Ticketless Transportation System using RFID Technology

Abstract

A prepaid ticketless transit system that makes use of RFID technology. The method eliminates the need for traditional paper tickets and cash payments, making transit more efficient and streamlined. Travelers can buy and load money onto RFID-enabled devices Because the tickets, which are made of paper, they contribute to deforestation, and they are useless after the passenger exits the bus. Travelers should also keep their tickets safe until they get at their destination. Thus, in order to overcome all of these challenges, we have to give tickets to travelers, and a smart ticketing system is proposed. In our work, we employ RFID cards to ensure the precise identification of passengers and transactions. A microcontroller is used to interface with RFID cards, and an LCD is used as a display device. The proposed system is a prepaid ticketless transportation system that utilizes Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. which will recognize the passenger automatically and subtract the passenger's fare based on the distance traveled. The RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)cards are reusable, they are far more convenient than the paper-based ticketing system. RFID cards are being distributed to the general public. The RFID cards' unique IDs are kept in an internet database along with personal data, creating accounts for each person. The system eliminates the need for traditional paper tickets and cash payments, allowing for a more efficient and streamlined transportation experience. Passengers can purchase and load value onto an RFID-enabled card or device, which can be used to tap into and out of transportation services.
