7.3: Provide Electronic Fare Collection

This page shows the collection of processes that make up the Electronic Fare Collection facility within the Provide Electronic Payment Services function. These processes transact the payments for transit fares either for current trips by travelers, or as advanced payments by drivers and travelers.

The key points about the facility are as follows:
- Travelers can pay fares without stopping as they board the transit vehicle or at a transit stop;
- Travelers can also pay in advance for tolls and parking lot charges, as well as for traveler services;
- Travelers may request payment of the fare by a third party;
- Images of travelers making invalid payments are sent to the Manage Emergency Services function.

There are 5 processes in this collection and one is a collection of lower level processes itself. The others are lower level Process Specifications (PSpecs) that are assigned to Physical Objects in the ARC-IT physical view.
