1.2 Technology and card layout 5<br />

make very precise profiles of each card’s usage patterns, etc. The three different<br />

types are:<br />

• Personalized: These cards are personal, and the name and photo of the<br />

owner is printed on the card. This will likely be the standard card that<br />

commuting Danes will use.<br />

• Pseudo-anonymous, also known as “Rejsekortet Flex:” This card is<br />

flexible in the sense that it can be used by anyone, not just the owner.<br />

This would for example be used in companies that pay for the employees’<br />

occasional travel, or parents who own a card that their children use.<br />

• Anonymous: This card is likely targeted for tourists and other travellers.<br />

It is completely anonymous and can be used by whoever possesses it. This<br />

card is currently not marketed on the website for Rejsekortet, which only<br />

reinforces the thesis of it being for tourists. Never the less, it can be<br />

assumed that these cards are possible to get hold of once the system is<br />

deployed nationwide.<br />

There are different grades of discounts available in the system. To encourage<br />

people to use the personal version of the card, the highest level of discount<br />

attainable is only available in the fully personalized version. Flex users get<br />

“zero to medium” discount, and the same goes for anonymous users, [8].<br />

1.2.2.3 Terminals<br />

This thesis deals with three different types of terminals used in the Rejsekort<br />

system. These are:<br />

• Check-in terminals are used on stations when a user wants to commence<br />

a travel.<br />

• Top-up terminals are used for loading money from a credit card to a<br />

Rejsekort. These are also situated on stations, and do not require the user<br />

to hold the card in front of a reader. Instead the user is supposed to put<br />

the card into a slot.<br />

• Conductor terminals are used by conductors on buses or trains to check<br />

if the users have checked-in.
