RTO Automation System is basically a digital system to overcome the manual task. It is the system which handles the work based on NFC (Near Field Communication). Many modern smart phones and tablets have an integrated scanner that can read NFC chips. All one needs to do for driver's licence checks is attach a single low-cost NFC chip to the driver's license. The NFC chip stores a unique combination of numbers. This ID will be read by the smartphone and the NFC to web application with the underlying NFC technology and uniquely associated with the driver's master data in the web application. We are going to develop a mobile application, database and NFC technology that enables the exchange of data between different devices over distances. . The proposed system will also consist of a GPS tracking system in which the traffic police can enter the number place and track town a criminal.

For making the day to day life more convenient for the passengers travelling in bus some technologies can be used like Near Field Communication (NFC), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). The proposed system is based on ticketing and identification of passengers in public transport. The system suggest a user friendly automated ticketing system which will automatically deduct the passengers fare according to the distance travelled as well as detect the passengers detail information. The system also helps to calculate the total revenue of a single bus in a day. Another important aspect is reusability, which helps use ticket multiple times as it is rechargeable.
NEAR FIELD COMMUNICATION (NFC) TECHNOLOGY: A SURVEY IJCI JOURNAL
Near Field Communication, NFC- is one of the latest
short range wireless communication technologies.
NFC provides safe communication between electronic
gadgets. NFC-enabled devices can just be pointed or
touched by the users of their devices to other NFC-
enabled devices to communicate with them. With NFC
technology, communication is established when an NF
C-compatible device is brought within a few
centimetres of another i.e. around 20 cm theoretica
lly (4cm is practical). The immense benefit of the
short
transmission range is that it prevents eavesdroppin
g on NFC-enabled dealings. NFC technology enables
several innovative usage scenarios for mobile devic
es. NFC technology works on the basis of RFID
technology which uses magnetic field induction to c
ommence communication between electronic devices in
close vicinity. NFC operates at 13.56MHz and has 42
4kbps maximum data transfer rate. NFC is
complementary to Bluetooth and 802.11 with their lo
ng distance capabilities. In card emulation mode NF
C
devices can offer contactless/wireless smart card s
tandard. This technology enables smart phones to
replace traditional plastic cards for the purpose o
f ticketing, payment, etc. Sharing (share files bet
ween
phones), service discovery i.e. get information by
touching smart phones etc. are other possible
applications of NFC using smart phones. This paper
provides an overview of NFC technology in a detaile
d
manner including working principle, transmission de
tails, protocols and standards, application scenari
os,
future market, security standards and vendor’s chip
sets which are available for this standard. This
comprehensive survey should serve as a useful guide
for students, researchers and academicians who are
interested in NFC Technology and its applications [

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Transforming the NFC Public Transport Experience from Vision to Reality -- The Necessities of NFC Forum Harmonization Efforts
1. TRANSFORMING THE NFC PUBLIC
TRANSPORT EXPERIENCE FROM VISION
TO REALITY
– The Necessities of NFC Forum Harmonization Efforts
~ by NFC Forum Transport SIG
Advancing Near Field Communication Technology
2. TRANSFORMING THE NFC PUBLIC TRANSPORT
EXPERIENCE
● What is the role of the NFC Forum Transport SIG
The NFC Forum Transport SIG acts as a bridge between all
transport industry stakeholders, from identifying NFC roadblocks
to enabling a seamless integration of NFC by providing all players
with the information and tools they need to succeed.
● How is the Transport SIG working to increase the
adoption of NFC in the Public Transport sector?
By working with key stakeholders in leading standards organizations
to harmonize specifications. The end goal is to facilitate a global
public transport environment in which passengers board with
unprecedented speed and ease, fare collection and access are
handled with accuracy, and the user experience is uniformly positive
from country to country, and transit system to transit system.

* Check-in/Check-out means that the user has to tap his or her
phone when entering and when leaving the system.
4. INTRODUCTION, MOTIVATION AND INITIAL SITUATION
1. Over the last 10 years, the public transport market has been ready to embrace NFC-enabled mobile
services but field introduction did not take place as could have been expected.
2. The fragmentation of contactless specifications may be the major reason why NFC is not as successful as
it could be.
ISO/IEC 14443, ISO/IEC 18092, EMVCo L1 and NFC Forum analog are built on the same technical foundation but over
time developed differences that may lead to interoperability issues.
NFC’s value proposition claims that it is easy to use, self-explanatory, secure and compatible with existing contactless
infrastructures. This proposition is currently broken since service providers and users cannot rely on the interoperability
of NFC mobile devices with their contactless application.
Case-by-case investigation is required to determine if a certain NFC-enabled service will be supported by a dedicated
type of NFC mobile device
3. In order to make NFC a market success, NFC mobile devices have to come with guaranteed technical
interoperability with the globally relevant contactless infrastructures and applications.
5. THE FRAMEWORK FOR INTEROPERABILITY
Interoperability requires continuous cooperation between the relevant standardization bodies as
specifications evolve. The NFC Forum has established relationships with the relevant bodies:
Global network for alignment on
PT market business requirements
Continuous harmonization of the
relevant specifications via liaisons
Base
standards
PT-specific
standards

6. REQUIREMENTS AND APPROACH
1. In order to support all globally relevant implementations, the NFC mobile device has to be interoperable with
the following standards:
ISO/IEC 14443,
ISO/IEC 18092,
EMVCo L1 and
NFC Forum’s analog specification.
2. Interoperability would be guaranteed if there were one contactless standard for all types of devices and
applications.
However, this straight-forward approach is not practical. The relevant standardization groups can provide good reasons why their
specific work has to be continued. No party will give up their specification in support of a common approach.
Instead, the approach for interoperability of NFC mobile devices has to respect and appreciate the relevance and the roles of the
established working parties.
A collaboration between these parties requires mutual consent of the individual roles and a defined division of work.
3. The foundation for the necessary harmonization work of analog/RF and digital layer specifications for NFC
mobile devices is a broad cooperation among all relevant organizations and was initiated by the NFC Forum.

9. CONTACTLESS INTERFACE
RELEVANT CONTACTLESS STANDARDS
Depending on the use case of an NMD for Public transport the support of different contactless
standards is necessary:
NMD as Reader/Writer or emulating a terminal:
Advance secure communication for mobile ID-management: ISO/IEC 14443, ISO/IEC 18092
Communication to NFC-Tags: NFC Forum (Type 1 Tag – Type 4 Tag)
Managing tickets, communication to electronic ID: ISO/IEC 14443, ISO/IEC 18092
Contactless payment: EMVCo L1, ISO/IEC 18092
NMD in Card emulation:
Contactless payment or direct fare payment: EMVCo L1, ISO/IEC 18092
Emulating a ticket or an electronic ID: ISO/IEC 14443, ISO/IEC 18092
10. WORK AREA “CONTACTLESS INTERFACE”
NFC MOBILE DEVICE AS PLATFORM FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Requirements to a generic NFC mobile platform for PT
PT and payment infrastructures/media using ISO/IEC 14443, EMVCo, ISO/IEC 18092 and NFC tags have to be supported
Requires conformity OR interoperability of NFC mobile devices with these standards
Potential conflicts between requirements of the relevant contactless standards (analog and digital) have to be resolved as precondition
for an implementation in NFC mobile devices
Interoperability has to be tested and certified. Applies for NFC mobile devices AND PT infrastructures or PT media.

11. WORK AREA “CONTACTLESS INTERFACE”
ANTENNA SIZE IMPACT ON COMMUNICATION STABILITY
● NFC performs communication and/or power transfer using magnetic coupling
● Generally, the ratio of the Reader to Card antenna size as well as there relative distance determines
the coupling which has a huge impact on communication stability and/or power transfer
● The 2 extreme cases have to distinguished
Low coupling case: Large difference in antenna size between Reader and Card
High coupling case: Almost equal antenna sizes of Reader and Card
● In the past Readers and Cards have been design for single applications
PT and Payment implementing systems mainly based on low coupling case
Access systems and NMD to NMD communication implementing systems mainly based on high coupling case
New challenges due to multi-application usage of NMD facing both,
low and high coupling cases affecting all, NMD, Readers and Cards.
12. WORK AREA “CONTACTLESS INTERFACE”
RELEVANT ANTENNA SIZES
NFC mobile devices:
According to technology providers, antennas of sizes from Class 1 to Class 6 are relevant.
Antenna sizes between Class 3 and Class 6 are most common.
Trend goes to small antennas.

14. ACHIEVEMENTS
● Harmonization of all relevant analog parameters has been successfully performed
● Interoperability can be ensured independent from antenna size
● Interoperability can be ensured for a minimum defined operating distance
● Testing and certification on PT and NFC Forum side will ensure interoperability
15. OUTLOOK
● Establish cooperation to maintain the analog and digital harmonization status
● Introduce new analog parameter in cooperation with all standardization bodies
16. FURTHER WORK AREAS
● The Transport SIG of the NFC Forum has identified additional work areas that
could be relevant when it comes to defining further requirements of the PT
market. Examples of those work areas include:
Electromagnetic disturbance
Operating distances
Security aspects
