The Innovation

Summary of the innovation needs to cover the following titles:

• Chosen industry (one industry): Public Services • Chosen technologies: Mobility, and Analytics• Objective: To provide ticket booking facility at bus stop before bus arrival to avoid congestion and inconvenience to common people. • Approach: The embedded system is designed with arduino board having embodied features namely Ethernet, TFT display and relay interfaced along with thermal printer. • Describe the innovation developed: • 1)The ticket booking system is fixed in bus stop similar to ATM system but comparatively smaller in size.• 2) The TFT screen is featured to provide the user interface with information like bus routes,arrival timing of buses and bus fares.• 3) Net banking is used for payment of bus tickets.• 4) On booking ticket, the passenger is provided with the colour tickets, where each colour signifies distance to be covered and bus fare w.r.t distance.• 5) Colour sensor is fixed in the entry of bus, which ensures the locking and unlocking of the door in the bus.

Maximum Points: 10

Compelling need for the innovation

Demonstrate a compelling need for your innovative concept by connecting with

the industry and technology area you’ve chosen

1) Crowd/Congestion in buses, thus managing the transportation system.

2) Bus conductor harassment.

3) Knowledge about the bus service, cost and time taken to reach the spot, thus enabling

pre-planning of the job and workout.

4) Connection to the digital world, thus ensuring the smart city.

5) Automated work.

6)People are compelled to take the ticket, thus avoiding the cases of travelling without ticket.

Maximum Points: 20

CONDUCTOR HARRASSMENT Women are facing these problem day to day, we provide a solution to eradicate it.

CROWDED AND CONJESTED BUSOur system is a solution to avoid bus crowd by limiting the number of passenger through limited tickets .Also, all passengers are compelled to take the ticket.

Impact

Explain the expected impact of your idea, metrics for how you will evaluate your

success of the innovation, and how will your idea sustain over time.

The novel transportation system is easy to implement in the country like India, where the

system like one-rupee public telephone booth is highly successful. The transportation system

contributes to the Indian revenue to utmost. The transportation is compelling need for every

citizens, who have to travel to office, market, school, and many others, so making the system

associated to it is high requirement . So, the metrics for success of the innovation will be

comparatively in the large scale. It also allows people to connect to digital world, thus

making the people feel more smarter and life easier.

Maximum Points: 30

Implementation

Demonstrate that you can successfully implement your idea by

providing a feasible time line, possible budgets required along with the

potential challenges you foresee and the solutions to tackle them. Support

your innovation with possible collaterals such as by uploading video links,

photographs, reference material of the innovation developed, etc.

We can make the prototype of the system within two months, if we are

provided with proper budgets for carrying out the model depicted in the block

diagram. The integration is primary job, which should be taken into consideration

in the arduino board, while designing the prototype. We have checked out the

interfacing of all the parts individually with the arduino board. Hence, we assume

that there won't be much problem in the integration of web server, touch capable

display, relay, thermal printer and power supply in the arduino board.

The Competitive Advantage

• Analysis of competitive innovation that are in the area that you are presenting. What is the

competitive advantage of your innovation?

This is first system in India related to bus ticketing system. So, the proposed idea

will be more beneficial to the public, while considering the impact and implementation

of the idea.

• Sources of guidance you received to develop the innovation to be mentioned.

We googled to come up with the idea. • Are you pursuing a patent for your innovation If the prototype is successful, we will be applying for the patent.Maximum Points: 30
