BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 12

By Sadraddin Aghjayev - Trend:

IBA Group international IT holding of Belarus is currently implementing one big transport project in Azerbaijan, Vadim Smotryaev, director of the technical division at IBA Group (Minsk), told Trend on April 12.

“IBA Group jointly with the International Bank of Azerbaijan, RBC, Azericard processing center and Azerbaijan Railways CJSC is implementing a project to ensure payment of travel fare through contactless bank cards,” Smotryaev added.

"The existing turnstiles installed on the Baku-Sumgayit suburban railways have been retrofitted,” the director of the technical division said. “We have installed modern equipment, which we manufacture ourselves in Belarus. The issue is the specialized validators certified for accepting bank cards."

“IBA Group has integrated its solutions with partner companies,” the director of the technical division said. “It is planned to launch this project, which will allow all passengers to pay for travel by using contactless bank cards, soon.”

"This is one of the most difficult scenarios for the calculation of payment for travel,” the director of the technical division said. “It is necessary to calculate the optimal amount of payment for the actual distance for each passenger. The system will track at which stop the passenger entered and at which one the passenger left. Proceeding from this, the fare is calculated.”

“At the moment, the project will be launched only on one branch, but in the future, it is planned to expand, as well as increase the functionality of the payment system,” Smotryaev said.
