NFC & BLE Micro-Location Mobile Ticketing Solution
Check-in/Be-out Mobile Solution Anda
The Anda App tracks and logs journeys and calculates the cheapest fare.
Passengers can view journey history and monthly debit in the app.
1. Check-in to Begin your Journey
Once downloaded, using the anda app is simple: Public transport customers tap their NFC-enabled smartphone to a check-in terminal at the beginning of their journey. The app registers the start of a new journey without customers having to going through the lengthy process of purchasing the correct ticket in advance.
2. Automatic Travel Recording
After check-in and the beginning of a new journey, the Anda app records intermediate stops automatically through a micro-location system. With bluetooth active, the smartphone communicates with the BLE beacons that are installed in different modes of public transportation such as buses or train stations, registering the travel points and enabling passengers a better overview of their journey.
3. App Journey Logging, Fare Calculation and Payment
When a passenger moves out of range of the BLE beacons upon exiting public transportation, the app automatically ends the recorded journey. Customers can view a trip history of all journeys that they have undertaken, as well as an overview of prices for their travels. The billing cycle of the app occurs monthly, and is optimized with the anda ex-post billing algorithm.
Every month, all journeys made by the passenger are analysed and the cheapest possible fare is calculated. For example, if a customer has accumulated enough single journeys within a zone that exceed the price of a monthly subscription, the price for that subscription is charged instead of the combined cost of all single journeys.
