Introduction

I. INTRODUCTION

A bus pass with a barcode scan project is a technology for improving the efficiency and convenience of public transportation systems. This project involves the development and operation of a bus incorporating barcode scanning technology. The aim is to simplify passenger access to buses, provide passengers access to public transport and paperless routes Public transport is an important urban infrastructure, and an affordable and sustainable one for millions across the globe but traditional paper bus transport systems often present challenges such as fraud, loss induced and problems. In response to these concerns, the Barcode Scan Project at Bus Pass and the Barcode Scan Project at Bus Pass. The use of barcode scanning for bus transportation can serve a variety of purposes, particularly by improving efficiency, improving passenger experience, reducing fraud, and enhancing business best practices Improvements are also helpful feature you can use a barcode license.

II. LITERATURE SURVEY

Anurag Sharma and Amit Sharma started an initiative aimed at providing college students with an efficient solution for communication system based on bus transport system. This policy will only require verification of their personal information with a private PIN, which the student must purchase from the DTC bus depot or college office. The student can access this assignment at any time. This system also allows the student to renew their card. However, if they fail, the punishment will be lighter.[1]

In addition to this, in order to identify users of fake bus passes, the bus pass holder carries his I-card for verification during the journey Vasant sang et al proposes a framework aimed at providing an efficient solution for managing bus travel data through a database. Online bus trip generation is useful for people who have trouble with the current manual process of bus license registration and renewal. The bus travel system combined with the barcode scanner performance enhancements are designed to improve travel efficiency and increase the efficiency of public transport fare verification Passengers receive a physically unique barcode bus travel card or digital access. On the bus, passengers present their license to the conductor or a scanner equipped with a barcode scanner. The scanner quickly decodes the input, and the system verifies the pass by comparing barcode information to a central database.[2]

This validation process verifies the pass, checks the expiration date, and confirms the passenger’s boarding pass. When combined with automatic fare collection, the system cancels the corresponding fare charge, contributing to cashless transactions. Real- time updates in the system mark the pass as being used for a specific trip, and security measures prevent unauthorized access. The addition of a barcode scanner not only speeds up the on boarding process but also helps maintain accurate record keeping and system integrity within the public transport system.[3]

Also, versatility of barcode scanner in bus pass system extends its adaptability to different pass formats which enhances the ability to transfer physical and digital pass Passengers get user- friendly system, deliver their passes for faster scanning, reduce boarding time , reduce errors process and thereby reduce the potential for side effects, which BASPAs with BASPAs continue to use. :

Solution Not only providing an enhanced passenger experience but also providing valuable insights to transport authorities for continued system development and improvement, using barcode scanners in Bus Pass systems brings additional benefits as well easy to integrate with existing infrastructure benefits, as the barcode scanner recognizes landing events quickly, delivering a hassle-free experience.[4]

6. Evaluate: Evaluate the effectiveness of the bus pass system based on predetermined metrics such as user satisfaction, usage rates, and revenue. Collect stakeholder feedback to identify areas for improvement.

Passengers register between shuttle buses by providing personal details. Upon successful registration, a unique barcode card is issued to the passenger.

On the bus, passengers scan their barcode cards with built-in scanners. The barcode information is sent to the pass management system for validation. If the pass is active, the system allows the passenger to enter.

Passengers can already update their bus routes through the exchange. The Pass Management System updates the pass validation accordingly.

IV. IMPLEMENTED SYSTEM

The scheme aims to provide passengers with an efficient and convenient way to use bus services through a barcode-based bus system. Passengers will be given a barcode card, which can be checked when boarding the bus. The system verifies the pass and allows access if the pass is active.

1. User registration and recording: Users would register with the bus travel system, providing personal details such as name, contact information and possibly a photo identification.
2. Barcode generation: Upon registration, a unique barcode is generated for each user. This barcode is a digital symbol of the user’s bus pass.
3. Database management: A database is used to store the user information along with their corresponding barcode data. This database ensures fast retrieval and validation of bus pass information during scanning.
4. Mobile App or Website: Users can access their bus travel information through a mobile app or website. This interface allows users to view their pass details, verify their authenticity and perform other actions related to their bus pass.
5. Barcode Scanner Contact: Handheld barcode scanners are equipped with bus drivers or ticket handlers. These scanners can read the barcode on the user’s bus pass card or mobile device.
6. Testimonial arrangements: When a user boards a bus, he or she presents his or her bus pass card or displays a barcode on his or her mobile device. The driver or ticket inspector scans the barcode with a hand scanner.
7. Real-time verification: The scanned barcode data is sent to a central database for real-time verification. The system checks that the bus pass is valid and has not expired and matches the user’s details.
8. Access and Warnings: Depending on the verification results, the system allows the user or issues a warning if the pass is invalid or has expired. The driver or attendant receives immediate feedback on the status of the pass.
9. Reporting and Analysis: The system can include reports and analytics based on bus pass usage, such as peak times, popular routes, and crosswalk integrity data. This data helps in optimizing bus services and planning.
