IoT Based Toll Collection System and Vehicle Detection Using Raspberry Pi

Project Title

IoT Based Toll Collection System and Vehicle Detection Using Raspberry Pi

Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject Summary

Transportation is the major contributor to the nation’s economy. Improvements in the field of transportation enabled us to have a fast pace lifestyle characterized by exceptional independence of movement, huge trades in manufactured goods and services. The nation’s economic treasure can be said to be directly proportional to the productive transportation methods. As we know numbers of vehicles on the road are increasing day by day, problems such as congestion, accidents, air pollution have become a major factor of concern. Because of the major development in Roadways, there is an increase in the number of toll plazas and leading to have long queues in toll plazas and causing money leakage which leads to more delay. We have designed an IOT based Toll Collection System in which a person can use an RFID to pay the Toll charge. When the RFID is swiped, the system would check if it has enough balance and then deduct the toll charge and update the balance through. Internet of Things (IoT) is basically the ‘things’ which are connected to networks and can exchange data with the help of sensors, electronics, software and connectivity. These systems do not require any human interaction. A trend of IoT Technology is found in many industries like healthcare, Energy, etc. Here the data of the RFID card is sent to the website, through network interconnected with IOT.

Project Objectives

• Shorter queues at toll plazas by increasing toll booth service rates
• Faster and more efficient service
• The ability to make payments by keeping a balance on the card itself.
• The use of postpaid toll statements
• Other general advantages include minimization of fuel wastage and reduced emissions by reducing deceleration rate, waiting time of vehicles in queue, and acceleration.
• Lowered toll collection costs
• Better audit control by centralized user account
• Expanded capacity without building more infrastructure’s

Project Implementation Method

•There are mainly two parts of project.

•1st part is TOLL COLLECTION.

•2nd is NUMBER PLATE DETECTION AND CHECKING REGISTRATION.

•Main equipment for this project is RASPBERRY PI.

•1st part working by using RFID.

•2nd part working by the help of CAMERA

Benefits of the Project

• Automatic collection of toll tax.
• Free flow of traffic.
• Time saving.
• Record maintenance.
• Problems with pursuing toll evaders.
• Avoid the fuel loss.
• Saving of time in collecting toll.
• Avoid financial los

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

FLEXIBILITY OF IMPLEMENTATION

The main power of IoT Based ATCS is the technology, which is used, that is the RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION. The basic power of this technology is that it’s very flexible. Even with the slightest of change in ATCS, the product can be shaped into a completely different implementation and all that can be because RFID is independent of every other hardware that can be used to boost up the system’s performance.
