Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a passenger assistance and fare management system for public transport vehicles that enhances passenger safety by continuously monitoring the transport vehicle’s interior and travel conditions, detecting potential security threats such as harassment, pocket-picking, or unattended objects, and responding effectively through timely alerts and interventions to reduce risks, ensuring a safer and more secure travel environment for all passengers throughout the journey.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The need for a passenger assistance in public transport vehicles arises from the growing demand for safer, more efficient, and user-friendly transit experiences. Passengers often face challenges such as boarding difficulties, harassment, unattended objects, and difficulty in navigating payment options, leading to delays, inconvenience, and safety risks. Traditional manual monitoring and ticketing systems are limited in scope, prone to errors, and unable to provide real-time assistance or alerts. Users also struggle with secure handling of cash, lost belongings, and timely fare transactions. Therefore, an integrated system that monitor passenger safety, assist during boarding, manage fares digitally and physically, and provide real-time alerts is essential to enhance convenience, security, and operational efficiency in public transport.

[0003] Existing public transport assistance and fare management systems, such as the Quantum Self Securement Stations and audio guidance systems, offer benefits like automated wheelchair securement and support for visually impaired passengers. However, these systems often operate in isolation, lacking integration with other onboard technologies. This fragmentation can lead to inefficiencies and a disjointed user experience. Additionally, some fare collection systems, like the SmartRider, have faced criticism for increased costs and potential fare overcharges due to issues like forgotten tag-offs or malfunctioning machines. These drawbacks highlight the need for more integrated, user-friendly solutions in public transport systems.

[0004] US6957772B1 discloses a system and method for collecting ticket data from mass transportation vehicles in which conductors on each vehicle collect tickets, scan in the ticket information into readers, and the readers on each vehicle transmit the ticket information back to a central computer. In some embodiments the central computer can also transmit data, such as expected passenger lists, to the readers.

[0005] US20160019727A1 discloses a remote transit authority fare collection system includes at least one server configured to receive fare collection information and at least one database configured to store the fare collection information received by the at least one server. The at least one server is further configured to aggregate the fare collection information, and the at least one server is further configured to analyze the fare collection information, wherein the fare collection information received by the at least one server is received over a network from a remote unit. The invention further includes a remote transit authority fare collection process.

[0006] Conventionally, many systems are available in the market for assisting passengers in managing fare in public transport. However, the cited inventions lack to provide the ability to integrate real-time passenger monitoring, automated boarding assistance, secure handling of lost or unattended belongings, and coordinated fare management, resulting in inefficiencies, fragmented user experience, delayed responses, and limited safety and convenience for passengers throughout the journey.

[0007] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, there exists a need in the art to develop a system that requires to be capable of providing continuous monitoring of passenger safety, assisting during boarding, enabling both digital and physical fare management, delivering real-time alerts, and securely handling lost or unattended belongings, thereby ensuring a safer, more efficient, and user-friendly public transport experience.

[0023] Referring to Figure 1 and 2, an isometric view of a passenger assistance and fare management system for public transport vehicles and an inner view of a body 101 associated with the system is illustrated, respectively, comprising a body 101 developed to be mounted on a motorized dual-axis slider 102 attached to a ceiling portion of a transport vehicle, an AI(artificial intelligence)-enabled camera 218 integrated with the body 101, a robotic link 201 connected to the body 101 via a motorized ball and socket joint 202, the link 201 equipped with a multi-fingered gripper 203, an object retrieval arrangement integrated with the body 101, includes a self-contained internal storage compartment 204, a motorized scissor unit 205 equipped with a precise clamping unit 206, a harassment detection and shielding arrangement, comprises an Archimedean spiral jack unit 103, a plurality of flaps 104 made of hard material mounted at an end of the Archimedean spiral jack, a passenger service arrangement integrated with the body 101, includes a touch interactive display unit 207 integrated with the body 101, a mini printer 208, an automated transaction assembly integrated within the body 101, includes a insertion slit 209 integrated into the body 101, an internal AI (artificial intelligence)-based imaging unit 210, a pair of motorized rollers 211 positioned near the insertion slit 209, a sorting conveyor belt 212 adjacent to the slit 209, a segmented currency reservoir 213, a spring-loaded ejector arm 214 fitted with a textured pad 215, a plurality of speakers 216 are distributed throughout the transport vehicle, a plurality of LED (light emitting diode) lights 217 are attached on the body 101.

[0024] The system disclosed in the present invention includes a body 101 mounted on a motorized dual-axis slider 102 that is attached to the ceiling of a transport vehicle. The body 101 functions as the primary structural platform, supporting integration of multiple operational modules including monitoring, passenger assistance, safety shielding, fare management, and transaction handling for enabling seamless coordination of diverse functions within the vehicle.

[0025] An AI (artificial intelligence)-enabled camera 218 is integrated with the body 101 for continuous monitoring of the transport vehicle entrance and interior to detect passenger boarding difficulties, unattended objects, physical harassment, pocket-picking, and passenger presence. The camera 218 comprises of an image capturing arrangement including a set of lenses that captures multiple images in vicinity of the transport vehicle and the captured images are stored within a memory of the camera 218 in form of an optical data. The camera 218 also comprises of a processor that employ computer vision and deep learning protocols, including object detection, segmentation, and edge detection, such that the processor processes the optical data and extracts the required data from the captured images. The extracted data is further converted into digital pulses and bits and are further transmitted to the microcontroller for coordinated execution of monitoring and safety functions.

[0026] A robotic link 201 is connected to the body 101 via a motorized ball and socket joint 202, the link 201 equipped with a multi-fingered gripper 203 to assist passengers during boarding, ensuring accessibility and support. In case, the camera 218 detects boarding of the passenger, the microcontroller actuates the robotic link 201 to extend and position gripper 203 in proximity of the passenger.

[0027] The robotic link 201 contains several segments that are attached together by motorized joints also referred to as axes. Each joints of the segments contains a step motor that rotates and allows the robotic link 201 to complete a specific motion in translating the equipped gripper 203.

[0028] The gripper 203 is then actuated by the microcontroller as the gripper 203 is translated in proximity of the passenger. As actuated, the gripper 203 provide assistance to passenger during boarding. The gripper 203 works by using an electric motor connected to a gripping jaw of the gripper 203 via a lead screw. The motor provides power to the lead screw attached to the fixed frame of the gripper 203. As the screw rotates, it pushes or pulls the gripping jaw towards or away from the fixed jaw depending on the direction of rotation. This movement allows the gripper 203 to assist the passenger.

[0029] An object retrieval arrangement is integrated with the body 101 for safekeeping fallen or left-behind items inside the transport vehicle. The object retrieval arrangement includes a self-contained internal storage compartment 204 is integrated within the body 101 for safekeeping and later retrieval of lost objects. A motorized scissor unit 205 with a clamping unit 206 is attached on the compartment 204 to retrieve the lost items.

[0030] In case, the camera 218 detects leftover or lost objects, the microcontroller actuates the scissor securely grip and maneuver detected objects for safe deposit to the compartment 204. The scissor unit 205 comprises a series of crossed metal arms arranged in a scissor pattern connected by hinges that allow them to fold and unfold. When the scissor unit 205 is in its lowest position, the scissor arms are fully compressed. The hydraulic cylinders are retracted. The hydraulic pump begins to move hydraulic fluid from the reservoir 213 to the hydraulic cylinders. The fluid enters the cylinders under high pressure, causing the pistons inside the cylinders to extend. As the hydraulic cylinders extend, they push against the scissor arms causing them to open and rise. At this point, the hydraulic fluid continues to apply pressure to keep the platform at the desired height. The scissor arms are locked in place by the pressure from the hydraulic cylinders, which stabilizes the platform. To adjust the height or lower the platform, the hydraulic pump activates a release valve. This allows hydraulic fluid to flow back into the reservoir 213, reducing pressure in the cylinders. As the hydraulic pressure decreases, the cylinders retract, causing the scissor arms to fold back together and returning the scissor unit 205 to the compartment 204.

[0031] A plurality of speakers 216 are distributed throughout the vehicle to generate audible alerts in response to lost objects, harassment, or pocket-picking events. The speaker works by converting the electrical signal into the audio signal. The speakers 216 consist of a cone known as a diaphragm attached to a coil-shaped wire placed between two magnets. When the electric signal is passed through the voice coil, a varying magnetic field is generated by the coil that interacts with the magnet causing the diaphragm to move back and forth. The movement of the diaphragm pushes and pulls air creating sound waves just like the electrical signal received and used to notify the user.

[0032] A harassment detection and shielding arrangement is integrated with the slider 102 to enhance passenger safety. The harassment detection and shielding arrangement comprising an Archimedean spiral jack unit 103 and a plurality of flaps 104 made of hard material mounted at an end of the spiral jack. In case, the camera 218 detect harassment, the microcontroller actuates the Archimedean spiral jack unit 103 to extend the flaps 104 to make a restriction barrier.

[0033] The Archimedean spiral jack unit 103 operates on the principle of rotational-to-linear motion conversion. When the jack rotates, its spiral assembly gradually pushes connected linkages downward, causing the attached flaps 104 to extend. As the spiral progresses, the flaps 104 expand outward through hinge joints, forming a controlled descending barrier around a selected passenger. The spiral assembly provides adjustable coverage, enabling quick deployment of rigid flaps 104 to shield victims from harassment or threats.

[0034] The flaps 104 are connected via hinge joints to allow expansion and contraction for adjustable coverage. The hinge joint preferably involves the use of an electric motor to control the movement of the hinge and the connected component. The hinge joint provides the pivot point around which the movement occurs. The motor is the core component responsible for generating the rotational motion. The motor converts the electrical energy into mechanical energy, producing the necessary torque that drives the hinge. As the motor rotates, the hinge orients the flaps 104.

[0035] The passenger service arrangement integrated with the body 101 facilitates fare processing and ticket issuance. The passenger service arrangement includes a touch interactive display unit 207 to illustrate the current route and upcoming stops, enabling passengers to select and confirm destinations. The display panel consists of multiple layers, including a transparent conductive layer such as indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass, which forms the surface that users directly touch. Beneath the layer lies a grid of electrodes, typically made of a conductive material like copper or silver, arranged in rows and columns. When the user touches the display panel, it creates a measurable change in capacitance at the point of contact, altering the electrical field between the electrodes. This change is detected by the controller circuitry embedded within the display panel, which interprets the position and intensity of the touch. The controller then converts this data into digital signals representing user inputs, which are further processed by the microcontroller associated with the device.

[0036] A payment processing module is configured to offer online payments with a scannable QR code. The payment processing module works by generating the unique scannable QR code linked to the transport vehicle’s secure digital payment gateway. When the passenger selects a destination on the touch interactive display unit 207, the corresponding fare is calculated by the processing unit. The payment module instantly encodes this transaction information into a dynamic QR code displayed on the screen. Passengers scan the QR code using a smartphone or digital wallet application, which redirects them to a secure payment interface. The system supports multiple payment methods such as UPI, debit or credit cards, and mobile wallets. Once the payment is successfully processed, a confirmation signal is transmitted back to the microcontroller.

[0037] A mini printer 208 for immediate dispensing of physical tickets. Upon making the payments, the microcontroller actuates the mini printer 208 to generate a receipt, and dispense a physical ticket. The printer 208 uses thermal printing technology, where a thermal print head selectively heats coated areas of special thermal paper to produce visible characters and symbols without requiring ink. The paper roll is stored inside a compact compartment 204 within the body 101, and a motorized roller assembly guides the paper through the print head to ensure smooth feeding. After printing, a cutter assembly, often a serrated edge, enables the passenger to easily tear off the ticket. The printer 208 is also synchronized with the system’s real-time data, ensuring each ticket contains up-to-date route and payment information. In case of payment failure, the module automatically prompts the user to retry or choose an alternate method, ensuring seamless fare collection.

[0038] An automated transaction assembly integrated within the body 101, enables secure currency handling and cash management. The transaction assembly comprising an insertion slit 209 with an AI-based imaging unit 210 for scanning and authenticating banknotes. The imaging unit 210 comprises of an image capturing arrangement including a set of lenses that captures multiple images of the banknotes and the captured images are stored within a memory of the imaging unit 210 in form of an optical data. The imaging unit 210 also comprises of a processor that employ computer vision and deep learning protocols, including object detection, segmentation, and edge detection, such that the processor processes the optical data and extracts the required data from the captured images. The extracted data is further converted into digital pulses and bits and are further transmitted to the microcontroller.

[0039] A plurality of motorized rollers 211 are arranged behind the slit 209 for guiding banknotes. As the passenger insert banknotes, the microcontroller actuates the rollers 211 to transfer the banknotes over a sorting conveyor belt 212 to separate denominations. The motorized roller 211 operates by using an electric motor to drive a roller 211, which rotates around its axis to transfer the banknotes. The motor's rotational energy is transmitted to the roller 211 through a gear assembly. The movement is controlled by the microcontroller that manages the motor's speed and direction, allowing precise adjustments.

[0040] The conveyor belt 212 works by using two motorized pulleys that loop over a long stretch of thick and durable material. The motor drives the pulley at the same speed and spin in the same. As the pulley turns, it pulls the belt 212 along its path. The belt 212 moves over a series of rollers 211, which reduce friction and support the belt 212. As the belt 212 moves, the banknotes placed on the conveyor belt 212 is transported from one end to the other.

[0041] A segmented currency reservoir 213 for secure storage and spring-loaded ejector arms 214 to propel banknotes forward with consistent force. The ejector arm 214 is connected to a compression spring that stores potential energy when the arm is pulled back into its resting position. When the microcontroller commands a withdrawal or sorting action, the spring is released, pushing the ejector arm 214 forward. A textured pad 215 is mounted on the ejector arm’s front surface to create friction with the banknote, ensuring that the note is gripped firmly without slipping. As the spring expands, the arm pushes the note forward at a uniform speed and consistent force, preventing folds or jams.

[0042] A microphone is arranged with the body 101, allowing reception of verbal commands from passengers for ticket booking, processed by the microcontroller using pre-fed machine learning protocols to determine and display the most probable destination. When the user speaks to give voice commands, the given commands are first captures by the microphone. These sound waves from the captured voice commands hit the diaphragm which vibrates back and forth in response to sound waves. The back and forth movement of the diaphragm is then transferred to a capacitor connected to the microphone that converts the vibrations into an electrical signal that mirrors the pattern of the sound waves. The electrical signal is sent to the microcontroller for further processing.

[0043] An OCR module integrated with the body 101 and synced with the camera 218 reads passenger fare cards, matching information with a verification database for transaction processing. The OCR (optical character recognition) module reads passenger fare cards by capturing the printed or encoded text and symbols on the card using camera 218. When the card is placed in front of the reader, the module illuminates the surface using controlled lighting to reduce glare and enhance visibility of printed data such as numbers, barcodes, or characters. The captured image is processed through pre-trained OCR protocol that segment the card surface, isolate readable characters, and convert them into digital text. This digital data is then transmitted to the microcontroller, which cross-verifies it against a stored verification database containing valid fare card records. If a match is found, the system approves the card for fare processing; otherwise, it generates an alert or rejection.

[0044] Additionally, a plurality of LED lights 217 attached to the body 101 illuminate detected perpetrators for identification and deterrence. The LED lights 217 are made from semiconductor materials which have properties that allow them to emit light. The LED lights 217 contains a p-n junction, where a p-type region is positively charged and an n-type region is negatively charged. When voltage is applied, electrons from the n-region move towards the p-region, and holes from the p-region move towards the n-region. As the electrons move across the p-n junction, they recombine with the holes. During this process, the electrons lose energy, and this energy is released in the form of photons (light).

[0045] Moreover, a battery is associated with the device to supply power to electrically powered components which are employed herein. The battery is comprised of a pair of electrodes known as a cathode and an anode. A voltage is generated between the anode and cathode via oxidation/reduction and thus produces the electrical energy to provide to the device.

[0046] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the body 101 on the motorized dual-axis slider 102 attached to the ceiling portion of the transport vehicle, where the AI-enabled camera 218 continuously monitors the vehicle entrance and interior to detect passenger boarding difficulties, unattended objects, physical harassment, pocket-picking, and passenger presence, and the collected data is processed by the processing unit to initiate appropriate responses, the robotic link 201 connected via motorized ball-and- socket joint 202 extends the multi-fingered gripper 203 to assist passengers during boarding, while the object retrieval arrangement, comprising the self-contained internal storage compartment 204 and the motorized scissor unit 205 with the precise clamping unit 206, grips and deposits lost or unattended items securely into the compartment 204. The harassment detection and shielding arrangement operates by activating the Archimedean spiral jack unit 103 to deploy the plurality of flaps 104 through hinge joints, enclosing the victim for protection, and the passenger service arrangement allows fare processing and ticket issuance via the touch interactive display unit 207, payment processing module, mini printer 208, and microphone, where verbal commands are processed using pre-fed machine learning protocols. The automated transaction assembly scans, authenticates, sorts, and stores banknotes in the segmented currency reservoir 213 using motorized rollers 211, the conveyor belt 212, and spring-loaded ejector arms 214. Simultaneously, the OCR module reads fare cards, the speakers 216 generate audible alerts, and LED lights 217 illuminate detected perpetrators, all coordinated by the processing unit for seamless monitoring, assistance, safety, fare processing, and transaction operations.
