BRACU BAT GPS based taxi fare meter

Abstract

The objective of this thesis project is to design technologically advanced fare meter for transportation. In our country all the taxicabs use digital meters which are imported from foreign countries. These meters are easily tampered and taxi drivers can change fare rate with the help of technicians. As a result passengers often pay more than the fare price. Our fare meter works with GPS to provide exact distance and time then calculate fare price according to authorized law to provide passengers the fare payment. Such device assures fare charge and also the charge rate cannot be changed by unauthorized persons thus eradicating taxi fare hacking dispute. Fare increment rate will be controlled by the government and device safety status can be observed by authorized persons online. Our device will also use Smart Fare meter technologies which are modern enough to connect with android phones. It provides options for display travel map on mobile screen, ensures security issues, mobile payment and vehicle
