Smart highway toll collection system

Abstract

Smart highway toll collection system is used to minimize the time by collecting the toll amount electronically. In RFID based toll collection systems we face many problems. In order to overcome that this proposed system is developed with an automated license plate recognition system. In this system, a webcam is interfaced with a raspberry pi that captures the image of a vehicle that passes through the tollgate. The captured image will be processed by image processing techniques and it will be sent to the R.T.O database server to identify the users and the type of their vehicle. This retrieved information will be sent to the system through GSM module and the respected amount will be deducted from users account and it will be notified to the mobile number which has been registered before. If the respected amount is deducted correctly the barrier will open and the vehicle is allowed to leave the tollbooth. If not the barrier will remain closed.
