Abstract

Bus is a mode of transportation for people around the world. Bus fare is calculated based on the distance travelled by the passenger. The fare collected from both sitting and standing passenger is the same, but they do not enjoy the same comfort. This paper proposes a flexi-pay system, that is, a variable fare calculation system considering the distance travelled by the passenger whether he/she is seated or standing during the journey. The system uses ultrasonic sensor to find seating or standing passenger. The radio frequency identity is used to scan whenever the passenger gets a seat or leaves it. Global positioning system is used to calculate the distance travelled. Then, fare is calculated based on the distance travelled by the passenger considering seating and standing time into account. A Web application is designed to manage the system with admin and user accounts. The proposed work justifies the difference in comfort of the passengers in the existing system.
