On a Chinese made busPOSTerminal, how did it get to the other side of the earth?

Recently in ChileÑuble A new device has been added to the buses in the New Flats area: passengers can lean their faces, pull out a card, or light up their phones,"Di Di"With one sound, the deduction is completed.

Chilean National Television 24 Horas In the camera, neither the passengers nor the driver gave it a second glance——This matter started running like this.

This device is from DeKa Technology in Shenzhen（P18Q Facial recognition in car POS Terminal, a smart terminal made in Shenzhen, can successfully deduct fees on the other side of the world without relying on anything"Black technology"It is an engineering capability that has been repeatedly validated in multiple countries and scenarios.

▌1、 What kind of machine is it

P18Q It's Deka P18 The third generation flagship of the series, positioned as"Intelligent version of bus onboard POS Terminal"It puts three things in a small box with a hanging rod installation: facial recognition, QR codeIC card / NFC.

At the hardware level, several key parameters determine its ability to operate on buses"harsh environment"Can stay here:

• Operating temperature -30°C ~ +70°CCan be used for both severe cold in the north and high temperature in the south;
• wide voltage 9V~48V DC Input, can be installed on pure electric, gasoline, and hybrid models;
• IP54 Dustproof and waterproofIK07 Collision avoidance;
• complete machine 224mm × 228mm × 95mm, about 900g, suspension rod or wall mounted.
  on screen 7 Inch main screen + 7 Expand the secondary screen by inches. The main screen displays payment information and advertisements for passengers, while the secondary screen displays the deduction results for drivers. The camera module has monocular, binocular3D Three levels of structured light are available for selection——Urban buses generally use binocular vision, while airport buses, which are more sensitive to fraudulent use, use binocular vision 3D Construct millimeter level modeling using structured light.

Recognition speed < 0.3 In seconds, local face storage reaches tens of thousands of levels, and cloud collaboration achieves millions of levels. Live detection can block photos, masks, and 3D Print the model.

On the payment end"One machine to the end"It's another card: the same machine supports WeChat ride code, Alipay, UnionPay cloud flash paymentVisa payWave、Mastercard ContactlessTransportation interconnection card, ID card, social security cardNFC Capture rewardsApple / Huawei / Xiaomi Pay.Visa and Mastercard International certification.

▌2、 Why can it run out of the country

Making hardware solid is a prerequisite for going global, but not everything.P18Q Standing firm overseas relies on the combination of three things.

Firstly, international payment authentication.Visa payWave and Mastercard Contactless Certification is not a one-time deal——It corresponds to the compliance requirements of the issuing bank, acquiring bank, and clearing party for the equipment. Got it, which means the device can be connected to any device Visa / Mastercard The country's network directly enters the clearing system, without the need to reconnect every time. That's also why it can run from Citybus Hong Kong to Chile, Colombia, and Brazil.

Secondly, local regulatory and operational capabilities. Chile is a Spanish speaking region, and its currency is the peso. The currency format, decimal place, and ticketing rules are different from those in China.P18Q The software platform from 2020 Starting from the year, leave 5.x International version of the route,UI Support EN / ZH / HK / AR / RU Waiting for multiple languages, clear settlement can be connected to UnionPay ODAYinsheng Payment, Weifutong, and Deka's own SAAS Multiple channels such as cloud. Leave local operations to local partners, with hardware provided by the hardware provider"Identify + Payment + SAAS"The complete set of abilities.

Thirdly, scene adaptation. There are several anti common sense points in the public transportation scene: the more advanced, the better.3D Structured light is necessary on airport buses, but it is over configured on regular city buses; Voltage range, temperature resistance, and earthquake resistance are actually key. Deka has subdivided the hardware levels into: economical (monocular) + Live algorithm), recommendation type (binocular) + Infrared live), flagship model（3D Structured lighting allows customers to choose by scene, rather than relying on one set to conquer the world.

▌3、 From Citybus Hong Kong to Chile

If you only look at Chile, you might think that Decca is only working on South American projects. Returning to the global deployment table, it is already in place 20multiple countries / Regional landing:

• Hong Kong, China: Citybus Citybus 2000+ A car has been installed P18QEvery day 3 ten thousand+ Passengers brush their faces / scan the QR code / Swipe your card to board the car,NFC The property has already been commercially operated in Hong Kong;
• Chile: Coverage Ñuble Waiting area;
• Colombia
• Vietnam: Hanoi;
• Indonesia: Bali, Jakarta;
• Brazil: Sao Paulo;
• Israel:

According to Deka, the cumulative deployment of vehicles in30000 Car left and right.

▌4、 For Decca, overseas is not about selling hardware

Take a step back from the perspective. The true value of this project in Chile lies not in"How many units have been sold P18Q"And it verifies one thing:

The overseas deployment of in car intelligent terminals is not just about installing the device in the other party's car. Recognition algorithms need to adapt to facial features of different ethnicities (Caucasian, Latin, Southeast Asian), and payment needs to be accepted Visa / Mastercard The liquidationUI To achieve multilingual operations, it is necessary to entrust them to local partners.P18Q The only way to make this whole set run smoothly is through the past 20 Years of accumulation on smart terminals.
