CTS-San Diego has developed a non-contact read/write storage device called a Tag (which is similar to a device known as non-contact smart—card but which is tailored to the requirements of revenue collection) Field trials have been conducted in London (on the underground) and in Washington DC (on the Washington Metro). Equipment provided by CTS includes faregaws. vendors. bus fareboxes, and point-of»sale terminals. These usually include ticket transports or swipe-readers to handle magnetic tickets which are used for employee access and patron transactions. The ticket transport is to be supplemented or replaced by a device known as a Target. The Target will communicate with the Tags (which are to supplement or replace the magnetic tickets). 60 CARD” System The GO CARD” System consists of Tags, Targets, core software routines, and the associated fare collection System, The Til V The Tag is at lion-contact read/write sttuage device designed to supplement oi replace magnetic [ickeh in automatic revenue collection systems (such as subways, rail, bus, parking. etc). The discrete component version of the Tag is packaged as a thick credit card, the custom ASIC version is packaged as an ISO thin credit card, The Taruel The Target is an interface devtce which, when connected to ti revenue-collection controlling unit. enable that controlling unit to read and write Tag data The Target interfaces to various pieces of fare collection equipment (xucli as gates, vendors, point-ntlsale termina. etc ) through a standard serial communications [mm A point-nt-sali: [cllnlnlli application could consist of an ott-tlie-shcltperstinzil computer and ‘dll appropriately packtiged Target. Circuitry The Tag The Tag contains control electronics, memory, power, and communications circuitry. An early version used a microprocessor and battery to implement the control electronics and memory, A later version replaced the battery and microprocessor RAM data memory with an external serial ferroelectric data memory (FRAM), The current versron uses a custom ASIC which contains all of the circuitry Power is coupled from the Target to the Tag by means of an induction field.

The Target, depending upon operating mode, provides either an un-modulated or a modulated induction field which interacts with a Tag only when the Tag is in close proximity to the Target (approximately two inches or closer). When a Tag is brought near a Target, the Tag absorbs energy from the Targets induction field. The absorbed energy provides power to some or all of the Tag circuitry (some of the operating power can be provided by a battery in the Tag if one is used). Upon receiving sufficient power for proper operation, the Tag will, when appropriate, modulate its absorbed power (at a rate of 19,200 Baud. 38.400 Baud, or 1 15,200 Baud depending upon Tag version) thereby causing the Target induction field to vary in amplitude and causing the Target detector to respond to the field changes The Target will convert the field amplitude changes to corresponding 123-232 levels and send these signals to the controlling device The controlling device connected to the Target would process the received signals and then send a response to the Target Via an RS—232 signal. The Target would use the received RS—232 signal to modulate the intensity of the induction field (approximately [0% amplitude modulation) and the Tag would detect and process the AM signal. Upon completion of a transaction or upon removal of the Tag from the immediate vicinity of the Target. the induction field either becomes un-niodulated or is modulated at the l 15,200 Baud rate, A Tag 15 usually held near a Target tor much less than a second but the exchange of signals between Tag and Target is typically accomplished in about one—tenth of a second. Equipment Configurations There are two Vill’lulllms ol' the basic MKS Target, The variations are identical except for the Size ot'tlie bottom (mounting) plttte. They both use the saint: electronic suhassembly (P/N flol»l303). The standard version (P/N 061» I305) uses the larger mounting pliltc The bus fare-box version (FIN OoLISOA) uses the smaller mounting plate and also tttcludei a pmleCIIVe plastic cover, CTS end—item equipment can include either or both of these Targets. The end item may have various configurations. There are four representative Target packaging or mounting methods: fully enclosed‘ desktop‘ subsurface. and surface mount. The pertinent characteristics of each of these methods and representative types of equipment are: Fully enclosed' a standard Target Is fully enclosed by a large metal cabinet, Cables are internal to the cabinet and power is provrded by an internal power supply. The fully enclosed Target is typically mounted on a ticket vendor cash-box vault. Desktop. u httmtlzlrd Target is enclosed in a small metal and plastic covet (with attached cables) rind connected to a dedicated PC (or similar controller) Target power may be supplied by the controller or by tin external small (purlttblc computer lylc) ptiwc supply The typical use for the desktop uiii s for encoding Tags (LC. encoders, point or sale terminals, and station controllers). artl Subsurface mount: The Tnlget is mounted behind a plastic covered Circular cutrout in an enclosing metal cabinet. Cables (llitl imwct nipply tin- intciniil to the ittclitl clihinet Tltt‘ typical the it“ this cttlti'igurtitltui it in passenger gates and paiting lttl ttltllx, Surface mount: The Target is enclosed in a plastic or a plastic and metal housing which is then mounted on the surface of a metal enclosure. Cables and power supply are internal to the metal enclosure. The typical use for the surface configuration is in ticket vendors and bus fare boxes. Target Installation The Target is certified for installation in CT S equipment with the following constraints: Fully enclosed: an un»enclosed Target may only be used inside a totally enclosing metal housing. Example: 8 Target mounted inside a vender to access a Tag on a cash»box. Desktop: 5 desktop unit must consist of the Target mounted in a metal and plastic housing with shielded power and signal cables. A complete desktop kit (061 , IO 12) for retrofitting to an existing PC consists of a MKS Target (mounted in a metal and plastic dome wtth attached signal and power cables) and a regulated 12 Volt power supply and AC power cord Subsurface Mount: the Target is mounted vertically or horizontally on the inside fare collection equipment and accessed externally by the patron or employee An internal vertically mounted, externally accessed Target must be mounted so that: zii the access to the Target is via a 4 5” diameter opening in a metallic surface b. the front surface at the Target must he recessed by 0.2" or more behind the opening c. the surface containing the opening must have an area of at least TBD sq in, Example: a target Incorporated nnn a new tn field—modified vendor for access by patrons with Tags. An internal hori/rmially mounted externally accessed Target must be mounted so that a. the access to the Target is via a 4.5" to 5 0" diameter opening in a metallic surface hr the hunt sut face of the Taiget irmst be recessed by 02" or more behind the opening or the surface containing the opening must have an area ot ar least TED sq. in. Example: a Target incorporated into a new or field-modified gate for access by patrons with Tags Surface Mount‘ the Target is mounted vertically or horizontally on the outside of fare collection equipment and accessed externally by the patron or employee. An external vertically mounted. externally accessed Target must be mounted so that: a. the Target is contained in a surrounding housing which includes a conducting ring b, the conducting ring is in the same plane as. or above. the front surface of the Target 0, the suitace the Tuiget is mounted upon must be metallic and have an area (ii iii least TED sq. in.
