Accuracy: Electronic validation of both coins and bills--U.S. and Canadian. Validation means coin characteristics such as metallic content and weight are tested--not just size. Similarly, all valid banknotes are identified by denomination electronically--$1's, $5's, $10's, and $20's can be validated and accepted. Slugs, foreign coins and counterfeit bills will be rejected. The driver does not make visual inspection of monies--all validation is handled electronically. Speed: Accepts and validates coins and bills as fast as they can be fed into the farebox. Coins and bills are validated and counted simultaneously. User-friendliness: Both driver and passenger are prompted by bright and legible electronic displays. A wide variety of messaging formats are available for selection. They are easily modified to enable special messages for holidays and service announcements. The driver keypad includes up to 32 user-modifiable buttons. Dependability: Reduced number of moving parts, plus driver can securely clear coin and bill jams, without access to cashbox contents. Electronic design provides greater reliability and reduced preventive and remedial maintenance costs. The Smart Box™ Validating Farebox is built to perform well in the mass transit environment Safety: The driver’s eyes should be on the road--not the farebox. Electronic validation eliminates the cash inspection plate. Programmable audible tones signal events to the driver. Operator Control Unit (OCU) can be mounted anywhere convenient to the driver. Security: Coins and bills are deposited into a single, compact cashbox which contains an electronic identification tag. Bills are tightly stacked and faced in the banknote compartment for easy and cost effective removal, handling and counting. Adaptability: The Smart Box™ Validating Farebox accepts 12 different coins and tokens (in six denominations), and four banknotes (face up in two directions). Connects to ticket readers, card readers, and smart card interface devices supplied by any manufacturer. Auditability: Every bus, every day, is balanced individually against actual cash counts and ridership. Daily reports pinpoint every aspect of ridership and fare payments. Accurate counts and secure audit trail permit you to immediately identify the source of any cash shortages. Flexibility: Integrates with other on-board devices such as headsigns, radios, GPS systems, passenger counters and J1708 devices--even fare collection devices from other manufacturers. Small size allows installation on small vehicles, such as mini-vans and trolley replicas, in a variety of different configurations. |
