Brief Introduction

Automatic fare collection system (AFC) is a combination of automatic ticket vending machine (AVM), ticket checking machine (TCM) and automatic gate machine (AGM). As the rise of city population, rail transportation become a common choice for lots of cities to reduce traffic jam and improve social operation efficiency. To manage tickets and pass requirement of huge passengers, AFC system are design to fulfill the tasks.

System Challenge

AFC systems demand an industrial grade PC to serve as central control unit. The industrial PC will support lots of I/O ports to connect various function modules. Because of so, excellent EMC performance is necessary to overcome complicated EMC environment.

To ensure long time stable operation, the industrial PC will guarantee 7x24h running without break. High MTBF like 100,000h is key point in consideration.
