Abstract
The system maintains passenger records, transaction history, and account balances in a centralized database, enabling real-time monitoring and management. It also reduces human intervention, improves operational efficiency, enhances passenger convenience, and minimizes revenue leakage. The integration of IoT and cloud technologies ensures scalability, reliability, and secure data handling. The proposed AFCS contributes to the development of intelligent transportation systems by providing a seamless, user-friendly, and cost-effective solution for modern railway fare management.
Keywords— Automatic Fare Collection System, Railway Transportation, RFID, Smart Card, QR Code, IoT, Cloud Computing, Contactless Payment, Intelligent Transportation System.
