The solution involves a newly established major railway in South Sulawesi Province in Indonesia, covering the  entire province with over 145km distance and a total investment of IDR $971,000,000,000. The first stage of the  establishment of the railway involves 10 stations including Marang, Labakkang, Garongkong, Mangilu, Mandale,  Ramang-ramang, Maros, Pangkajene, Tanette Rilau and Barru. The Railway is highly expected by the Government of Indonesia to expand the passenger capacity and boost the  economy and the development of the tourism. On 6th November 2022, trial run of the railway was initiated, and  the officials of the South Sulawesi Province attended the inauguration ceremonies in Garangkong and Mangilu.  The first stage of establishment of the railway is expected to be finished in early November, and the Minister  of Transportation of Indonesia is expected to present in the visit to the various stations, and followed by Joko  Widodo, the President of Indonesia, to attend the grand inauguration ceremony of the railway in the coming  December.

Solution

ZKTeco deployed entrance control systems for the 10 newly established railway stations, withFBL2000,  FBL2200,  FBL200 and  FBL220  Flap Barriers, and TS2000 Pro and TS1000 Pro Tripod Turnstiles to form multi-channel entrances and exits. All channels are deployed with ZKTeco QR500B QR Code & Barcode Scanners.Ticketing systemare provided and operated by the management department of the railway stations.

Client Requirements

A. Integration with the Existing System

• There are currently 2 methods of ticketing, including online ticketing and walk-in ticketing.

• There is already an efficient ticketing app. for purchasing tickets, and website online ticketing is also expected to be completed in the coming year.

• Prepaid RFID card payment operated by E-money, which is a prevailing consumption management system in Indonesia, is currently being integrated with the third-party controllers in the system, and is estimated to be officially in two months.

• The solution must be able to integrate with the existing system and the newly added system in the soon future.

Solution Details

• For online ticketing, passengers may purchase digital tickets via Jokka app., and upon successful payment via the Internet, passengers will be each issued an E-ticket with a barcode for the authentication of the access to the railway

• For walk-in ticketing, passengers may purchase for physical tickets at the stations for the access to the railway

• ZKTeco installed QR500B QR Code & Barcode Scanners in the entrances and exits, which are able to directly scan and read the barcodes on both digital tickets purchased online and physical tickets purchased at the stations, for quick authentication of passengers to take the railway.

• For the prepaid RFID card payment, as ZKTeco’s all installed gate barriers and turnstiles enable flexible integration with other third-party systems, with no changes are required, they can all be installed with the card readers of the existing systems of the railway and connect to the control systems. Upon simple and convenient installation of card readers, passengers will be enabled to directly swipe cards and have access to the railway.

B. Capability for the Large Passenger Flow

• As the stations are located in the major cities with high population density, and the railway is expected to be the major method of commuting, the passenger flow thus will be significantly large.

• During the peak hour the stations’traffic could be extremely busy.

• The solution must enable smooth access and exit in order to ensure smooth traffic for the large passenger flow.

Solution Details

• ZKTeco installed TS2000 Pro and TS1000 Pro Tripod Turnstiles in the stations, which enable throughput as many as 30 times per minute for quick access of large passenger flow.

• QR500B QR Code & Barcode Scanner enables up to 5cm reading distance for quick and precise code scanning and authentication.

• For entrances and exits in certain periods with extra-large passenger flow, ZKTeco installed FBL2000, FBL2200, FBL200 and FBL220 Flap Barriers, which enable throughput of 42 times per minute for quicker access to the railway.

• All gate barriers and tripod turnstiles are equipped with indicator light display to guide passengers for quick access.

C. Semi-outdoor Application

• As some entrances and exits are in semi-outdoor environment, the impacts of temperature and humidity on  the system are particularly evident. 

• The solution must ensure proper operation of the system in semi-outdoor environment with higher changes of  temperature and humidity.

Solution Details

• All shells of the installed gate barriers and tripod turnstiles are made of high-quality SUS304 stainless steel, and  are able to properly operate in a temperature range from -28°C to 60°C and in a relative humidity range from 55  to 80%. • QR500B QR Code & Barcode Scanner is also able to properly operate in a temperature range from -10°C to 50°C  and in a relative humidity range from 20 to 80%.
