Abstract

In India, toll plazas at the express highways use manual toll collection system at present, where the toll collector enters the data of the vehicle, collects the cash and provide receipt in return. But this procedure leads to heavy traffic at the highways and the vehicles have to wait for long time in queues. To overcome this issue of traffic congestion at the toll booths and time management and also to bring automation in the field of toll management system, we have developed an optimized, innovative and revolutionary system. This is a cost-effective and efficient technique of automatic toll collection system. This application is a software-based system which works on the principle of mobile GPS network and will use various Google APIs for service. The toll tax to be paid at the toll booth is as per the government has decided the toll booth charges. Systems will useonline payment gateways to collect those toll taxes. If the account balance of user is low then it can be recharged at the booth itself. At the user’s end, if the toll tax payment is delayed by certain time limit then user will be notified about the same and if delay still exists then proper penalty will be charged along  with some strict actions. This system will prove a novelty to the existing toll system. Our system will minimize fraud and cheating cases and will also provide convenience to the user. The operational efficiency of the toll collector at the toll booth will also be enhanced by this system.
