analysis

Abstract

Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) and RFID technologies in Metro stations are examined in this article. The research analyzes their functions, effect, and future potential to demonstrate their role in urban mobility revolution. In today's busy cities, efficient and dependable transportation networks are crucial for economic growth, social cohesion, and environmental sustainability. Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) have transformed urban mobility, changing how commuters’ traverse. RFID technology enables contactless connection between smart cards and AFC gates. RFID chips in smart cards transmit unique radio signals that gate readers collect. These readers decipher tag data to validate user credentials and authorize access. This safe and efficient connection prevents fraud and unauthorized access to transactions.
