NFC Based Bus Mobile Ticketing System

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a promising new communication technology that, among other things, allows mobile phones to emulate smart cards such as the travel cards used in public transportation. Bringing the travel card into mobile phone creates numerous benefits for both end users and service providers, which is why mobile ticketing with NFC technology has been considered a promising service. However, despite optimistic predictions, NFC technology and mobile ticketing services based on it, has yet to take off. While technical problems have played a part in this delay early on, the most significant reasons can be found in the challenging business models needed to realize NFC services. In this study, we aim to analyze the NFC mobile ticketing business model holistically and to identify critical issues that affect the commercial success of such a service. For making the day to day life more convenient for the passengers travelling in bus some technologies can be used like Near Field Communication (NFC), the proposed system is based on ticketing and identification of passengers in public transport. The system suggest a user friendly automated ticketing system which will automatically deduct the passengers fare according to the distance travelled as well as detect the passengers detail information. The system also helps to calculate the total revenue of a single bus in a day. Another important aspect is reusability, which helps use ticket multiple times as it is rechargeable. This project is based on ticketing and identification of the passenger in the public transport. This project suggest a user friendly automated ticketing system which will automatically deduct the passenger's fare according to the distance travelled as well as detect the passenger's identification. This project basically deals with the identification and ticketing of the passengers sitting in the bus.
