ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE BASED AUTOMATED BUS FARE COLLECTION SYSTEM

Abstract

This innovation introduces a smart, AI-powered automated bus fare collection system designed to modernize public transportation payment processes by utilizing 6G networks and contactless smart card technology. The traditional fare collection approach, which depends on manual transactions, often faces challenges like handling exact change and delays in ticket processing. Our proposed system addresses these challenges by implementing a cashless, contactless fare collection mechanism where passengers use smart cards that are scanned by a reader. Upon scanning, travel details are input, and the fare amount is instantly deducted and transferred to the transport authority's account using the high-speed, low-latency capabilities of 6G networks. The system leverages microcontrollers and RFID technology for efficient fare management, financial transactions, and real-time passenger tracking. Additionally, it includes features for collecting data on passenger flow, enabling transit authorities to optimize bus schedules and improve service quality. A significant safety benefit of this system is its capability to send immediate accident alerts to nearby stations, thereby enabling rapid response. The integration of these advanced technologies not only eliminates the need for physical currency but also enhances convenience for passengers, reduces operational costs, and improves the overall efficiency of public transportation networks. This solution has the potential to transform the bus fare collection landscape by ensuring secure, fast, and reliable transactions, paving the way for smarter and more efficient public transit systems.

Specification

Description:Typically, a ticket agent drives each bus. Each passenger will have to pay the fee, and the conductor will then give them a ticket. Initially, tickets were issued as pieces of paper or vouchers. As an example, a traveler has to have some cash with him when taking the bus. The conductor will also arrive to get the fare and hand out the ticket. This will waste energy and additional time and human resources. Currently, bills are printed using handheld devices. This method has a lot of drawbacks. The ticket must be carried by the passenger until the conclusion of the journey, and extra paper is needed to print the ticket. Moreover, artificial cash dispensers require educated laborers to operate and are quite sluggish. In this study, we suggest an RFID-based intelligent ticketing system that is user-friendly for the general population. RFID is made up of RFID readers and RFID tags. A reloadable smart card will be given to each individual. It can be either postpaid or prepaid. The passenger's data is retrieved through the RFID reader. Our Android smartphones allow us to purchase tickets. Android smartphones are now widely used throughout society. Consumer acceptance of and reliance on mobile phones has considerably increased. The user's mobile phone will receive a notice after scanning the RFID tag information. When the reader follows the chart, the GPS is in charge of tracking the precise coordinates (latitude and longitude) of the locus. The service provider may use this approach to make their settlement simpler, and bus tracking will be feasible. Also, the number of passengers boarding the bus may be determined, and that data is used to improve their service , Claims:1. A system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the system is an Artificial Intelligence Based Automated Bus Fare Collection System
2. A system as claimed in claim 2, wherein the system uses AI-powered automated bus fare collection system designed to modernize public transportation payment processes by utilizing 6G networks and contactless smart card technology.
3. A system as claimed in claim 3, wherein the system avoids handling exact change and delays in ticket processing.
4. A system as claimed in claim 4, wherein the system detects the number of passengers boarding the bus and that data is used to improve their service.
