Method of managing transportation fare, server performing the same and system performing the same

A server to manage transit fares for a transportation system, comprising:

• a network interface for communicatively coupling to at least one remote network device that is communicatively coupled to at least one fare terminal;
• a storage device that stores a plurality of fare modules according to a transit fare policy, the plurality of fare modules corresponding to a prescribed category of fare and configured to determine a fare based on the prescribed category;
• and
• a controller configured to manage the fare policy using the plurality of fare modules, the controller configured to
• select at least one fare module according to the transit fare policy;
• set at least one parameter in the selected fare module;
• and
• transmit the set parameter to the at least one terminal through the at least one remote network device to apply the transit fare policy to the at least one terminal.

A system for managing transit fares in a transportation system, comprising:

• a management server that manages the transportation system;
• and
• at least one fare terminal communicatively coupled to the management server and configured to determine a fare based on a transit fare policy from the management server, wherein
• a plurality of fare modules for defining the transit fare policy is stored on the management server and the at least one fare terminal,
• the management server selects at least one fare module according to the transit fare policy, sets at least one parameter in the selected fare module, and transmits the set parameter to the at least one terminal, and
• the at least one fare terminal receives the set parameter from the management server and updates a fare module corresponding to the selected fare module on the server to apply the transit fare policy in the at least one terminal.
