Smart Ticketing and Overcrowding Control System for Public Transportation

Conventional ticketing procedures limit the potential revolutionary effects of public transport. In order to overcome these restrictions, the Smart Ticketing and Overcrowding Control System for Public Transportation presented in this study ingeniously combines RFID and GSM technology. Despite their ease, the current ticketing systems struggle with high costs, interoperability problems, and privacy difficulties. In addition to negatively affecting passenger satisfaction and transportation efficiency, overcrowding. The suggested solution makes use of smart cards with RFID tags to enable quick, con-tactless ticket confirmation. Integration with GSM technology enables real-time communication for tariff calculation and fast ticket confirmation. RFID readers, GSM modems, Arduino micro-controllers, LCD displays, and a crowded control system are all included in the architecture. Through testing, the equipment exhibits notable results. Without paper tickets or manual checks, passengers get seamless ticket validation, which improves convenience. Reduced ticket fraud and improved revenue collection are advantageous to the transportation authority. The technology offers transportation authorities useful data insights for streamlining schedules, fares, and routes. Real-time monitoring provided by the technology enables early overcrowding identification and prevention, protecting the security and comfort of passengers.
