The rail passenger and freight traffic worldwide could grow at a considerable rate annually. To meet growing rail traffic needs, annual transport investment is expected to increase at a significant rate. AFC systems market is a core component of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and the technology is primarily deployed to automate and manage the fare collection in public transport.
ITS is able to estimate the best fare for the commuter, depending on the travel length, prior journeys and any relevant discounts. It can therefore bring value to end-users along with transport authorities.
Investments for global infrastructure development are on the rise; however, delays and shortages of funding may also impede ongoing and future developments.
