Abstract

Delay at tollbooths is nowadays quite common in almost all the major highways. This leads to increases in congestion, inconvenience and fuel consumption. Automatic Toll Collection System brings a new idea to eliminate the delay at tollbooths. Here a micro controller based automatic system using infrared sensors is being utilized. IR sensors have been used as these are economical, have perfect line of sight, hence less interference. Automatic toll collection system aims to collect toll from the vehicles without making the vehicle stop at the tollbooth. Each user is provided with a module that is to be mounted on the windshield of the vehicle which consists of transmitter, receiver, microcontroller and a LCD unit. The toll booth is equipped with another module for collecting toll from each user. The computer at the toll booth holds the database consisting of details regarding each user along with a unique code. The Automatic Toll Collection System include benefits to both toll authorities and facility users, in terms of time and cost saving, improved security, increased capacity and greater convenience.
