Varun Kaushik, Phalke Akshay Suhas · 2018
The world is moving towards automation. The job of conductor is one of the many that is on the wane due to automation. The most popular form of automated ticketing is using RFID. RFID based ticketing system is inexpensive to implement and reliable in operation. Cities across the world have successfully implemented this technology in metro trains and some cities like Singapore have also successfully implemented in the buses. The void that lies in all the above-mentioned places is a foolproof system. The systems rely on the promptness of the passengers for ensuring ticketless travel. This paper presents a method to avoid ticketless travel by implementing a two-way authentication for the head-count. A mismatch in the outputs of both would imply ticketless travel.
