Info

As mentioned previously, instead of each and every user manually entering the point of entry and destination, the user just has to place the tag before the reader circuit while entering and getting down at the destination station. It should be noted that the database system has programmed information regarding the fare deduction corresponding to the distance travelled by the user . When the passenger displays the tag in front of the reader while getting down, the reader (which has previously stored the information regarding the same tag/user) equates the fare corresponding to the distance travelled by the passenger . Hence the fare corresponding to the distance travelled by the passenger is deducted from the user’s account and the same is updated in the common database. ACKNOWLEDGMENT TO THE USER The travel/transaction details will be instantly sent to the user with the use of GSM via Simple Mail Service (SMS). This notification is done with the help of the database system which has the contact details of all its registered users. Hence whenever a transaction is carried out using the tag, the database system automatically transfer the information to the concerned user. This would allows the user to know about their travel and transactions details. FOR LOST TAGS As mentioned previously, each RFID tag has a unique id. The proposed system is designed that the user can be assigned with a new unique id if the person loses the tag. This can be done by the information provided by the user to the authorities. The authorities restore the information of the user in the database system to the new unique RFID tag which the user can use for their future transactions. ADVANTAGES The proposed model of ticketing system would reduce the complexity of the passengers In this proposed system, the passengers need not to wait in the ticket counter to get the ticket. It saves the time for the passengers. By this system, we can reduce the fraudulent activities and accidents. .Because of the existing system the passengers faced more problems like waiting in the line, missing the train and so on. In the existing system, the users should manually enter the place of entry and destination. But in this proposed system, the users need not manually enter the place of entry and destination. Instead of that, the user just place his unique RFID tag in front of the reader while entering and leaving the platform and corresponding fare is deducted from the user’s account and the door will opened. Hence the whole system is fully automated and reduces the complexity. In comparison with the old system (printed tickets), the proposed model would induce several advantages. The conventional system uses tickets made by paper. These paper tickets are printed everyday on a large scale to meet the requirements. “Global warming” and deforestation is the primary reason behind it. The proposed model would greatly reduce these disadvantages and also would prevent the fraudulent practices which gives great losses to the government. Considering the advantages of RFID technology, the RFID tags have almost 100% read rate. It is known that the RFID tag and reader communicate via transmission of radio waves. CONCLUSION The proposed ticketing system is presented in this paper, the operation would be fully automated, efficient, enhanced and cost-effective. The proposed system can also be implemented in other places like toll gates , bus ticketing and others. The efficiency of the RFID system, as mentioned in this paper, would make the implementation practical and effective. This article is written by R. Valarmathi and G.

Hyperloop Technology: Future of Smart Public Transport T he futuristic transport system Hyperloop has come a long way since entrepreneur Elon Musk proposed a "fifth mode of transport" in 2012. The concept, in which commuters are whisked through a tube at speeds in excess of 700mph, has developed rapidly with inventors and investors giving their backing. While it may have seemed like fantasy, and there are still lots of reasons to be skeptical about this "future of transport", plans for Hyperloop and the companies behind it are making progress towards their first operational tunnels. But what is a Hyperloop? Why does Musk back the idea? Who are the companies pushing the tech? Read on to get beyond the hype and see if you are a Hyperloop believer. - Matthew Field Technology Journalist The Telegraph, Tonbridge (UK) What is Hyperloop and how does it work? Hyperloop is a proposed system of transport that would see pods or containers travel at high speeds through a tube that has been pumped into a near-vacuum. The train pods would either float using magnetic levitation technology or float using air caster "skis", similar to how pucks travel across an air hockey table. With so little friction in the tunnel, the pods would be able to travel at immense speeds with a projected top speeds of 760mph. © METRO RAIL NEWS | NOVEMBER <strong>2017</strong> | WWW.METRORAILNEWS.IN 31
