Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for automatically determining and implementing fare validation rules based on analysis of rejected transactions from one or more fare validators. In some embodiments, a server or other monitoring system can monitor rejected transactions, determine a common characteristic among all the rejected transactions, and create a validation rule change that would permit the use of fare media having the common characteristic. In some embodiments, the validation rule change may be reviewed and/or modified by a transit agent or other human supervisor. Accordingly, among other benefits, validation rule changes can be automatically created and quickly implemented where a number of rejected transactions indicate previous validation rules may be incorrect.
