[Prior art]
Conventionally, an automatic ticket gate for an excellent train such as the Shinkansen uses a limited express ticket and a route-type ticket that can be used on an excellent train as a target for determination of the ticket gate (entrance or participation). The limited express ticket and the route-type ticket are both tickets in which an effective route from the departure station (boarding station) to the arrival station (get-off station) is specified.
[0003]
To further explain based on the route map of FIG. 4, when you get on the honor train from A station, which is the honor train stop station of the a line, and get off at the C station which is the honor train stop station of the a line, An express ticket in which an effective route from A station to C station is specified (displayed) and a route-type ticket including a route from A station to C station are required.
[0004]
For this reason, the automatic ticket gates at station A (sometimes simply referred to as “ticket gates”) enter the venue on condition that a limited express ticket and a route-type ticket satisfying the route conditions of the limited express ticket are inserted. Configured to allow.
[0005]
When a user (passenger) who enters from A station gets off at C station and enters from C station, the express ticket that satisfies the getting-off condition at C station and the route condition of the express ticket are entered into the ticket gate at C station. Participation is permitted on condition that a route ticket that meets the requirements is inserted.
[0006]
In other words, conventional automatic ticket gates for high-quality trains are configured so that upon entering and exiting, valid sections, routes, direction agreements, and route length relationships between limited express tickets and tickets are checked. .
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the above-mentioned conventional automatic ticket gates for high-quality trains, the tickets to be judged are limited to route-type tickets, and monetary-type tickets that are not restricted to routes are related to limited express tickets. We do not check sex. For this reason, there was a risk of allowing unauthorized boarding .
