Researchers at the Korea Railroad Research Institute ^[4] (KRRI) in Uiwang-si are developing a “smart gate-free system” that will enable passengers using public transport services to automatically pay their fares from their mobile device by walking across a “smart block” in the floor.

“The smart gate-free system is a technology that allows passengers with smart devices to pay fares without physical contact, such as getting on/off tags, when using public transportation such as city railroads,” the KRRI explains.

“A smart block installed in the floor where passengers pass recognises the smartphone app or smart token the passenger has and collects usage fees.

“Even when passengers get on and off, such as commuting to and from work, the location of numerous passengers, such as platforms, routes and gates, is accurately recognised in real time through Internet of Things (IoT) technology and fares are settled.”

In addition to removing the need to tap a physical card or mobile device, the system will also mean that “transportation-disabled people, such as the elderly, the disabled, [passengers with] strollers and people with bulky and heavy luggage” will no longer have
