A COST EFFECTIVE MISUSE AVOIDANCE FOR BUS TRANSPORT SYSTEM USING RFID?

Now-a-days many educational institutions are located in the city boundaries, in such cases there is a need of transport facility to the stakeholders like students, faculty, and other staff. Transport facility may get misused by some of the stakeholders, In order to prevent misusing there are so many traditional and advanced methods. Traditional methods like manual preventive policies and advanced technologies like spy cameras. These existing systems are more costly, hard to maintain, doesn’t provide more security and not effective. To overcome the vulnerability of the mentioned technologies we are proposing a novel approach using the RFID [1] concept. Using RFID reader to accomplish this task is cost effective and maintenance free. Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is an automatic identification method [2], relying on storing and remotely retrieving data using devices called RFID tags or transponders. There is unique code provided to the each and every tag, with the help of this unique code we can store student data. All the passengers (stakeholders) are given with the RFID ID cards, and then RFID reader reads the data in it when the student came to board the bus and it will compare with the stored data in the aurdino processor[8], which is already defined by the management, if the data is matched then the processor will display the relevant message through LCD [3] Display. Finally it commences that whether the student is eligible to board the bus or not.
