METRO RAIL DESIGN CRITERIA SECTION 9 / SYSTEMS
DE304.09 9-6 Revision 4: 05/09/12
Metro Baseline Re-Baseline: 04/29/10
present to fare inspectors, or their electronic fare media is encoded to indicate that
the fare has been properly deducted. This function may be performed at the TVM
(until conversion to issuance of smart cards) or at a Stand Alone Validator (SAV), a
small specialized machine designed for this purpose.
Validation capability is also included in TVMs for time until they are converted to
issue smart cards. SAVs are to be provided at stations to initially supplement TVMs
for this purpose. Additional SAVs may need to be provided following conversion of
TVMs to issuance of Smart Cards. At least two SAVs will be provided with the
TVMs within non-paid areas for each platform at non-gated stations. Additional
combinations of TVMs and SAVs may be provided where additional entrances to
specific platforms require this, or where calculations based on ridership warrant it.
Stand Alone Validators provide the following functionality:
Validate smart cards by deducting the designated fare amount and encoding
the new value, with appropriate identifying information.
Confirm validation of a contactless smart card electronic purse
(programmable function) and transmit date, time, location, and SAV
identification number to be stored on the smart card.
Record all validations and transmit all data transactions and event data to
the CDCS.
Be stand-alone devices.
Support eventual TAP In/TAP Out fare policy.
Customer interface complying with requirements of Code of Federal
Regulations, 28 CFR Part 36, “Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability
by Public Accommodations and in Commercial Facilities” and Title 24
California Building & Standards Code (Physical Access Regulations).
D. Fare Gates
Fare gates will provide similar functionality as stated for SAVs, but will require
patrons to tap a properly encoded smart card to open the fare gate barrier to allow
the patron to pass through to access the paid area. Fare gates will also be required
to be able to be tapped for exit to the non-paid area, when this function is activated.
Where a station design allows for installation of fare gates, they shall be located at
or near the entrance to each “paid” area as part of a fare barrier. The fare barrier
shall also include emergency swing gates to support emergency egress and fencing
to provide complete physical separation between paid and non-paid areas.
Fare gates shall include both the turnstile and barrier-leaf (for ADAAG) types, and
along with emergency swing gates, comply with the requirements of Metro’s
Universal Fare System. Capabilities shall include the following:
All station designs considered for implementation of fare gating shall have queuing
analysis/modeling and exit calculations performed to determine feasibility in station
design (Reference Section 9.2.6.B below). Where not feasible, station designs shall
utilize Stand-Alone Validators (SAVs) in lieu of faregates, with SAVs placed in the
Virtual Gate arrangement at or near entrances to platform boarding areas.
