This paper describes the study and the experimental application of a position related fare system based on Global Positioning System (GPS) location. The activities have been developed under GAUDI V2027 project. In the assumed fare collection system, fares are computed as a function of the number of fare zones which are travelled through during the journey. An on-board system processes data input location from the GPS, odometer, gyroscope and data input (destination) from the users and debits applied for the trip through the validator. (A)
