Smart Transit Ticketing System

The main goal of this paper is to improve daily problem of public bus transportation system. Traditional method of ticketing is like every bus has one conductor who will collect money and issue ticket to each passenger. This process takes lots of time and more use of paper, it also create manual error sometimes. Also money exchange problem, ticketing problem etc, to overcome that problem a new system is introduced i.e. Smart transit ticketing system. Similar system was introduced for railway transportation system but not for bus transportation system in India. Smart transit ticketing will provide clear and smart ticketing without any manual error. It includes smart card reader, LPC2148, keypad, LCD display. A smart card will store information about passenger like name, amount, a unique ID number etc. Passenger will keep that smart card with him whenever he wants to travel through bus. When passenger will travel along a route he will give a smart card to conductor. The conductor will swipe that smart card in smart card reader device. All the information will get read from card and will be displayed on the device. According to destination stop, conductor will do entry and required amount will get deducted from the account of smart card holder. Like this one by one entry of each and every passenger will get done in smart card reader device by conductor. Then smart card will hand over back to passenger. In more advance way encryption and decryption term will get add for security purpose.
