2.2 introduction to the implementer of the pilot project

the pilot enterprise China software and technical services Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as China software, China software, stock code: 600536sh), is a large state-owned high-tech listed software enterprise and a key software enterprise in the national planning layout

the registered capital of the company is 161million yuan, and the total assets are 2.44 billion yuan. The company is located in Beijing Zhongguancun Science and Technology Park, covering an area of 384 mu, with a working and supporting environment of nearly 110000 square meters. It has more than 30 holding and participating companies and branches, including ChinaSoft International (hk8216) and bid winning software

the company has more than 7000 employees. China software is one of the three software bases approved by the former State Planning Commission. Its performance meets the relevant standards of the northern software base, the China Software Park in the Beijing software industry base of the national torch plan, the National 863 achievement industrialization base, and the national key software enterprise. It has passed the "double high certification" organized by the Ministry of science and technology and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, In addition, it has passed the national "software enterprise" certification, the national first-class computer information system integration qualification certification and the computer information system integration qualification certification involving state secrets in the first batch, passed the ISO9001 quality system certification and CMM3, CMMI5 evaluation, and the bank credit rating is AAA

in the field of rail transit, the company has established a professional organization for rail transit, under which there are Rail Transit Communication Division and AFC division, which are specialized in the research of rail transit solutions. The rail transit industry is listed as a key development strategy

with the rapid construction of national rail transit, the AFC business revenue of China soft reached 120million yuan in 2008, and the contract amount reached nearly 400million yuan in 2009, and this figure will grow at a faster rate in the next few years

1.3 the company's situation in the field of RFID

in 2006, the company joined the China RFID industry alliance and became the vice chairman unit of the alliance, giving full play to the industry advantages of China soft in the field of rail transit. We focus on the application innovation of RFID in the field of rail transit. For this reason, the company has applied to the national gold card office and the China RFID Alliance for the capital airport subway line as the application pilot of RFID technology in the field of rail transit at the end of 2006, The application was approved by the national gold card office and China RFID alliance

the pilot implementation is divided into two stages: the first stage is the basic application of RFID technology in the subway AFC system, that is, introducing RFID into AFC equipment, system, management and operation to realize a typical application of RFID technology in the AFC system. The first phase of work has been basically completed with the opening of Beijing Metro capital airport line on July 19 this year

the second stage is mainly based on the innovative application of RFID technology. The goal of this stage is to combine the electronic wallet application of SIM card with the application of one card stored value ticket in AFC system through RFID technology to form an electronic ticket system with more high-tech content that is more convenient for passengers

after the pilot project was launched, CEC and the national gold card office paid great attention to it, formulated the basic strategies of localization and localization, and gave strong support from experts, technical support and other aspects. In the process of project implementation, we adhered to the requirements of the state and the government, and strictly implemented it, so as to ensure that all research results have independent intellectual property rights, and these research results with independent intellectual property rights, In the AFC system project of Beijing Metro capital airport line, it has been rapidly industrialized. The purchase of tensile testing machine itself is the direct investment of experimental products into the national economic construction

at present, as an application software provider and system integrator of the automatic fare collection system of Beijing Metro capital airport line and line 13, our company has strong technical force and application development talents, and has received the support of the national innovation fund. At the same time, we have accumulated a lot of practical experience in the application of RFID in the implementation of the automatic fare collection system of the subway, and we are constantly carrying out research on RFID on this platform

III. Market and application prospects

3.1 the domestic rail transit AFC industry is developing rapidly

has a broad user base: the domestic market survey shows that people are increasingly inclined to take the subway as a daily way of travel, and the automatic fare collection system is the most direct interface between the subway and passengers

extensive application of AFC system: during the Eleventh Five Year Plan period, the mileage of subway and light rail in mega cities across the country will exceed 1500 kilometers, and the total planned mileage will exceed 5000 kilometers. Among them, the automatic fare collection system, because it is the core system to meet large flow, complex transfer, and billing by mileage, has attracted more and more attention from owners

3.2the application of RFID in AFC is becoming more and more extensive

the rapidly growing RFID Market: relevant experts predict that the size of the RFID market will soar from 1.2 billion yuan in 2004 to 5.06 billion yuan in 2009, and will grow rapidly at an average annual growth rate of 33.2%

RFID technology is widely used in Subway:

ticket management: the use of RFID ticket cards; Automatic management and control of ticket box by RFID electronic tag; RFID payment application

locomotive management: traffic safety monitoring; Automatic identification management of vehicle number; Cargo management:

sorting and monitoring of luggage and goods

fund management: automatic management and control of cash boxes with RFID electronic tags; E-wallet, application of automatic settlement system, automatic toll management of vehicle and road traffic, etc
