[Audio] QR ticketing system for metro systems is made up of several logical entities that work together to make the system secure and efficient. The entities are the customers, the transit operator, the ticket validator and the ticket issuers. Each entity has its own set of responsibilities which contribute to the overall functioning of the system. Customers use the ticket to enter and exit the metro. The transit operator is responsible for the overall management of the system and ensuring secure transactions. The ticket validator checks the tickets and scans the QR code to verify its authenticity. Finally, the ticket issuers are responsible for printing the tickets and for providing the customers with the necessary information on the validity of the ticket. All these entities work together to create a secure and efficient ticketing system..

[Audio] The use of QR Codes for an automatic fare collection system in the metro has revolutionized how commuters interact with the transit system. It provides each ticket with uniqueness and security, removing the need for paper tickets or tokens. Three components make up the system; the ticket authorizer/validator, the AFC System and the Ticket Generator. The validator does the security validation, while the AFC System updates all the transit data onto the system. The Ticket Generator communicates with the AFC System, providing it information concerning newly procured QR codes. Communication between validator and TG is conducted securely via a TCP channel such as SSL or TLS, employing standard protocols like HTTPS, SFTP, SCP and TCP/IP Sockets..

[Audio] QR codes provide an efficient way for metro systems to implement an automatic fare collection system. In a single operator architecture, the QR code is generated by the application provider and read by ticketing gates from the same provider. In a multi-operator architecture, multiple application providers generate the QR code for customers, which can then be read by multiple ticketing gateway providers. Both architectures offer high levels of security, allowing customers to purchase tickets securely while providing operators with insights into customer behaviour. By using a mobile or webclient app and app provider, metro systems can benefit from a more efficient fare collection system with the use of QR codes, making it easier and faster for customers to pay for tickets..

[Audio] QR ticketing systems have revolutionized the way people travel on metro systems. This system enables quick verification and validation of customer tickets at validating terminals, using a hybrid of online and offline components. After successful verification of the QR code, which contains an authentic digital signature, the ticket can be considered valid. The transaction status must also be updated in the AFC systems at specified intervals, to provide tallies with tickets purchased. Entry transactions will have a transaction amount of zero, while exit transactions will record the amount of people allowed in a ticket..
