A mass transit system of a transit authority automatically determines and applies the lowest possible transit fare to a patron's account, thereby releasing the patron from decisions leading to the most cost effective fare instrument for his or her transit pattern. A fair fare system and method utilizes the transit authorit's existing hardware infrastructure, i.e., mainframe, vendors, gates, smart card and Point of Issue (POI) devices, with additinoal processing mechanisms for determining the best fare over rolling time periods. Because a relatively large storage capacity of the fare instrument is required, smart cards are employed for use with the fare fair system.
L'invention concerne un système de transport en commun d'une commission de transport qui détermine et applique automatiquement le tarif le plus bas possible en faveur de l'usager, évitant ainsi à ce dernier de choisir le tarif le plus cher pour son trajet. Un système et un procédé de tarification juste utilisent le réseau d'infrastructure matériel existant de la commission de transport en commun, à savoir, l'ordinateur central, les distributeurs automatiques, les passerelles, les dispositifs de points de distribution (POI) et les cartes à puces, ainsi que des systèmes de traitement pour déterminer le tarif le plus avantageux de déplacement selon les différentes plages horaires. En raison de la grande capacité de stockage requise pour l'instrument de tarification, on utilise des cartes à puces conjointement avec le système de tarification juste.
