RFID Based Ticketing System For Public Transport System

Abstract

This paper represents a automated system for ticketing in the Public Transportation System (PTS) which
automatically identifies passengers and issues tickets. The system will itself calculate the fare of each and every
passenger based on the miles covered by them. .The Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Card is used for identifying
each and every commuter and the area covered by the person accurately. The main motive behind usage of RFID Card is
reusability which is very efficient than the traditional paper-based ticketing system. The exclusive ID in the RFID cards
are mapped to the individual details of the commuter and they are all compiled and saved in the Main Controller
Directory. So, every time when a commuter travels in the PTS his/her records are fetched from the directories and
subsequently the fare is charged on their account. Keeping the records of each and every passenger will not only
eliminate the human efforts required for fetching, but it will also contribute to the seam-less travel experience of the
commuters enormously. Ticket Prices of the respective destinations are pre-decided with the help of distance
measurement. And the commuters are charged with the help of switches installed. So, the revised fare variations made by
the Transport Department will not create any hustle amongst the commuters. Separate GSM module is used for
informing the customers regarding the fare. LCD and Buzzers are used for supervision purposes.
