Golong Technology empowers Jinhua Bus Group’s smart travel, further strengthens the information construction of the bus group, reduces costs and increases efficiency for buses, and improves operational efficiency of production. In August 2022, Jinhua Bus Group purchased on-board smart fareboxes characterized by automatic identification of the authenticity of coins, automatic counting, real-time data upload, etc. Currently, the feedback from several bus companies is good after they used the smart fareboxes for nearly half a year.
2.The equipment is equipped with remote upgrades, which can greatly facilitate the later maintenance work.
3.Intelligent voice broadcasting can improve the portability of the equipment.
4.Intelligent identification of the authenticity of coins can greatly reduce the rate of receiving counterfeit money, mutilated currency, foreign currencies, game coins, etc.
5.The data is uploaded in real time, and the cash income can be checked in real time;
6.Golong can meet the customized needs of various functions and fulfill the information construction requirements of the public transport group.
7.Golong has high-quality technology to support after-sales service work, and its after-sales service is efficient.
Compared with the existing farebox, Golong’s miniaturized smart bus farebox has lots of advantages, for example, automatic identification of the authenticity of coins, intelligent counting, etc. The farebox is connected to the processing motherboard in the system so that the automatic identification of the authenticity of coins, intelligent counting, real-time data upload, real-time location of dropping coins, and other information can be applied to the bus farebox, which can solve the current problems that the bus cannot verify the authenticity of coins and check the data in real time, and realize the technical processing function of controlling, checking, counting and de-falsifying the coins. To a certain extent, the loss of bus companies can be avoided, which can not only bring great convenience to passengers but also alleviate the work pressure of counting staff. At the same time, it can create an atmosphere of integrity and civilization in society, and ensure that passengers can take the bus without cheating while also providing great convenience for citizens to take the bus.
At present, the proportion of using cash continues to decline. Jinhua Bus is constantly innovating and trying new business models with the empowerment of Golong technology, which can provide the company with feasible possibilities and a technical basis for cost reduction and efficiency. The following business innovation models are attempted by using the technology of miniaturized farebox. The specific advantages are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1.Abnormal coins such as counterfeit money, mutilated currency, foreign currencies, etc. can be returned on the spot based on the smart farebox’s function to identify the authenticity of coins, which can reduce the loss of the bus company.2.Cash income of each bus can be checked in real time through the upload of transaction data of the smart fareboxes so that cash transactions can be known in real time.
3.A new fare payment mode can be realized. Drivers submit the amount of the money every day according to the cash income data of a bus. There is no need for full-time cashiers, banknote counting, mutilated currency repair, counterfeit money processing, financial statistics, escort, handover, etc., which is a cumbersome workflow. At the same time, banks don’t need to count the money as well. Therefore, the operating costs of the bus companies can be greatly reduced.
4.Money can be checked backstage every day in real time. The cash amount submitted by drivers has data-based references, which can avoid the inconsistent money from the source and realize the accurate payment.
5.Hardware transformation of the all-in-one payment system of buses can be realized through the transaction data of the smart farebox. The data are connected with the intelligent terminal equipment. The centralized cloud platform is processed. The mobile payment data and cash data are systematically integrated to provide more refined and accurate data for passenger flow statistics, route optimization, real-time scheduling, line network analysis, and other services.
Through the above technical means, Golong helps buses to realize the digital construction of the all-in-one payment system, improves the informatization level of bus companies, and reduces the pressure of money counting, statistics, and other related work. In addition, Golong assists buses to provide more high-quality service and reach higher technical levels and promotes the use of digitization, intelligence, and informatization in the bus system.
