Abayomi-Alli et al. 1 Introduction Public transportation sector serves as the major pivotal area in today’s society, and it can be classified as an essential mode of transportation within any nation [1]. In the past, traveling from one location to another could take several months due to lack of technology and communication tools. However, modern transportation medium has been revolutionized over the years with additional features making mobility among the society more convenient, accommodating and sophisticated through the use of vehicles such as cars, busses, boats, and aircraft with the focus to aid various means of transportation [2]. Continuous improvement of the transportation system will not only satisfy mobility needs but also contribute to economic development and lead to an advanced economic growth [3]. Most African countries have not fully enjoyed the increased revenue factor based on improper management structures for ticketing, routing management, etc. Bus ticketing system which is a major factor in public transportation has been given little or no attention; thus, maintenance of schedule, fare, and routing details of public buses have not been effectively managed and monitored. Challenges with account management for generated revenue, routing details, etc., still remain a prevailing issue associated with public transportation agencies [1]. In Nigeria, prevailing issues with transportation system include poor road networks, traffic congestion, poor traffic management, and lack of availability of alternative and effective public transportation systems such as trains. However, contrary to all the highlighted issues relating to transportation, public transportation is still the most widely and crucial means of transportation among Nigerians [4]. This study is based on improving ticketing in public transport system using a university campus shuttling as a case study. The aim of the study is based on reducing unaccountability of revenue generated via ticketing and also eradicating malicious argument among passengers and ticket vendors. In addition, the study focuses on improving pressing issues in public transportation systems such as the wastage of a ticketing paper, littering of unused ticketing at bus stations, avoidable human intervention, fraudulent intentions among passengers or ticket vendors, tediousness with ticket distributions mostly during rush hours, and conflict among passengers regarding over or undercharged fares. Since mismanagement of funds due to human error or fraudulent acts has made government participation in funding this sector rather difficult, therefore, this study develops a smart bus ticketing system using a university campus shuttle system as a case study. The rest of the paper is divided into Sect. 2 which gave a detailed literature review while Sect. 3 describes the complete methodology. The implementation and result of the proposed system are discussed in Sect. 4, and the conclusion and future recommendation are explained in Sect. 5. Smart Ticketing for Academic Campus Shuttle Transportation … 239 2 Literature Review Transportation means have been revolutionized over time, and our society has moved from horseback to more convenient, accommodating and sophisticated means of travel using vehicles such as cars, busses, boats, and aircraft which allow us to travel through different means of space on earth. Most recent technologies are all subject of an unavoidable change which aims at improving existing transportation technology. Advancements are made every day to further the convenience as well as the speed of the currently existing vehicles and new ones are being developed especially in the public transportation sector which serves as one of the pivotal areas of the overall transportation means in today’s society. 2.1 E-Ticketing System E-tickets or card demonstrates that its holder has ideal to a predefined benefit, right, or thought. Electronic tickets (E-tickets) give proof that their holders have consented to enter a position of stimulation, utilize a method for transportation, or approach some web administrations. Quite a number of issues must be considered when developing an E-ticketing system, and this could influence the scope and possibilities of the system capabilities. The issues to be considered when developing the e-ticketing system include ticketing structure, integration, the smart card technology, and exploitation of data. 2.1.1 Ticketing Structure Existing transport networks differ from system to system thus for some developed countries such as Paris, Madrid, and Barcelona, the cost of fares for all modes of transportation operations is determined by a unique public transport authority. While, in some other developing countries, the cost of fare is determined among several authorities such as the central city authority or national authority. Furthermore, in some regions, the responsibility for setting fares is held mainly by public transport operators. Considering the rigor transportation structure in Covenant University, where there is a need to first purchase a bus ticket from designated ticket vendors in order to have access to the campus shuttle. Purchasing this ticket can be quite difficult for passengers since there is limited ticket vending stand within the university campus, therefore making it extremely difficult for passengers to access the bus facilities from any location. Covenant University Campus shuttle system adopts the flat rate fare billing method for all bus stops either from the main campus gate to the halls of residence. The implemented ticketing system for this study will be adopting the current fare price. 240 2.1.2 O. Abayomi-Alli et al. Integration For toll accumulation, it is important to separate between the levy joining and ticket combination. However, incorporating ticketing increases the likelihood of utilizing a similar ticket (with conceivable restriction in time) to the existing goal administered by an administrator or a mode with full exchange rights. It is important to take note of incorporated (multi-mode, multi-administrator) toll plans. E-ticketing makes ticketing combination simpler to execute on the grounds that it can deal with a more perplexing toll framework without fundamentally fitting among charges of various administrators or modes. Every administrator or mode keeps its own single charges, and the brilliant card goes about as a one of the kind methods for installment. Moreover, the framework can incorporate principles for move rights with a specific end goal to be more alluring. 2.1.3 Smart Card Technology The smart card technology is basically associated with three kinds of chips such as microcontroller-based, memory-based only, and the wired logic which is related to the functionality that the chip provides [5]. 1. Memory only integrated circuit chip cards: These are electronic attractive stripes that give more security than the conventional card. The read/compose gadget is substantially less costly. The memory-just chip cards do not contain logic or perform counts; they basically store information. 2. Wired logic integrated circuit chip cards: A wired rationale chip card contains a logic-based state machine that gives encryption and verified access to the memory and its substance. Wired rationale cards give a static document framework supporting numerous applications, with discretionary scrambled access to memory substance. Their record frameworks and order set must be changed by overhauling the rationale of the incorporated circuits. 3. Secure microcontroller integrated circuit chip cards: Microcontroller cards contain a microcontroller, a working framework, and read or compose memory that can be refreshed ordinarily. The safe microcontroller chip card contains and executes rationale and computations and stores information as per its working framework. The microcontroller card is a smaller wallet size, and all it needs to work is a control and correspondence terminal. 2.1.4 Exploitation of E-Ticketing Data There is a tendency of user information falling into malicious user’s hands from mining the RFID-based ticketing-related information. Some of this information includes transport ridership by tallying all transport loading up, frequencies, or head-routes by investigating the time interim among transports, and transport entry time at transport Smart Ticketing for Academic Campus Shuttle Transportation … 241 stops by searching for the main individual who taps the savvy card at a transport stop, etc. Mining on people in general transport information gives profitable data on transport, rail, cards utilization, and travel designs, which at any point could be used for approach, arranging and promoting uses. This data will be more entire in a registration/registration framework. 2.2 Review of Related Work This section gives a detailed overview of related works an automated ticketing system for public transport systems.
