The core of works was supply, installation and testing and commissioning of equipment as well as replacement action of func- tional passage control turnstiles AKP-73 with turnstiles “NAUTILUS” produced by “LOT”. Turnstiles “NAUTILUS” were included in the integrated system of traffic flow’s management and control and the means of payment circulation analysis. Works were performed comprehensively and on time despite of transportation difficulties. During the installation and commissioning there were some bugs connected with software. However, troubles were solved after replacement the firmware upgrade on POS-terminals. Since the start time the system has been working consistently. The inconsiderable disturbance is connected with coin slide’s functioning, overhearded plastic token coins jam in coin slide and they are the principal cause of system problem. The input of electronic contactless fare system allows to get many reports, thanks to them it became much easy for units and management to function, and the system service level was much in- creased thanks to on-line diagnostics and control. Engineering solutions and engineering data delivered were com- pletely on a par with technical enquiry demands.

Selected Projects AFC System in Kharkov Metro, Ukraine

Automatic Fare Collection System in Kharkov Metro, Ukraine LOT Group delivered a full update of the fare collection system to the Kharkov Metro in 2012. Our company has developed, installed and integrated automatic fare collection system at 29 stations with a passenger flow of 700 000 – 800 000 passengers per day. The implementation effort included the following: • Major modernization of 432 turnstiles. • Manufacture and installation of 117 automatic ticket-vending machines. • Manufacture and installation of 30 automatic card-vending machines. • Installation of 29 station servers. The efficiency of the system implementation is due to the substitution of high maintenance equipment for a less expensive one. It resulted in a significant increase in the number of passengers who use contactless cards (from 23 to 75%). This has facilitated greatly the implementation of a unified fare collection system for the whole of Kharkov’s public transit system. Currently the system operates successfully. In 2016 a new “Pobeda” station was put into service on the Alekseievskaia line. As part of the project 28 turnstiles were updated and 6 automatic vending ticket machines were manufactured and installed.
