Smart Card-Based Ticketing with Application for Bus Transport

Abstract

Manual ticketing is becoming less effective due to urbanization and the growing demand for public transportation. This concept introduces a cashless, automated fare collection system that utilizes smartphone apps and AI-powered smart cards. By integrating smart sensors, GPS tracking, and real-time monitoring, the system enhances both efficiency and security. Automated entry and exit systems help reduce congestion and minimize boarding times. Additionally, a dynamic fare adjustment mechanism ensures fair pricing based on travel distance. For passengers without smart cards, QR-based mobile ticketing enables seamless digital payments. An emergency alert system further enhances safety by ensuring swift responses to accidents or threats. This advanced technology-driven solution significantly improves the accessibility, efficiency, and security of public transportation.
