Abstract: Disclosed is a method for automatically detecting the use of a means of transport (10; 16) conveying persons. According to said method, a transmitter emits signals, a receiver receives signals emitted by the transmitter, positional and/or movement-related data of the means of transport are determined, and the use of the means of transport is detected based on an evaluation of the change in intensity of successive signals received by the receiver as well as the positional and/or movement-related data.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for automatically determining a fare for utilizing chargeable means of transport conveying persons. According to said method, a credit which is established in a currency that is valid in a first currency zone and is used for automatically deducting the fare when utilizing a means of transport is allocated to a user terminal, a factor for converting the first currency into a second currency that is valid in a second currency zone is defined as soon as the user terminal is utilized in a second currency zone, and fares are automatically determined in the second currency, are converted into the first currency using the defined conversion factor, and are deducted from the credit established in the first currency as long as the user terminal is not utilized in another currency zone.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for reserving tickets and/or extra charges for utilizing chargeable means of transport conveying persons with the aid of a display unit (10) and at least one user terminal (26). According to said method, the user terminal (26) is advanced to a display field (14; 16; 18; 20; 24) of the display unit (10) indicating a type of ticket and/or extra charge, whereupon a communication that triggers the reservation of the type of ticket and/or extra charge takes place between the user terminal (26) and the corresponding display field (14; 18; 20; 24).

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for checking electronic tickets which are assigned to user terminals and are preferably used within a system for automatically detecting the utilization of chargeable means of transport conveying persons and/or deducting the fare. According to said method, a verification data telegram is transmitted while user terminals that receive the verification data telegram optically and/or acoustically output signals which represent the validity of the electronic ticket.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for the automatic detection of the use of chargeable means of transport conveying passengers. Said method is characterized in that at least one transmitter located in the area of the means of transport sends out data telegrams in the form of unidirectional communication while said data telegrams are received and further processed by a terminal of the user utilizing the means of transport.
