Human Friendly Smart Trolley with Automatic Billing System

Abstract

Shopping and buying is an integral part of our daily lives. Big mega markets have a wide variety of items and different stores can have different deliveries of goods. It is difficult for many consumers to stand in the long queue for the billing of goods purchased. This causes a wastage of money and a poor bill for the wrong customer. Trolleys are used in supermarkets or grocery stores to make shopping simpler. However, it is difficult for customers to control the trolley while shopping. An automated customer following trolley was implemented which calculates the total sum of grocery items carried in the trolley by the customers. This reduces the customer’s effort to pull the trolley and keep the line for the payment of the grocery products. The customer who has a specific tag and a web camera installed in front of the trolley will recognize the tag and move the trolley to the customer. Using the RFID tag and the Raspberry Pi receiver, the item bill inserted has been obtained in the trolley. This results in an ideal solution to all these problems.
