Passenger Identification System Using Iot Based Transportation Smart Card

Abstract

In many countries, Public transport is being used as a means of transportation for traveling. The most widely used public transport system is the bus transportation. According to many surveys, people prefer for proper and worthy public transportation facilities. Particularly in congested metropolitan cities, accidents are happening due to improper bus transportation. Also, vast number of thefts and other criminal activities are also happening in the same. The objective of our work is to identify the passengers traveling in the bus by collecting their database which will be stored in the centralized server of transportation department. For this purpose, we have implemented transportation smart card technology for database collection. The data about the passenger will be sent to the transportation department server through a trending technology known as Internet of Things (IoT). By using the database, we can easily find out the passengers who are suffered in accidents and also to identify the passengers involved in any theft or other criminal activities. The transportation smart card will be used for passenger identification, secured transportation and cashless transactions. From this method, we can achieve potential and efficient mode of public transportation using smart card because of its usability, practicality and versatility.
