STraffic establishes ‘UWB’-based contactless public transportation payment system Expectation of adoption of global standards based on next-generation technology [Edaily Reporter Lee Jeong-hyun] STraffic (234300), together with the Seoul Transportation Corporation, is developing the world's first non-contact public transportation payment method, the 'Tagless System', and a new QR code-based payment system in connection with the '2nd Project Speed gate for Manufacturing, Purchase and Installation '. It was announced on the 2nd that it was built.
STraffic is improving the speed gate in 174 passages at 70 stations and at the same time installing a 'tagless system'. It is to embody a hybrid app to integrate the function of Bluetooth and 'UWB (Ultra-Wide Band)' in 10 passages at 4 stations in Seoul Transportation Corporation (Yongdap Station on Line 2, Oksu Station on Line 3, and Dongjak/Sadang Station on Line 4).
STraffic's
independently developed tagless technology is designed to minimize the range of
error through Bluetooth location measurement to accurately charge users, and
UWB technology, which can measure precise location, was applied in parallel to
the new speed gate.
Tagless gates allow for convenient boarding and alighting without tagging the transportation card to the gate, and are currently being introduced in some subways. It is expected that it will help ease the use of transportation for the vulnerable and reduce station congestion. Additionally, since there is no preparation process to take out a card or smartphone and stop in advance, it is expected to increase convenience for users by reducing waiting lines for ticket gate payments and congestion at stations

UWB
technology, a next-generation wireless communication technology, is widely used
in real life, such as precise location measurement for industrial safety and
automobile smart keys. As the number of smartphone models adopting UWB
technology applied to premium smartphones gradually expands, it is expected
that the UWB technology-based transportation card system will be adopted as a
global standard in the future.
An STraffic official
said, “We will establish ourselves as a leading company in the public
transportation payment field by building an innovative transportation card
system by applying UWB, a next-generation wireless communication technology in
parallel with Bluetooth technology, to subway gates.” He added, “Including this
tagless system, we will establish an innovative transportation card system.”
“We will continue to aggressively expand the global market through continued
technological development and innovation,” he said.
