RFID BASED TICKET SYSTEM FOR KSRTC

The primary objective of this paper is to generate passenger tickets using RFID technology for fare collection to specific destinations. The appropriate amount is deducted from the RFID card. Additionally, RFID has proven to be one of the most promising technologies in recent years and can be effectively employed in various applications due to its economical and widespread use for tracking and locating purposes. Radio-frequency identification (RFID) uses electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects. An RFID system consists of a small radio transponder, a radio receiver, and a radio transmitter. RFID applications have become popular tools for tracking transit vehicles and managing public ticketing systems. This paper describes a design for an IoT-enabled real-time bus tracking system. A mobile app is available to recharge the RFID card, and a message confirming the money transaction is sent to the user’s registered mobile number. The main aim of this project is to reduce fraud in ticket transactions. The bus door will open only after scanning the RFID card. In this project, we use an IR sensor to detect passenger entry and exit from the bus. When the passenger scans the RFID card, an LCD display shows the passenger’s information, including their name, RFID card number, and account balance. The ticket price is based on the distance traveled on the bus. This system also helps prevent unfair ticket pricing in transportation. If the RFID card is lost, the passenger can block it to prevent unauthorized access. Public transportation plays a significant role in the daily lives of individuals, and this system aims to enhance its efficiency and security.
