ABSTRACT
West Japan Railway Company (hereinafter referred to as "JR West") introduced the IC card ticket system "JCOCA" and has expanded the use area of the IC card. For the local lines, the onboard type of ticket gate machine for the IC card ticket is introduced to allow to use the IC card. This type of ticket gate machine is also effective for reducing the burden on the train crew. The introduction of this on-board type of IC ticket gate is our effort to allow passengers to smoothly get on/off and to provide safe and secure transport service under the COVID-19 epidemic. © 2022 Japan Railway Engineers' Association.

ABSTRACT
The outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 greatly impacted China's transportation industry. This paper aims to analyze this impact and the indispensable role of public transport control measures in preventing the spread of the epidemic. The impact of SARS and COVID-19 was compared. Taking Hebei Province as an example, the impact of the epidemic on the public transport industry was analyzed. The information of Jincheng public transport network and bus IC card data were selected for analysis. The parameters of bus network density and bus line repetition coefficient were calculated. The number of bus departures of each line before and after Jincheng epidemic was counted. Based on the data of bus IC card, the dynamic network of passenger contact was constructed, and the passenger contact network diagram was drawn. The analysis results can inform and enable urban public transport departments to take control measures when public health emergencies occur. © 2021 CICTP 2021: Advanced Transportation, Enhanced Connection - Proceedings of the 21st COTA International Conference of Transportation Professionals.
