DEVELOPMENT OF ELECTRONIC TOLL COLLECTION OF VEHICLES ON THE HIGHWAYS USING RFID

Electronic Toll Collection System is a new technology for collecting toll in a faster and more efficient way. It is a great alternative to long waiting at manual toll plazas. In order to overcome the wastage of time and fuel at same time we have come up with a concept of RFID based automated toll collection system using Arduino. RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification; these cards are unique identities provided to every vehicle by Registration Office at each city. Whenever a vehicle with such Unique ID reaches the toll plaza, the RFID card reader attached on the toll plaza gate reads the card and transfer the unique ID to Arduino ATmega 328. Accordingly the processor works and deducts a fixed money from prepaid card. If the card’s ID is valid the controller will command the servo motor to start and open the gate, letting the vehicle to pass. If the card is not valid it will prompt to move the vehicle to manual toll collection lane. A load cell is also used in this project to measure the weight of vehicles so that no over loaded vehicle can pass through the Toll.
