Abstract: A transportation system for identifying an object using a short range radar at a transportation gate. The transportation system includes one or more short range radars and a cloud server. The radars detect the object within a predetermined distance from the transportation gate and sense the object to generate a point cloud. An identification of the object is determined based on sensed data of the object using a machine learning algorithm from the cloud server. The identification is determined based on matching the point cloud with a plurality of profiles. The plurality of profiles includes matching information for a plurality of predetermined objects. The object is selected from the plurality of predetermined objects using the matching information. An authorization for the object is determined using another machine learning algorithm. Based on the authorization, either the passage through the transportation gate is authorized or the object is flagged as unauthorized.

Abstract: A method for operating an adaptive gateline may include detecting a patron approaching a gateline. The method may include determining whether the gateline should be operated in a standard mode or in a modified mode based at least in part on data from one or more sensors. The method may include operating the gateline in the standard mode or in the modified mode based on the determination. In the modified mode a barrier of the gateline operates to provide one or both of extra time or additional space for the patron to pass through the gateline relative to the standard mode.

Abstract: A transit system including an access control point, a positioning system, a tracking system, and a server. The access control point provides a passage to a transit user for taking a trip through the transit system. The server receives a first location and visual cues of the transit user. The first location is determined using the positioning system and a mobile device. Candidate locations and visual cues of other transit users are obtained from the tracking system. The server correlates the first location to a candidate location and compares the visual cues of the transit user with the other transit users. A correlated location is determined and the first location and the visual cues of the transit user are verified. The server verifies terms of a transit pass of the transit user. Based on the verification, usage of the transit pass is allowed for passing through the access control point.

Abstract: A secondary validator includes a communications interface with a first antenna and a second antenna having a shorter signal range than the first antenna. The validator also includes a processor and a memory having instructions that, when executed by the processor cause the validator to receive, using the first antenna, vehicle information from a first vehicle that is within a signal range of the first antenna. The vehicle information includes route information associated with the first vehicle. The validator provides an indication for a passenger that has exited the first vehicle to check out, reads checkout information from a fare media using the second antenna, detects another vehicle present within a signal range of the first antenna, and provides the checkout information and at least a portion of the transit vehicle information to a primary validator positioned on the another vehicle for subsequent transmission to a transit system back office.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for implementing an audio assisted dynamic barcode system. A gate validation system may include a barcode reader, a speaker, and a processor configured to perform operations including receiving, using the barcode reader, a first barcode from a portable electronic device indicating a request for passage through a gate. The operations may also include outputting, using the speaker, an audio signal having a predetermined feature. The operations may further include receiving, using the barcode reader, a second barcode from the portable electronic device indicating a detected feature of the audio signal. The operations may further include determining that the detected feature matches the predetermined feature and, in response to determining that the detected feature matches the predetermined feature, facilitating passage of a holder of the portable electronic device through the gate.
