Train ticket gate system employing optical wireless communications

Abstract

This paper presents a novel ticket gate system employing optical wireless communication used at a train station in Japan. The proposed system needs two optical wireless card readers attached to two inner sides of the gate. According to our study, we found that the proposed system has higher received power compared to the conventional train ticket gate system. It also has higher probability of success as long as the communication distance is less than 0.28 meters. As a result, the proposed system has a better performance compared to the conventional one and its availability is guaranteed.
