Abstract

Shopping at big malls is becoming an everyday practice. On weekends and holidays, these malls have heavy traffic. People buy various goods and load them onto trolleys and trolleys must be moved by applying energy. To make it even more convenient to the users this trolley automatically avoids obstacle, and follows particular person until he/she is inside the shopping premises. After finishing shopping, one must proceed to the billing counter to make payments. A long queue forms at the billing counter because the cashier must create the bill using a bar code scanner, which takes a lot of time. Therefore, the major goal of this project is to create a system that can be utilized to address customer problems and conserve customers' valuable time and energy. This paper provides a glimpse of a smart human following trolley and automatic billing system using RFID and payment can be paid directly from the user’s mobile phone. This model also includes recommendation system to assist users in their purchase.

Keywords - shopping malls, smart trolley, RFID scanner, Barcode scanner, Arduino UNO, recommendation system.
