Automated Fare Collection Market by Application (Rail and Transport, Parking), by Service Type (Consulting, System Implementation), by Technology, by Industry, by Region - Global Forecast to 2021
[157 Pages Report] AFC is generally used to replace public transportation tickets printed on paper with electronic tickets. AFC system designed for public transportation and micro-payment operations is a stored value-based, contactless smart card application, which can be augmented with the mobile ticketing application. AFC is generally used to easily collect the usage data by automatically logging transactions, for better planning and optimization of services, flexible pricing schemes, easy access to combined services, and customer convenience. AFC prevents illegal generation and manipulation of data stored on cards. It prevents reading from one card and writing on another one. It prevents the cloning of cards.
The overall AFC market size is expected to grow from USD 6.42 billion in 2016 to USD 11.95 billion by 2021, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 13.2% during the forecast period. Compatible features and better accessibility to the AFC network are some of the factors that are expected to drive the adoption trends of AFC in the coming years. The need for solutions that allow congestion-free traffic and reduce environmental pollution avenues in organizations is expected to drive the adoption trends of AFC in the years to come. Rising usage of AFC solutions has further increased the adoption of AFC services.
The Rail and Transport sub-segment in the application segment is expected to hold the largest market size during the forecast period
The dominant force driving the adoption of AFC is the need among service providers to have products that enable intercity operability, with no revenue leakages
The training, support, and maintenance services segment is expected to have the largest market size during the forecast period
Training, support, and maintenance services include the fundamental topics that will help one understand the more advanced concepts of AFC technologies. It is recommended for business owners, application developers and operators, and other technical professionals who want to have a clear understanding of AFC. The implementation of a proper maintenance regime is essential to the efficient performance of an AFC system. Maintenance and support allow users to perform tasks without any digression. It involves fixing operational issues or performing periodic inspections to avoid the occurrence of any unscheduled or unfocused event. These AFC training, support, and maintenance services enable users to understand the various technological concepts and how to use them effectively.
The AFC market in APAC is expected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2016 to 2021
The transportation and logistics, government, and media & entertainment industries are the largest adopters of AFC products, mainly due to the presence of large numbers of fare collection systems present within these industries. APAC is the fastest-growing region for the AFC market in most industries, including retail, media & entertainment, and government.
Market Dynamics
Driver: Benefit of cashless travel facility
The facility of cashless travel can be obtained with the AFC system as it directly debits from a bank account of the driver/owner of a car, for the services used by the owner. This gives them the freedom and convenience to travel as and when they want without the need to carry cash around. Nowadays, the trend is shifting toward card payments, where making payments through debit and credit cards has become very common. This is a strong driver of the AFC system, and its impact is medium at present.
Restraint: High installation cost
One of the major factors limiting the growth of the AFC system market is the high installation cost. AFC system installation requires a higher cost than other toll collection systems, such as manual tolling. The system also requires high maintenance, which further increases the expenses. In the traditional method, the expenses are compensated either by tax payment on fuel or rubber or by a budget allocation from the national income. An AFC system comprises equipment and products based on advanced technologies, making the system complex and expensive. The system gives a solution to traffic congestion issues; however, it simultaneously increases the cost of the tolling process, which ultimately increases the toll price. Moreover, a large centralized Traffic Management Centre (TMC) is required to be co-located with transportation managers, system operators, dispatchers, and response agencies in the AFC system. All these lead to a huge investment.
Thus, it has become essential to consider other control strategies to decrease the overall system cost to a reasonable level without compromising the system performance or modifying the public perception of the services offered. The implementation of AFC includes installation of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras, microwave detectors, Dynamic Message Signs (DMS), Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS), Highway Advisory Radio (HAR), and others; for example, Mobile Data Terminals (MDTs) are an important component of the transit fleet management systems. The impact of this restraint is high at present but is expected to decrease in the coming years.
Opportunity: Shift toward open road tolling
AFC systems are installed on most of the roads in developed countries and are also being installed in developing countries to a great extent. The ORT system enables free-flow tolling and avoids the necessity of toll booths at toll plazas. This not only reduces the infrastructure and labor cost, but also helps in avoiding traffic congestion. According to subject matter experts, most of the upcoming toll projects of different countries are based on ORT. The impact of this opportunity is high.
Challenge: Lack of interoperability and standardization among automated fare collection products
Uniformity in the implementation of various AFC systems is an issue; for instance, an electronic toll collection On-Board Unit (OBU) does not have any display and only performs validation functions. Besides, it cannot receive or transmit any message. Moreover, every country has a different type of OBU device. The major problem in implementing AFC is integration with IT. The implementation and significant use of IT is a process of interrelated steps. Any error or redundancy in any of the stages during the implementation reduces its efficiency. In 2014, the European Commission introduced a new standard for AFCs: EN 302 637 3, which defines the Decentralized Environmental Notification (DEN) basic service that supports road hazard warning; this European standard is different from the US standard. DEN provides information related to a road hazard or an abnormal traffic condition, including AFC type and position. Typically, for an AFC application, a message is circulated to AFC stations that are located within a geographic area through direct V2V or V2I communication to alert drivers regarding a potentially dangerous event.
