DigiCore, a South African provider of GPS fleet management, vehicle tracking and EMV-based fare management solutions, has chosen to integrate a contactless reader from On Track Innovations with its fare validators. OTI has received the first order to supply 4,000 smart card readers, together with a commitment for further orders as the project develops.
DigiCore’s new fare system, built on its C-track system, uses OTI’s Saturn 6500 reader to reduce cash handling by the driver. Reloadable, EMV compliant pre-paid cards will be issued to commuters to enable contactless transactions in accordance with the requirements of the contactless payment scheme of the South African National Department of Transport.
