Abstract - In this system, to make the bus pass generation more effective and efficient, we are building the smart bus
pass system. In this system, Mobile phones have become pervasive part of human life. Applications are developed to make
maximum utilization of the features provided by mobile phone. The main aim of this web portal and application is to
reduce the work load of both the government and the passengers who are accessing the service. The reduction of
documentation process in the renewal and registration of the bus passes in the transport department. The application is
proposed to automate the process of generation and renewal of bus pass.
The proposed system will reduce the paper work and will prove to be a relief for both the passengers as well as the
government officials. The renewal of bus pass would be done online using the portal. The overhead of remembering the
expiry date of pass will be removed as the portal will send notification to the passenger. The timetable will be available
and also the location of the bus will be provided by the portal.

Key Words:
Smart bus pass system, bus location, GPS,QR-Code.

1. Introduction:
Over the last few decades, there has been an increase in the use of public transport. There are many problems that
are being faced by the general public in terms of being managed in the over crowded bus The current process of bus
pass renewal is very slow and tedious process. Customer needs to stand in long queue for issuing bus pass in bus
depot which is time consuming and this process is hectic to employees in the depot as well as user. The core aim of
this project is to reduce the work load of both the government and the beneficiaries/passengers who are accessing the
service and also the reduction of documentation process in the renewal and registration of the bus passes, to make the
process user convenient, and to help the beneficiaries to pay for the services that they are accessing in a safe and
reliable way. The use of QR code will help to get rid of the fraud bus pass cases. The project will provide the facility
of safe and reliable online payment. The system will also track the bus and provide the user with delay and arrival
time of bus along with the bus time table.

1.1. Project Objectives

1. The main aim of this application is to reduce the work load of both the government and the passengers who
are accessing the service.
2. The reduction of documentation process in the renewal and registration of the bus passes in the transport
department.
3. The application is proposed to automate the process of generation and renewal of bus pass.
4. The proposed application will offer online payment and also an escape from the long never ending queues.
5. To track the location of the bus

1.2. Problem Statement

As there has been noticeable increase in the use of public transport in the last few decades. There are many
problems that are being faced by the general public. The current process of bus pass renewal is very slow and
tedious process. The core aim of this project is to reduce the work load of the government and the beneficiaries/
passengers who are accessing the service and also the reduction of documentation process in the renewal and
registration of the bus passes. It will help to get rid of frauds by use of QR code and will also provide the
timetable of bus along with the delay caused.
2. Literature Survey

1. Paper Name: Design and Development of an Online Bus Monitoring:

Authors: Owana Marzia Moushi, Mostofa Kamal, Mahmuda Haque and Md. Shamim Ahsan
Description : This research demonstrates the design and development of an online bus monitoring system. The
primary purpose of the bus monitoring system is to track city buses for obtaining their location information. In order
to monitor city buses, global positioning system (GPS) modules must be installed in the buses so that location in-
formation can be updated in the server. People can obtain the information of the city buses from the website of the
bus monitoring system and using the android application of their android devices.

Advantages :
Get the location of the bus using GPS device.
Disadvantages :
Delay in sending the location.
Limitations :
The website and the app could not display the estimated time.

2. Paper Name: An examination of the public transport information requirements of users, IEEE Transactions on
Intelligent Transportation Systems :
Authors: Caulfield and M. O’Mahony

Description: The paper examines both existing and potential methods of accessing information, with particular focus on
the implementation of various intelligent transport systems applications. One of the main objectives of the paper is to
check the stages a passenger goes through when deciding to undertake a public transport trip and in what form they
require information at each stage.
The paper defines these stages as “pre-trip to destination,” “at-stop,” “onboard,” and “pre-trip to origin”. A web based
survey was used to manage data on users preferences and describes the methods of information delivery each passenger
requires at each stage. The paper primarily deals with the respondents’ stated preference for public transport information
and does not examine revealed preferences.
The survey also details results of passengers’ opinions of the different information provision for- mats such as call centers,
mobile phones, the Internet, and paper-based methods. The paper concludes with the results of this exploratory research.

Advantages :
RTPI displays were found to be most useful than SMS.

Disadvantages :
There is a lack of certainty of service.

Limitations :
Results on the existing levels of quality of public transport information were indicated to be poor to average.

3. Paper Name: Real Time Bus Arrival Time Prediction System under Indian Traffic Condition :
Author: B. Dhivyabharathi, B. Anil Kumar, Lelitha Vanajakshi

Description: The main focus is on the provision of public transport information in Dublin, Ire- land. It examines
both existing and potential methods of accessing information, with particular focus on the implementation of
various intelligent transport systems applications. One of the main objectives of this paper is examining the stages
a passenger goes through when deciding to undertake a public transport trip and in what form they require
information at each stage.
This paper primarily deals with the respondents’ stated preference for public transport information and does not
examine revealed preferences.
Advantages :
The proposed method was able to capture the high variability condition of Indian traffic
Limitations :
Performance of the proposed method showed a clear improvement in prediction accuracy when compared
with an existing model.
3. Implementation:

The system has the following algorithms used to implement the applications.
I. QR code generation:

Steps:

1. Choose the text or data to encode.

2. Choose one of the four error correction level (ECL).

3. Encode text into a sequence of zero or more segments.

4. Depending on the segments and ECL choose right QR code pattern to

contain the data. Fig 1

5. Concatenate the segments and add a terminator. The result is sequence of bits.

6. Add padding bits and bytes to fill remaining space.

7. Reinterpret the bit stream as a sequence of bytes, further dividing it into blocks. Error correction
bytes are computed and appended to each block. Interleave bytes from each block to form the final
sequence of 8 bit codewords that is to be drawn.

8. Based on the version number initialize a blank square grid.

9. Draw function patterns onto appropriate modules. This is formatting overhead and does not
include any user data.

10. Draw the sequence of code words onto the QR code symbol, starting from the bottom right.

11. Either manually or automatically choose a mask pattern to apply to data modules.

12. End.

The System has following features:

 Online generation of bus pass.
 Online payment.
 Displays timetable of bus.
 Displays current location of bus.
 Provides security by means of QR code.

5. RESULT:

The system will help the government to maintain a count of bus pass holder for a particular bus. The
online payment facility will help the process to go cashless. The user can track the location of the bus
using GPS. The system might also get some extra feature like online ticket removal.

6. CONCLUSIONS :

The Smart pass system is a real time project which will prove to be very much useful and handy for the public who
are having issues with the current manual work of bus pass registration and renewal. It also frequently warns the
users about their validity or expiry period of bus pass by sending them notification.
