Abstract This paper based on automated system for ticketing in the Metro Train System which is based on unique passenger identification. This is a user friendly system, which will automatically identify the passenger and deduct the passenger’s fare according to the distance travelled. The Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) card and rfid reader are used to make the identification of passenger and transaction very precise. System thus reduces human errors and efforts. This project is a complete metro train simulator that will be installed in a metro train. The RF Card technology is used that is it has a unique id for every tag. Every person is allotted a RF card with the fixed balance in it. The metro train will keep on passing between the stations and as it stops at the station the person has to swipe its RF card to make an exit. According to distance travelled by the passenger the ticket is deducted from its balance, as the person has to show the RF card while entering and leaving the train station. The MCU is used to perform the above task along with the display unit and RF ID reader. A stepper motor is used to show the door opening and closing on swiping the RF card.

INTRODUCTION

The radio frequency identification has been the most widely used technology in recent years. The RFID technology is widely used in number of application. They are used for animal identification, schools, universities and museums. The RFID tags provides security and hustle free services to its users. An RFID system consist of tags, basically a microchip with an antenna and an interrogator or reader with an antenna. A fundamental system of RFID consist of two primary components i.e. the reader circuit and tag. The RFID tag and the reader circuit set up communication via waves of electromagnetic nature. The most RFID tags consist of an integrated circuit for storing and processing information, modulating and demodulating RF signal and other specialized function. It also consists of an antenna for receiving and transmitting the signal. The data is stored in RFID tag with response to the reader by transforming the energy of radio frequency queries from the reader and sending back the information. A computer hosting a specific RFID application pilots the reader and its processes the data it sends. II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION This project is designed to demonstrate the RFID based ticketing system used in Metro train system. In this technology we make use of an RFID tags and an EM-18 RFID reader which is installed on the metro train .Each RFID tag has its unique identity which provide security to its user. According to the distance travelled by the passenger the ticket is deducted from the balance, as the person has to show the RF card while entering and leaving the train station. Multiple users can enter the train or leave the train simultaneously the MCU stores the data of each card user and deducts the balance at the destination station based on the distance travelled. A stepper motor is used to open and close the gate each time the card is tapped on the RFID reader. RFID cards can be used in all weather conditions and can be read at a wide range of angles. The RFID does not require visual line of site. It allows transparent automated tracking eliminating human error. New information can be overwritten on the RFID card.
