Cubic Transportntlon Systems (CTS) Overview
CTS is comprised of a variety of different divisions which provide equipment to various world-wide transportation
authorities, including bus. rail, and parking-lot ticketing equipment. 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.

Target Block Diagram
Operation
The Target is powered from a source of 7 to 28 Volts DC. using on on-board DCIDC converter, or may he battery
powered. 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).

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.
Example: a Target ren o-tiued to an existing vendor for access by patrons With Tags.
An external hormimally mounted externally accessed Target must be mounted so that:
a. the Target is contained in a surrounding housing which includes a conducting ring
h. the t‘titiilllclitig ring is in the same plane in. ortihove lllt‘ front surface otthe Target
c. the surface the Target IS mounted upon must he metallic and have nn area m at ienn ‘i'iin sq. ltl
Example: a Target retro-fitted to an existing gate for access by patrons With Tags
