Background to the Deployment
A careful consideration over cost reduction and the future
expandability led to our first deployment of Windows based mobile
terminal.
Traditionally, onboard ticket issuing was an extremely bothersome
task involving either writing out or punching holes in tickets by
hand. Some 15 years ago in 1990, an "onboard supplementary ticket
terminal" was introduced originally with the aim of improving work
efficiency. Since then renewals have been repeated and this renewal
is fourth for the system. The point should be focused on this
renewal is the onboard supplementary ticket terminal - in other
words, the innovations to the conductor's terminal.
The system in detail
Possibilities unfold - seating data secured while on the move,
tickets clipped onboard and tickets sold at stations
The greatest change derived from the renewal is the broad
improvement in the ticket retailing function. Conductors now move
through the compartments carrying the terminal with downloaded data
of the latest fare prices to make simultaneous fare adjustments and
ticket issues. And the terminal that provides this function has been
integrated into the CASIO IT-10 onboard supplementary ticket
terminal.
Meanwhile, there are two types of printer available for issuing
passenger tickets; a thermal printer for onboard issuing with
importance placed on the print speed and the other, a station
printer that prints out magnetic stripe tickets in the same size as
the tickets sold at ordinary ticket counter that allow the passage
through automated ticket gates. Furthermore, both the printers are
geared to output using Bluetooth wireless communication.
