RFID Based Toll Plaza System and Vehicle Theft Identification

Abstract

An Automated Toll System is used for toll Collection without making traffic congestion and waiting in long queue with help of RFID technique. Also, by using this system, time can be saved, i.e. by avoiding long queue as no need to stop the vehicle and no need of manual transaction. Most important that, the stolen vehicle will be able to catch easily with help of RFID technique and nail assembly. The current system for collecting toll is on the basis of manual transaction. In this each vehicle has to stop at the toll plaza for payment and there can be a problem of exact transaction. It causes traffic congestion, increase in pollution, and wasting time of people. In Automated Toll System no need to stop vehicle at toll plaza, it will detect the RFID tag, which is mounted on vehicle. After detecting RFID tag, the database on the administrators screen will appear and the balance from the customer’s account will get deducted. So there will not be any problem as mentioned above. An RFID tag is installed on each vehicle with read/write memory. A reader device reads this data when the vehicle comes near the toll booth and compares it with the data in the computer database, if ID is in defaulter i.e. complaint is in police station about lost or something for security purpose nails get up so that it will not able to go outside and it will get automatically caught then allows the access accordingly by opening the gate. But, ID is not in the defaulter list, toll collection is taken and nails goes down and gate get open .The entire system is developed as an embedded system using micro-controller and associated devices. The system is connected to a PC using the RS232C interface in the embedded system. This allows the system to read and write data from/to a database that is from the account.
