BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Commercial vehicles are frequently used in public transportation, distribution of goods and services, exploration, and other applications. The term vehicle includes, but is not limited to: wagons, bicycles, motor vehicles (motorcycles, cars, trucks, and buses), railed vehicles (trains, trams), watercraft (ships, boats), snow craft, aircraft and spacecraft. A number of problems frequently arise when using commercial vehicles. These problems include; driver fatigue, unauthorized passengers, and unauthorized travel. Until now, commercial vehicle users have been generally limited in terms of the methods available for addressing such issues. The methods include: recording trips using audio visual equipment; or manually inspecting the vehicle hoping to detect any problems and using a cell phone, pager or other device to manually alert a third party of any problems that arise. These methods are often
inadequate. When users record the trip audio visual equipment, the user may never actually detect a problem, and if the user does detect a problem, detection is often long after the problem occurs because the user's primary focus is to operate the vehicle. At best, a third party receives a delayed transmission of the recording possibly notices the problem if observed. Even if the third party notices the problem, there is often nothing that can be done immediately to solve the problem.
Within the context of, for example, public transport, there exists a need to identify the number of passengers on board a vehicle. Within a number of train stations, attempts are made to monitor and identify the individuals boarding trains by controlling access to train platforms. Barriers and the like are used to allow passengers access to station platforms upon presenting a valid ticket.
However barriers only provide an indication of the number of passengers accessing platforms and do not provide an accurate indication of the actual number of people boarding a particular train. That is to say, having passed through a barrier, a passenger is usually presented with a number of platform options and timings of trains, all of which could be accessed despite only having a valid ticket for one specific journey. Furthermore barriers could potentially be evaded, thereby casting doubt as to the true number of passengers on any particular route or train.
In order to improve the service quality and operational efficiency of a bus management system, many system models have been proposed. However, most of the conventional systems apply a centralized control to handle the passenger demands with respect to the control behaviours of a bus and a bus stop. Moreover, no explicit interactions between the passengers waiting at a bus stop and a coming bus are considered. Such a kind of problems must be avoided by introducing the present invention 'Wireless Vehicle Seat Occupation Monitoring System. Which solves all the problems mentioned in the above paragraph? WVSOMS solves all above problems by introducing automatic passenger counting and GPS system with the help of Wi-Fi and loT kit. The present invention avoids corruption made on the vacant seats without knowledge of owner and government passenger management system.

• One more objective is IOT kit is used to do all such operations with the help of Wi-Fi.
• GPS system is used to inform the user about user's last stop/ destination information.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The invention designed to monitor seats inside the public transport vehicles e.g. buses, reservation buses, trains, Volvo buses etc. Also present invention monitors valid passenger count inside the vehicle without counting manually at every stop. This has been possible by introducing WVSOMS technology inside the Vehicle. It also directs the passenger to his valid destination by introducing GPS and pre-recorded sound system.

This passenger information is stored in the database of Transport Company or government passenger database. This information is informed to the driver of vehicle on the display screen second part which involves insider view of the vehicle. Here passenger count is informed to
the driver of the vehicle and Transport Company through a small kit which consists of pressure sensor, micro-controller and IOT kit based Wi-Fi module. This small kit is mounted below the passenger seat. Pressure sensor senses pressure on the seat once passenger sat on the seat This pressure sensor informs to the micro-controller and next micro-controller gives this information to the display screen of owner of the Transport Company and driver of the vehicle. This small kit is mounted below the every seat of whole vehicle. Each seat senses pressure on the seat is counted and final passenger count is given to the display screen through IOT kit Wi-Fi module. IOT kit used to give continuous internet connection to transmit the information of small kit.
Display screen present on the driver dashboard and passenger management system. Display screen presents each users start and destination location along with passenger count inside the vehicle.. Because of this information each passenger's last location is displayed so that if any passenger travelling to next location without paying to that location will be disclosed. Also if any seat vacant in between the route and conductor or driver filling the vacant seat without knowledge of passenger management system will be disclosed. This technology is used to avoid corruption in government transport companies too.
Also passenger count displayed on the display screen so driver don't have to check the passenger count every time. All the communication made between driver's display screen and passenger small kit as well as owner's side communication dome through wireless way by using IOT based Wi-Fi module. GPS system is mounted inside the central part of the vehicle or in front of the passenger seat to inform the user about his destination stop. Also a pre-recorded sound will be played to inform current and next stop information.
In this way Wireless Vehicle Seat Occupation Monitoring System (WVSOMS) used in any type of public seat reservation vehicles to improve the service and decrease the manual help.
FIG. 2 shows workflow diagram of the Wireless Vehicle Seat Occupation Monitoring System (WVSOMS). It comprises of user online booking 2020, passenger management system 2030, display screen of owner 2040, Wi-Fi module 2050, micro-controller, seat of the
passenger 2060, pressure sensor 2070,, Wi-Fi module 2090, driver display screen 3000 and database 3010. FIG.2 shows workflow diagram which states complete workflow of the WVSOMS. Workflow starts from online ticket booking for the reservation of seat, this has been done through internet. Passenger management system stores all the information of user or passenger inside their own database. Every passenger's start and destination information will be sent to the driver's display screen through wireless communication. Display screen of owner displays number of passenger count which get through vehicle passenger small kit. So that owner will come to know valid or invalid passengers inside the vehicle. Invalid users are those passengers who sit down in the vehicle without knowledge of owner or transport company. These passengers are come in to the bus through driver and conductor of the bus or transport vehicle. This information is informed through small passenger kit which is mounted below the passenger seat. Each valid user's entry is done in the database. Once passengers sat on the seat of vehicle pressure sensor senses pressure and micro-controller gives this count to owner and driver. But suppose passenger whose entry is not present in the database but still pressure sensed on the seat this means that passenger entered through reference of driver and conductor. This passenger count information from small kit to main display screen is communicated through Wi-Fi module and micro-controller. So that driver don't have to worry about passenger count and no need to count at every stop. This methodology saves human efforts.
FIG. 3 shows workflow diagram of the GPS system inside the vehicle. It comprises of user online booking 3020, get ticket and destination info 3030, GPS screen 3050, check destination 3060. FIG. 3 shows workflow diagram of GPS system used to indicate the passengers last destination stop as a form of user guide. Once user does ticket booking, users seat has been reserved inside the vehicle. The ticket is booked by considering start and destination address. If some type this situation occurs that the destination place is new to the user, that time he has to ask someone else regarding his get down location. But as GPS mounted in front of the passenger seat or in the central place of the vehicle, will indicate the route and each destination place. Because of which user don't have to worry where to get down or ask someone else. A pre-recorded sound also played to indicate
*
current and next destination of the passenger. This system will helps the passenger to check his last stop in any city.
FIG. 4 shows workflow diagram of the Display screen in the WVSOMS. It comprises of display screen 4020, micro-controller 4030, IOT kit 4040, Wi-Fi module 4050, pressure sensor information 4060, pressure sensor count 4070, update information on the display screen 4090. Display screen present in front of the driver and owner/ passenger management system. Display screen displays the total count of the passenger inside the vehicle, start and destination information. Total count of the passenger is calculated with pressure sensor kit which is "mounted on every seat of the vehicle, when pressure sensor senses pressure this means that passenger is present on the seat. In this way total count is calculated in the transport vehicle. If in between passenger get down then automatically count will be decremented because once passenger get down pressure sensor will not sense anything this information micro-controller sends to display screen and display screen decrements the passenger count, also passenger start and destination information updated through database on the display screen. This display screen shows the correct way to count passenger, if any passenger sit down by reference of any one (driver, conductor, TC] that will be detected. In this way indirectly will avoid the corruption, Present invention performs Wireless Vehicle Seat Occupation Monitoring System, Which helps the user to minimize his effort on the booking of gas cylinder by automatic way. Also provides more security in case gas leakage detection by providing sound alarm and voice message system using IOT based wi-fi technology. Thus such an invention avoids gas explosion accidents, causes due to gas leakage inside the gas cylinder. In this way gas leakage detection mechanism works.
