Abstract
Most of the people prefer buses as the common modes of transport. As they travel daily by buses, they carry their own pass with them. But some have to pay the bus fare while traveling in the bus. Sometimes they may be chances that a passenger may forget his wallet and his pocket runs out of money. He has to pay the fine finally. So to avoid all these, this project has been designed.
In general, a smart card is an integrated circuit card with memory capable of making decisions. A smart card, chip card or integrated circuit card (ICC), is defined as any pocket-sized card with embedded integrated circuits which can process information.
This implies that it can receive input which is processed by way of the ICC applications and delivered as an output. In this project, we are using a contact smart card where the information inside the card is communicated with the card reader by inserting card into the card reader. The card reader in this project used is an SR-90 SDK of 1KB memory size.
The smart card reader contains a PIC 16F73 microcontroller, a voltage regulator, serial cable connections, and an LED which glows whenever a card is inserted into the reader and also it glows whenever it issues any command or receives any command. The Smart Card Reader is interfaced with the microcontroller through serial interface.
The user has to buy a smart card which allows him to ride on the city's network, consisting of suburban trains and buses. As customers travel with this smart card, they scan on at the beginning of their journey and scan off at the end at fare payment devices called smart card readers. If the user smart card is not scanned off at the completion of a journey, a default fare is likely to be charged. This smart card consists of the person’s information such as the CARD ID and the amount is saved.
The reader consists of a smart card reader which gives the card details to a microcontroller. The controller then reads the amount & ID number & displays it on the LCD. The amount is deducted from the card and if the balance is low, a beep is sounded. The card can be recharged at recharge centers. Buzzer is used to indicate the beep sound. LCD is used to display the person’s serial number as well as the balance in the card.
