Iot Based Smart Public Distribution System

The document describes an IOT based smart public distribution system project that uses fingerprint authentication and an android application to automatically distribute commodities to authenticated users. The system aims to reduce corruption and fraud by countering malpractices in the existing public distribution system. It uses a raspberry pi, fingerprint module, hydraulic valves and motors to authenticate users and dispense predefined amounts of ration items upon selection in the android app.

Introduction:
The system of providing basic domestic commodities on subsidy to poor families in
developingcountries like India is an important aspect to meet fundamental requirement of
people. Theexisting public distribution system in ration shops requires manual measurement
of quantityand maintenance of record of transactions.
Previously some of the changes were proposed to make PDS smart like, initially the
user is asked to swipe the RFID card. The Raspberry pi compares the unique tag ID with the
data base. If the tag ID matches, the user is asked to scan the finger. Once the user identity is
authenticated, the commodity and quantity can be selected through voice commands. If the
commodity and quantity are valid, the system dispenses the valid commodity. A message is
sent to the user giving the details of the transaction. However, if the authentication fails the
system waits for valid authentication.
The project titled IOT based smart public distribution system is an automatic method
of distribution of commodities to authenticated card holders. Also, the details of transactions
made are maintained in a database. To counter these fraudulent activities this system is
developed which incorporates the following features,
 Fingerprint authentication algorithm used to identify a particular user making the
system secure.
 The commodity and its quantity need to be selected using android application.
 Predefined information about the amount of ration to be distributed.
 Automatic ration distributing mechanism.

Objective:
The aim of this system is to build an automatic and convenient system to protect the
interests of the public by countering the malpractices. The main purpose of the system is to
implement fingerprint matching algorithm for authentication of the user, which in turn
reduces the widespread corruption, misuses of cards and to reduce the time complexity of the
manual data entries. The system is used to protect the products of fair price shop in black
markets.

Methodology:
I. Hardware Tools
Following components are used to achieve desired functionality.
1. Finger print module: A fingerprint module is interfaced with the Raspberry pi. A
minutiae algorithm is used to process the fingerprint obtained from the module.
2. Raspberry pi: The details of each user of the family are enrolled in the database.
Raspberry pi takes the serial number from reader and access corresponding record in
the database in accordance with the thumbprint identification. Figure 1 shows the
Raspberry pi embedded board.

3. DC Motor: The motors are used to control the valve arrangement (i.e.to open and
close the valve).
4. Hydraulic Valve: The purpose of flow control in a hydraulic system is to regulate
speed. The motor operates the hydraulic valve to dispense the oil to the cardholders.
Figure 2 shows the cross sectional view of a hydraulic valve.

II. Flowchart of system


The methodology of system is explained in Figure 3 which shows the flow chart of
IOT based smart public distribution system. Initially the user is asked to enter the ID and
password given to them in the app. The Raspberry pi compares the unique ID with the data
base. If the ID matches, the user can view their profile which will have details of their
transactions. Then user is asked to scan the finger. Once the user is authenticated, the
commodity and quantity can be selected their itself using buttons given. If the commodity
and quantity are valid, the system dispenses the valid commodity. However, if the
authentication fails the system waits for valid authentication.

Results:
This section illustrates the snapshots and results of the overall project.The Figure 4 (a)
displays user login page where they have to enter ID and password to see their profile.Figure
4 (b) shows different options to the user. They can purchase,enrolltheir fingerprint, delete
unwanted fingerprint or view the profile. User can enroll his/her fingerprint by pressing enroll
button as shown in Figure 4 (c).

Figure 4: Snapshot showing an overview of android app.

If the user selects purchase on the android app, system will ask for fingerprint
authentication, if matched it says template is found otherwise no match found is displayed as
shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5:Snapshot shows fingerprint matching.

If the user is authenticated successfully, then commodities can be dispensed. Figure 6


shows 1 Kg of each commodities being dispensed, if user needs another kilograms of each,
then they have to press the respective commodity button once again.

Conclusions:
IOT based Smart public distribution system is an automation system and it is
recompense over the present fair price shops. Fingerprint authentication uses Minutiae
extraction based algorithm, which makes the system more secure and accurate. It eliminates
fake ration card holders and protects the interest of the common people ensuring the country's
food security. By means of its performance one can reduce the corruption level. Selecting the
commodity and quantity through the android app will make the system more smart and
robust. It will help the country's economy to reach new heights. The automated PDS is easy
to implement and requires much less hard work when compared to the other system. Using
this system one can avoid the malpractices because there is no manual operation and also all
information is stored in a database. So this system will be really helpful to the people.

Scope for the future work:


Project can be further extended by making the payment to the purchased commodities
online. Thus it will make system more automatic. Also, distance of communication between
server and client can be increased using internet.
