Improving Safety and Ease of Use in Automatic Electric Vehicle Rental Systems

Abstract

Near field connection (NFC) technology has become widespread in mobile devices. Thanks to this, it can be used in the tourism industry. Typically, tourists do not use the services of local mobile operators because of the short stay. Standard Internet packages in roaming have a rather high cost. This causes problems when a rental vehicle is required. A new model of system architecture for vehicle network operators is proposed. This model allows increasing the level of transaction security and reducing the mobile traffic cost for tourists. The article describes the capabilities of mobile devices with the NFC as storage of private data and possible ways to reduce mobile traffic through the use of VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) services.
