Project Title

Automatic toll tax collection with sms alerts

Project Area of Specialization Artificial IntelligenceProject Summary

Here, when a vehicle comes into the toll plaza, the IR sensor gives the information to the microcontroller which is in the device and the RFID reader reads the information from the tag in the vehicle. Microcontroller processes it and the transaction takes place at the toll plaza. The details will be displayed on the LCD as well as it is send SMS to the users mobile through the GSM. When person enters the toll plaza with an invalid card or with a card having no balance or without any card the microcontroller intimates the motor to close the gate at the plaza. By this way we can control the wrong passing in the toll plaza. By introducing this method, we can avoid the inconveniences experiencing in the toll plaza and we can also have more convenient and new generation toll plazas. 

Project Objectives

Designed a system to give complete result for traffic and transport related problems such as Toll gate control, traffic signal control, traffic rules violation control, parking Management and special zone alert using the RFID technology. It is proposed as a low cost optimized technique using RFID and GSM mobile technology. At the toll plaza, there will be a large LCD screen for displaying details of the transaction. At the same time, it will show: 

 1. The duration of toll plaza. 

 2. Total cost of that road.  

3. Embedded System can design for easy to Pay Toll Fees Using RFID and Alcohol sensor to Prevent Accidents on the Highways. 

 4. The remaining balances after each transaction.  

5. Automatic control system using RFID for toll collection powered by compound power generation from speed breakers and solar cells with GSM technology: a compound electricity generation system using speed breakers and solar cells to power the whole system automatic 

Project Implementation Method

Automatic tolling system using Atmel uses the signals coming from the RFID to check if the vehicle has entered a certain location. In an event where it has, the Arduino uses the GSM module and the SIM slot to send a text message to the user informing them of the amount to be deducted. When the vehicle is going to enter into the toll plaza, the first aim is to detect the type & no. of the vehicle. For that purpose it has to first pass through the IR transmitter - receiver gate then we have here the RFID system. In this system the tag which is stickled at the front glass of the vehicle is detected by the RFID reader & the data is matched with the data base provided at every toll booth. Then the consumer has to just swap his smart card so that desired amount of toll will be deducted from his account. 

Benefits of the Project

1.Toll gate control

2. Toll gate trafiic control

3. Automatic Tax Collection with sms alert

4. Low cost toll collection system

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

The Automatic toll collection system in expressway based on RFID, a design scheme was put forward. It has characteristics of low cost, high security, far communication distance and high efficiency, etc. It not only can improve technology level of charge, but also improve passage ability of expressway. Automatic toll collection system is an effective measure to reduce management costs and fees, at the same time, greatly reduce noise and pollutant emission of toll station. In the design of the proposed Automatic toll collection (ATC) system, real time toll collection and anti-theft solution system have been designed. This reduces the manual labor and delays that often occur on roads. This system of collecting tolls is eco-friendly and also results in increased toll lane capacity. Also an anti-theft solution system module which prevents passing of any defaulter vehicle is implemented, thus assuring security on the roadways.
