Abstract

An auto rickshaw / taxi is one of the chief modes of transport inIndia. A large number of people use these vehicles for their dailycommute and every time they pay some fare because there is no check on the reading of meter. Auto rickshaw meter tampering in India has become quite common because the current meter calculatesfare on the basis of the rotations of the wheel and this system can be easily tampered. Hence, it is necessary that we should havesomething that can cross check the reading of the meter and guide us the right fares. This daily problem of the public encouraged usto work in this area and we came up with an idea of ANDROID BASED ELECTRONIC FARE METER SYSTEM.

Our designed system has a circuit inbuilt in the existing meter and it will send the count of wheel rotation on Bluetooth frequency with the help of Bluetooth modem. This data is received on the mobile of passenger which is paired with the Bluetooth device of the meter with the help of the meter id. The software inthe mobile will calculate the fare on the basis of the received

data. Now passenger can cross check the fare on the mobile with the meter reading. If there is difference between the two, then one can easily point out that there is tampering in the meter.

2. INTRODUCTION

An auto rickshaw / taxi is one of the chief modes of transport

in India. A large number of people use these vehicles for their

daily commute and every time they pay some fare because there is

no check on the reading of meter. Auto rickshaw meter tampering in

India has become quite common because the current meter calculates

fare on the basis of the rotations of the wheel and this system

can be easily tampered. Hence, it is necessary that we should have

something that can cross check the reading of the meter and guide

us the right fares. This daily problem of the public encouraged us

to work in this area and we came up with an idea of ANDROID BASED

ELECTONIC FARE METERING SYSTEM.

Our designed system has a circuit inbuilt in the existing

meter and it will send the count of wheel rotation on Bluetooth

frequency with the help of Bluetooth modem. This data is received

on the mobile of passenger which is paired with the Bluetooth

device of the meter with the help of the meter id.

The software in the mobile will calculate the fare on the basis of

the received data. Now passenger can cross check the fare on the

mobile with the meter reading. If there is difference between the

two, then one can easily point out that there is tampering in the

meter.

It is necessary that we should have something that can cross

check the reading of the meter and guide us the right fare amount.

This daily problem of the public encouraged us to work in this

area and we came up with an idea of ANDROID BASED ELECTRONIC FAIR

METERING SYSTEM for social benefits of all.

3. AIM AND OBJECTIVES

The aim of the project is to provide reliable means of payment for

public vehicle transport like autos and taxis. The project in

detail includes a bluetooth module which is connected to the

passengers mobile resulting in fair system to reduce cheating

among people. The project is a combination of hardware and

software module which uses Wireless technology along with basics

for android. The main objective of our project is to create

awareness among passengers about the unfairness in the Current

Metering System due to the tampering of the meter by the auto/taxi

drivers.

Thus it is necessary that we should have something that can cross

check the reading of the meter and guide us the right fare amount.

This daily problem of the public encouraged us to work in this

area and we came up with an idea of ANDROID BASED ELECTRONIC FARE

METERING SYSTEM for social benefits of all.

4. LITERATURE SURVEY

4.1 Existing System

The calculation of fare amount is calculated on the basis of

number of wheel rotation of the vehicle. There is no such

system available which can check whether the calculation shown

by the meter is correct or not. If the driver has tampered the

meter the fare amount shown will be high but as no cross

checking is done the passengers are forced to pay the extra money.

4.2 Drawbacks of existing system

Tampering the current system is very easy.

Passengers are forced to pay extra.

Increase corruption and malpractices in society.

Creates burden on the pocket of the public.

4.3 Features

The following are the prominent features of the above system.

Any Android mobile can be paired with any meter.

Mobile software will increment FARE as per government rule.

Real time increment as soon as meter starts.

No cheating possible.

5. PROBLEM STATEMENT& SCOPE

5.1 Problem definition stage

The system should be simple to use. The system does not expect

the owner to have too much of technical knowledge. The system

should be tamper proof. The thief should not be able to easily

tamper with it .It should give the owner peace of mind once

installed in the vehicle. Most important of all, the system

should be affordable and cost-effective.

5.2 Scope

There is always a scope to improve any system as research &

development is an endless process. Our system is no exception

to this phenomenon. The following improvements can be done:

1. Automatic complain launching for tampered meter can be

introduced.

2. FARE chart can be integrated

3. GPS module can be added.

SYSTEM

WORKING

In fig 6.1 our proposed system uses Bluetooth modem which is

connected to the Bluetooth of the mobile of passenger. Basically

when the raw pulses are generated using IR transmitter and

receiver, these pulses are transmitted to the An Android Based

Electronic Metering System of autos and taxis. The An Android

Based Electronic Metering System will be connected to a Bluetooth

modem which receives the pulses. The mobile of passenger gets

paired with the Bluetooth modem. A software is installed in mobile

of passenger which calculates the fare according to the pulses

generated by rotation of wheel. Thus we can crosscheck the meter

reading displayed on the An Android Based Electronic Metering

System using mobile reading. The microcontroller is connected to

Bluetooth modem, LCD display, DIP switch and power supply. The IR

transmitter and receiver generates pulses which is given to

microcontroller. The Bluetooth modem helps us to connect via

Bluetooth. LCD display displays meter reading. The various

detailed description of the various components used is explained

further.

6.1 PROPOSED SYSTEM

Our proposed system will have a circuit inbuilt in the existing

meter and will send the count of wheel rotation on Bluetooth

frequency with the help of Bluetooth modem. This data can be

received on the mobile of passenger after pairing their mobile

with the Bluetooth device of the meter with the help of the meter

id printed on the meter.

The software in the mobile will calculate the fare amount on the

basis of the data received by the meter. Now passenger can cross

check the fare amount between mobile reading and the meter

reading. If there is difference then one can easily point out that

there is tampering in meter. The passenger will pay as per mobile

reading only.

6.4 The power supply

Our system requires two different power supplies:

The 5V supply is used for the proper functioning of the

microcontroller, IR transmitter and receiver, LCD boards and

it also acts as an input to the variable power supply unit.

The variable power supply circuit provides an output of 3.3V

which is required for the functioning of Bluetooth modem.

Power Supply circuit

The input to the regulator IC 78L05 is provided by a 12V DC

battery. The 78L05[6] is a 5V regulator. The input voltage ranges

from 7V to 35V and the output voltage is about 5V.

Variable Power Supply

The LM317[7] are monolithic integrated circuit in TO-220,

ISOWATT220, TO-3 and D2PAK packages intended for use as positive

adjustable voltage regulators. They are designed to supply more

than 1.5A of load current with an output voltage adjustable over a

1.2 to 37V range. The nominal output voltage is selected by means

of only a resistive divider, making the device exceptionally easy

to use and eliminating the stocking of many fixed regulators.

6.5 The IR Transmitter and Receiver

Infrared transmitter that emits light in the range of 10^-6 – 10^-

3 wavelength (m) This light is not visible by human eye and hence

mostly used in security systems for proximities. This unit
