RFID BASED AUTOMATIC BUS TICKITING SYSTEM

Public utility buses are the most commonly used vehicle in a long distance journey passing through provincial and national roads. Problems in bus transactions are being encountered. Usually, the passengers do not have exact amount in paying bus fares and the conductors " method of collection is time-consuming. This project study focuses on the use of available technologies, such as RFID and Android. These are the tools used by the proponents to develop an improved system of bus fare transactions. This system includes an electronic card, which will be used by the passenger to pay for their fares, an RFID reader will also be used to accumulate and to store the information from the card, and an Android operated device, which will process each transaction. This system will be connected via Bluetooth. The software is linked to the hardware as well. The proponents conducted series of tests and concluded that the proposed system is much faster than the existing methods. It is verified as well that it is more capable of performing necessary actions in accumulating bus fares.

This work aims at designing a student monitoring system which could effectively manage presence of students at school buses. Student's presence is marked after each student's identification. For the identification of student, a RFID based system is used. RFID method is considered to be the best and fastest method for identification. So, the framework is developed for managing the student's attendance. RFID reader is placed in the school bus, hence whenever the student boards into the bus, the students have to place their RFID tag to indicate the presence of arrival and departure. This RFID reader takes attendance electronically, and the records of the attendance are sent digitally to the school database. The database in turn generates a text message and sends it to the corresponding parents indicating the safer departure and arrival time of their children.

In present time due to increase in number of kidnapping and road accident cases, parents always worry about their children. This paper proposed the RFID based Bus detection system to help people in travelling from one place to another. Generally, journey in a bus is a safe and comfort zone but navigation in outdoor environments is highly difficult for those who have ingrained blindness or blindness from a very young age. Therefore, this paper plans to develop a bus detection prototype using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) . Interfacing reader with microcontroller (ATMEGA328-PU), using wifi module for wireless communication design aids in improved navigation.

Now a days, a bus tracking system has been widely used for fleet (group of buses) management and asset tracking. GPS and RFID Based Intelligent Bus Tracking System is useful, accurate, robust, flexible and economical. In this work, GPS is used for obtaining the location of the bus using Google Map and RFID is used for the identification of bus. RFID card is also used here for transactions related to fuel filling. Therefore, whole information of a particular bus is stored in database at the server side. An ultimate aim of this system is to develop a flexible, cost effective and user-friendly vehicle tracking system that can cater the needs of owner of transportation companies with minimum technologies backing at the user end. In developing countries, such technologies are very useful for tracking of vehicles.

Bus station transport is still one of the most widely used modes of transportation worldwide, particularly in India. Because of this, all of their working strategies make it easier to achieve the desired results. These technological advancements now provide one of the first-class services by means of the film station department and offer RFID eBook generation. Customers' payment for passengers is greatly simplified as a result, and they are relieved of having to deal with issues like trip tickets. The main goal of introducing this kind of gadget may be to simplify the process of booking and selling price tickets. This type of tags are used for manner verification and can be used to avoid fool proofing the machine. There are numerous passengers present, all of whom could use some additional financial support from donations. These RFID bands are much easier to read.

Public transportation in many countries is being used as a means of transport for travelling and accordingly people would prefer these public transportation to be scheduled properly, on time and the frequency be increased for commuters to make good use of it. It has been found that quite an amount of research work has been carried out, in this sector, by way of using RFID technology in the public transportation systems towards the tracking of passengers when they board and exit buses. In addition research has also been carried out in using GPS towards the tracking of buses along with RFID technology at traffic lights, bus stops, intersections etc and displaying expected arrival times on LCD screen at bus stops along with their current positions. Taking these aspects into consideration, an intelligent mobile bus tracking system for the Jamaican Urban Transport Corporation as case study has been proposed which enables commuters towards tracking the bus of their choice and also knowing their expected arrival times. In addition to tracking, the proposed system also notifies the passengers on their mobile towards topping up of credit in their RFID enabled smart tickets for traveling, well ahead in time. The above System proposed has been validated using Android in this research which allows commuters towards tracking of buses and knowing the expected arrival time. In addition commuter been reminded on their Android mobile handset towards topping their credit on their ticket towards travelling. The above two solutions would alleviate the challenges faced by commuters in respect of referring to the static bus timetable or looking into LCD display screen which would inform the expected arrival time of the next bus. The implementation of the system has been carried out using Android emulator.

In this paper we present a novel approach to integrate RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) in WSN (Wireless sensor network). WSN is used to support RFID identification process by extending the read range of an RFID system. Besides, by the use of the WSN we can monitor the environment of an object and optimize RFID reader’s performance and energy. Then, methodology to integrate RFID technology, wireless sensor network to form an intelligent bus tracking application is studied. The proposed system can monitor bus traffic inside spacious bus stations, and can inform administrators whether the bus is arriving on time, early or late. This information is then displayed on the different wireless displays inside and outside the bus station.

The Project aims at developing a systematic approach to deploy Radio Frequency identification system (RFID) for Vehicle Positioning in Public transportation system. One of the best ways to encourage people to use the public transit is to make it more attractive by improving the services offered. There are many methods available to make public transit service more attractive, one of which is to provide bus arrival time information at the bus stops through user request. The use of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) for better operations and management of traffic is a promising management solution. The process of applying ITS technologies in the Indian transport conditions is in a beginning stage. There are many ITS applications that will be useful in the Indian scenario and one of the important applications among them will be Advanced Public Transportation Systems (APTS). A reliable bus service network will attract more people to use the same, thereby reducing congestion on road.

This paper based on automated system for ticketing in the Metro Train System which is based on unique passenger identification. This is a user friendly system, which will automatically identify the passenger and deduct the passenger's fare according to the distance travelled. The Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) card and rfid reader are used to make the identification of passenger and transaction very precise. System thus reduces human errors and efforts. This project is a complete metro train simulator that will be installed in a metro train. The RF Card technology is used that is it has a unique id for every tag. Every person is allotted a RF card with the fixed balance in it. The metro train will keep on passing between the stations and as it stops at the station the person has to swipe its RF card to make an exit. According to distance travelled by the passenger the ticket is deducted from its balance, as the person has to show the RF card while entering and leaving the train station. The MCU is used to perform the above task along with the display unit and RF ID reader. A stepper motor is used to show the door opening and closing on swiping the RF card.
