Moscow's Department of Transport announced the start of recruitment for testers of contactless payment for ground transportation.
Consensus
- Moscow has started recruiting 150 testers for a contactless payment system in public transport
- The system will use two verification methods: wireless tags in the vehicle and biometric cameras
- The test focuses on automatic route detection technology
- Participants will be selected from passengers using buses and electric buses on routes 40, m53k, and 78
- The goal is to prevent duplicate charges and ensure accurate passenger identification under various conditions
- Interested individuals must submit an application online
Points of divergence
- The technology must determine which bus or electric bus a passenger is in — ntv
- The system will be tested to ensure it does not cause duplicate charges if a fare has already been paid via 'Troika' — m24
- The system must work well in different lighting conditions including sunny days, twilight, and bad weather — m24
