Project Area of Specialization Computer ScienceProject SummaryELECTRONIC TOLL COLLECTION SYSTEM USING RFID
Nowadays the traffic issue of the day is a very serious problem in our country. We have to face traffic jams every day in Pakistan for several hours, which is very annoying at the same time, creating a huge problem in our everyday routines. The traffic jam causes reckless driving and the rash of the vehicles on the road in particular. The government has made many bridges, fly over and bypass roads to decrease the traffic problem. When they pass these by any vehicle, people must give a toll. Unfortunately, in our nation the traffic control system is manual, which holds several times to pass the vehicles and create traffic jam. Here using RFID technology, we introduce an electronic toll collection system that will be an automatic system, Electronic toll collection (ETC) is a wireless system to automatically collect the usage fee or toll charged to vehicles using toll roads, toll bridges and toll tunnels. It is a faster alternative which is replacing tollbooths, where vehicles must stop and the driver manually pays the toll with cash or a card. In most systems, vehicles using the system are equipped with an automated radio transponder device. When the vehicle passes a roadside toll reader device, a radio signal from the reader triggers the transponder, which transmits back an identifying number which registers the vehicle's use of the road, and an electronic payment system charges the user the toll. A major advantage is the driver does not have to stop, reducing traffic delays. Electronic tolling is cheaper than a staffed toll booth, reducing transaction costs for government or private road owners. The ease of varying the amount of the toll makes it easy to implement road congestion pricing, including for high-occupancy lanes, toll lanes that bypass congestion, and city-wide congestion charges. The payment system usually requires users to sign up in advance and load money into a declining-balance account, which is debited each time they pass a toll point.
Electronic toll lanes may operate alongside conventional toll booths so that drivers who do not have transponders can pay at the booth. Open road tolling is an increasingly popular alternative which eliminates toll booths altogether; electronic readers mounted beside or over the road read the transponders as vehicles pass at highway speeds, eliminating traffic bottlenecks created by vehicles slowing down to go through a toll booth lane. Vehicles without transponders are either excluded or pay by plate. A license plate reader takes a picture of the license plate to identify the vehicle, and a bill may be mailed to the address where the car's license plate number is registered, or drivers may have a certain amount of time.
Project ObjectivesThe main objective of this concept is to ease the collecting toll and reduce traffic and improve service. The RFID card will be given to the user which contains the digital code, which has the corresponding details stored in the centralized database system which can be accessed in the relevant office as and when required.
The ETC can be used in any kind of environment. At the toll gates, instead of a person collecting the amounts of vehicles, Use of an automated system helps us to reduce the man power. A system with RFID (radio frequency identification) is used to identify the vehicle. When the vehicle is identified, then the next step the controller will check for the balance in the card. If there is a sufficient amount in the card, then vehicle are allowed to move forward means the gate will be opened automatically and if the card does not have balance then vehicles are not allowed means gate will not be opened.
Project Implementation MethodImplementation Method
Flow of RFID
Flow of RFID based toll tax are:
- Detection of vehicle
- Display of toll
- Payment through RFID card
Whenever any citizen buys a vehicle, first buyer need to do her vehicle registration at the RTO (Regional Transport Office). RTO citizens will add a registration number to it along with it they will send an RFID activated tag. This card would have a special ID that can be used exclusively for that automobile.They can then create an account in the system for that specific smart card and retain the purchase history. The car owner has to pay a minimum balance into this account. Whenever an authorized vehicle enters the toll booth,the motion detectors first sense the proximity of the vehicle,which in turn triggers the RFID circuit to read the RFID, allowing the public key to be placed on the vehicle's windscreen. Based on the balance remaining, the payment will continue to be deducted automatically or the vehicle will be directed to another lane to pay tax manually. In the Centralized Storage Server, the app further updates the information.
Fig Working Process of proto type
It also activates the bill producing function which is transmitted as a text message to the recipient. In another side, if a car owner receives a report with the RTO office about the stealing the corresponding entry of the vehicles, the record is made. Any car arrival at the toll gate of the same ID currently found in the category of stolen vehicle can now be quickly marked as special as the ID assigned to it. In the type of LAN, all toll sites will be linked to one another and along with the unified server. Updates with some type of transaction are updated to the local servers and consolidated server automatically.
Working Principle of Our Project
We have designed our project in such a way that all kinds of users can find it very easy and efficient to use. There will be a screen in front of the toll plaza where it will display the road welcome. He'll move on to the toll plaza after a car crosses the road. It is measured by a w
Benefits of the Project Benefit of ProjectBenefit of Electronic toll collection system:
The electronic toll collection system is a centralized device for receiving, without waiting, tolls from cars. Electronic Toll Collection lanes increase the speed and efficacy of traffic flow
And Save time for vehicles. An electronic toll system is capable of charging a toll to an existing client account electronically. The device will assess when a passing car is licensed,
Automatically charges certain cars, and warns drivers who will not be registered to the local highway patrol. The system of electronic toll collection allows vehicles to travel through a toll facility without any movement or stopping necessary.
Increased Capacity
When reaching the toll plaza, the Automated Toll Collection System would improve transport Capability as we divided the road into four lanes. In fact, our system is automated such thaWhen reaching the toll booth, our system can improve transport capability.
Fuel saving
The totally reduces deceleration, braking and decelerating. This factors in use of the Automated Toll Payment System to saving petrol for tourists. The lack of acceleration lead to a decrease in automobile overhead costs.
Operating cost saving
The toll collection expense is limited over a period of time. The man-hour necessary is reduce because the device does not require any human contact for the toll transaction. Time saving such people should not stop paying tolls, thus saving travel time substantially. In addition to the durability of the travel time it is possible to predict the travel time model that represents.
