Design And Construction Of An RFID-Based Ticketing System Using Arduino
ABSTRACT
This work is focused on ticketing of the passenger in the public transport. In the urban city we have a severe malfunction of public transport and various security problems. Firstly, there is a lot of confusion between the passengers regarding fares which lead to corruption. Secondly, it is used to authorize the passenger travelling in bus. Thirdly passengers do not have to carry money with them. All the record of transaction will be updated automatically. Moreover, the doors of bus will be opened only when passengers had generated their ticket. This work deals with identification, bus ticket generation and bus ticket checking using arduino.
Key Words: IOT, RFID, ARDUINO, WIFI MODULO, SERVOMOTOR.

CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Currently, the public transport system needs to be smart and digitalized. However, public transport buses in Nigeria have turned their faces out to this present technology. Passengers convenience needs to improves the performance of existing public transport is driving, demand for intelligent system in market. Also there are no methods to authenticate a passenger travelling in the bus. Automatic fare collection system is currently being used in many urban cities around the world. In addition, this system integrates ticketing system inside the public transport only. This project is implemented fully on IOT. This work was carried in other to decrease use of paper and will use smart technology for bus fare system. It defines how IOT can be used effectively to generate the ticket automatically. It eases the pressure on passenger of buying a ticket in rush to travel in local buses. The project also shows that how we can ensure that a passenger with valid ticket can only be allowed to travel in a bus. The project is implemented using RFID card and Arduino and servomotors. The system uses Arduino microcontroller, as it is very much advance so certain applications such as automatic opening and closing of doors on basis of RFID cards can be easily implemented. This paper shows how RFID cards can be used to generate bus ticket. Also with the help of this RFID cards a passenger can be authenticated, leading to an effective step toward security of passengers. In this system passenger will carry RFID cards which will be scanned at respective bus and asked for destination. Passenger will choose their destination and automatically respected amount will be deducted from their respective account and their ticket will be generated. As, the ticket will be generated doors of the bus will be opened for 30 seconds for passenger to enter in bus.
1.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT
In present system ticket is issued by conductor. In present system handheld machines are used to print tickets. This system has also many disadvantages such as passengers have to carry their ticket until they reach their destination. Moreover, sometimes conductor charges extra money from the passengers who are unknown to the fares. Also sometimes passengers misuse this system by not buying tickets and travelling for free in bus. This ticket system also shows the wastage of papers as in a day about millions of paper tickets is generated. Sometimes cash issues occur in this kind of system. In this system there is no way of authorizing the passenger who are travelling in buses. Also while travelling in local bus there is lot of rush of tickets which create problems for passengers. Moreover, there is lot of confusion between the passengers regarding fares which lead to corruption. This system will give solution to above problems. RFID cards will be linked with Aadhar card thus authorizing passenger thus ensuring the security of passengers travelling in the bus. Also, this system will be integrated in the bus, the passenger only has to scan their cards to generate a ticket which take very less time comparing to present system preventing the rush of buying a ticket. Doors of the bus will be opened only when passengers had generated a ticket ensuring that there is no such case in which passenger travel in a bus without ticket.
1.3 AIM AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The main aim of this study is to build an RFID based ticketing system using arduino. The objectives of the study are:
- To implement a paperless system for Public Transport System(PTS)
- To stop over-charge or extortion from bus conductors.
- To reduce human error and labour
1.4 SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
The scope of this work covers building smart ticketing system which was implemented by interfacing Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) with widely used microcontrollers – Arduino Uno and wifi module. This reader system along with the wifi module is attached at both ends of the bus. Passengers carrying the RFID tags are expected to tap the card against the reader while entering and exit.
1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
This project will serve as a means of maintaining peace between bus conductor and passenger. It protects them from arguing over payment and issuing of ticket.
This study will also serve as a means of protecting customers interest by not allowing them to be over-charged by a bus conductor.
To the student involved, this study will serve as an avenue of becoming conversant with the arduino and RFID technology.
