CA 2328198

A system and method for providing automatic validation of fares collected is disclosed. An automatic validating farebox (100), being adapted for mobile use, such as in the cabin of a bus, and to provide convenient access to both patrons and an operator, includes validation mechanisms (310 and 520) and circuitry (550) to accept patron payment in both coin and note. All tendered payment is automatically validated as to acceptable tender as well as its value being electronically registered. Accordingly, the operator is freed from validating payment of a fare and may simply confirm that the registered value is the proper amount for the type of fare purchased. The automatic validating farebox also includes mechanisms (560) adapted both to store accepted currency in an efficient manner as well as to present the collected currency in a manner readily acceptable for handling and counting.

L'invention concerne un procédé et système de validation automatique du prix d'une course recueilli, et notamment une machine (100) à validation automatique, conçue pour une utilisation mobile, comme dans la cabine d'un autobus, et pour être facile d'accès à la fois pour les clients et pour le conducteur. Cette machine comprend des mécanismes de validation (310 et 520) ainsi que des circuits (550) destinés à l'acceptation du paiement par les clients, à la fois en pièces de monnaie et en billets. Tout paiement remis est automatiquement validé en tant que remise acceptable en même temps que sa valeur est enregistrée électroniquement. En conséquence, le conducteur est libéré de l'obligation de valider le paiement d'une course et peut simplement confirmer que la valeur enregistrée est la valeur exacte du type de course acheté. Cette machine de paiement à validation automatique comprend également des mécanismes (560) conçus à la fois pour stocker de manière efficace l'argent accepté et présenter cet argent de manière acceptable, aux fins de manipulation et de comptage.
