AUTOMATIC PASSENGER GATE SYSTEM USING WIRELESS IC CARD

A prototype automatic passenger gate using a newly developed wireless IC card system has been developed and successfully demonstrated. The wireless IC card system uses several key technologies: a circularly polarized patch antenna for the transmitter, a small-size dual-port slot antenna for the card, a simple modulation/demodulation scheme for stable data transmission, a co-channel allocation system for operation with multiple gates, a high-density mounting technology that lightens the thickness of the card by introducing a low-voltage microcontroller, and devising software enabling intermittent operation to realize a very low total power consumption of the wireless IC card. The gate used in the prototype automatic gate system is the same size as the magnetic card automatic gates that are widely used in railway stations. The transmitter is mounted on the gate. The wireless IC card is the same size as the commuter card used in a magnetic card system except for the thickness. The wireless IC card has greater memory and central processsing unit capacity, which allows applications in commuter card and more sophisticated systems, such as stored fare card, bus fare collection, and expressway electronic toll collection systems. In this paper, the new developed automatic passenger gate sytem and its hardware are described.
