An Approach on Verification and Online Tracking of Boarded Passengers in Railways

Abstract

The digitization in railway sector has paved a way for easier tracking of the transit of passengers across the globe. However, in developing countries like India, digitization has become a challenging issue. In intercity trains, the Train Ticket Inspector (TTI) has to spend a long time on physical verification of the passengers. This paper proposes a novel approach on verification and online tracking of passengers in railways. This system uses the Near Field Communication (NFC) to read the QR code that contains the details of the ticket of the passenger. The implementation of this approach has shown better efficiency and on line tracking of the passengers.
