Abstract:
The main objective of this Project is to develop an Automatic Toll Tax System which reduces the manual assistance, deliver secure and time efficient solution for the busy or heavy traffic roads.
This Project can be extended to make Automatic Toll Tax System maintains the data base of the vehicles. By entering the data of lost/Stolen vehicles, these vehicles can be tracked through the system. Automatic Toll Tax System does not allow unregistered or lost vehicles.
Any traveler/driver/passenger has to have a SMART card which is nothing but the smart ID card or a GSM Modem with a valid SIM card & credit limit or currency, & this will act as a pre paid card for his Ticketing account.
Any passenger can buy this card & load a currency [say 100rs or 200rs etc.] and card use this card & travel in his vehicle [2wheeler or 4 wheeler or LCV or HCV] carrying this smart card / GSM mobile with a valid SIM & currency.
There is a Smart card reader & a GSM Modem in the toll gate, where he/she can enter or remit the toll amount at the starting point & ending points of his / her Journey. The smart card or SIM card will identify his/ her ID validation.
We propose to accomplish this by an fully automated, paperless & Tamper/pilfer proof solution using FPGA, Smart Cards & GSM Technology. Ticketing will be paperless & fully automated. Pilferage by toll collectors or Ticket issuers will be eliminated.
Introduction:
In India, currently manual intervention is needed for Toll gate payment collection, by all vehicle owners or drivers, whenever they enter or exit a toll road. These toll road are in National & State Highways, Expressways & Elevated roads.
In the fast paced life, Toll Tax System on the highways are supervised and operated by human assistance. On most of the Toll Tax Center, you will find queues. It is time consuming and also requires human assistance.
Evolution of Electronic Toll Collection Systems:
In the field of intelligent toll collection systems, stands out for its versatile design and thorough project management. Such automated systems provide better traffic management and reduce operations costs. By using state of the art technology and modular designs that can easily be adapted for a particular project's need, such auto toll gate systems is able to provide cost-effective cutting-edge electronic toll systems.
Basic Toll Collection Systems
The basic toll management system uses software to provides real-time control, monitoring, and management of the toll revenues. System devices such as toll gates, and traffic lights, if any, are still operated manually. Standard “out of the box†components have minimum requirements for support and maintenance, thus making the system cost effective for small toll operators and annual collection contract operators.
Semi Automatic Toll Collection Systems
Metro 's Semi-Automatic Toll Collection system has many of the features of the fully automatic system, but also relies on human operators to collect the tolls. Software collects and records data, generates traffic reports, and audits the collection of money and class of vehicles. The toll barrier opens and closes automatically in synchronization with the receipt of payment and exit of vehicle. The system creates an audit of the vehicle class identified by the operator and by the system, and makes a recording of the violating incidents.
About Smart Cards:
A RFID card resembles a credit card in size and shape, RFID card usually contains an embedded microprocessor. This Intelligent control system does not allow the unauthorized entry of any person into the control areas. In case if illegal entry through gate is detected, then it will be recorded and alarmed.RFID cards are much more popular in health insurance and banking industries.
Payment of toll using GSM mobile:
The Passenger/driver of all vehicles, that pass toll gate, will get a Message [SMS] about the selected options in his/her Mobile, about the options he has selected. He / She will be opted to authorize his / her travel and the toll amount.
When this travel is authorized by passenger thro’ SMS, the Ticketing system will deduct Rs.X.. from the passengers prepaid account & he will get a balance amt SMS & SMS-ticket with a ticket or transaction number. Same toll can be paid by GSM mobile, so that the vehicle need not even stop at toll gates to pay the toll, there by traffic jam or long queue at the busy high traffic toll gates can be avoided.
