Taxi Short Fare
Explanation
In the absence of a short fare system, the combination of long queue times to reach the terminal pick up / drop off areas and frequent drop offs close to the airport precinct (known as a ‘short fare’) can lead to driver resentment and potentially an upset visitor.
The answer lies in a short fare system that calculates distance and time from the start location, to establish a consistent and standardised “short fare”. The system utilises licence plate recognition and GPS technology to identify taxis eligible to jump the taxi rank queue based on their previous fare.
Highlights
- Time-based validation
- GPS validation
- Integration with MTData
- Avoids queue jumping
- Operational analytics and reporting

FAQs
Does all your consulting cost?
No. As part of the initial sales process, our technical sales consultants are happy to guide you through an initial solution design. Large pieces of work may require a paid design phase to get the best possible solution design.
Do we get to keep the design files you produce?
Yes. For paid design work, all documentation produced is yours to keep.
I am concerned about software quality. Do you outsource your software development?
No. All of our software developers are degree qualified software engineers based in Melbourne.
Can I perform my own testing of the project solution to ensure my stakeholders are happy?
Of course. We would actively encourage you to participate in User Acceptance Testing (UAT) where you perform your own test. All we would ask is that you share your testing questions and expectations with us so we can ensure we meet your expectations.
What is the first step?
The first thing to do is to come out to site for a site walk and requirements discussion. Every customer is different and so every solution is tailored to their needs.
What data is collected with each read?
Each plate detection records the following data: infrared and colour images of the vehicle, zoomed in plate image, plate text, time, date, watch list association and GPS location.
Can I see your technology in action?
We’re able to provide live demonstrations via webinar. Please contact 03 8727 6000 to book your live demonstration.
Can you come see what trouble we’re experiencing on site?
Certainly. It’s our preference to do a live site walk-through as part of the consulting phase.
Do I need a guard to attend to the system?
That is up to you. The software can be accessed via any web-enabled device with access, so it is possible for roaming guards to verify vehicles entering whilst not being in the guard house. Or you can choose to have a completely automated system.
