| dc.description.abstract | Equitable access to public transportation poses significant challenges for individuals
with disabilities, including those with visual impairments, mobility difficulties, and
learning disabilities. Barriers such as lack of autonomy, inefficiency, and inconvenience
disproportionately affect these individuals, who require clear communication and
simplified processes to commute effectively. This study introduces an innovative RFID based bus ticketing system aimed at enhancing inclusivity and fostering independence
for passengers regardless of their physical abilities or social class. The proposed system
provides each passenger with an RFID card to automate travel data recording and
transmission, replacing traditional ticketing methods and manual expense tracking.
This automation reduces both cognitive and physical barriers to transportation. For
visually impaired users, the system integrates voice dialogue features, delivering real time ticketing and travel information in an accessible and user-friendly manner. It also
caters to individuals with Asperger’s syndrome by offering clear and straightforward
communication to ease interactions. Results demonstrate improved boarding efficiency,
enhanced ticketing accuracy, and a more independent travel experience for disabled
passengers. By leveraging radio-frequency identification technology, the system not only
addresses accessibility gaps but also counters discriminatory practices and optimizes
user experiences. This research advances inclusive transportation solutions, promoting
equality and self-reliance for passengers with diverse needs while paving the way for
more equitable public transit systems. | en_US |
