TOLLGATE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Abstract

A Tollgate Management System (TMS) is a digital solution designed to streamline toll collection, reduce traffic congestion, and enhance security at toll plazas. Traditional toll collection methods involve manual transactions that lead to inefficiencies, increased wait times, and revenue leakage. The implementation of an automated toll management system offers a seamless and efficient alternative that improves the overall experience for commuters while ensuring accurate revenue collection.
The primary goal of the Tollgate Management System is to automate the toll collection process using advanced technologies such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), and digital payment solutions. RFID-based toll collection involves the use of a unique electronic tag installed in vehicles, which is scanned by RFID readers at toll booths, allowing for automatic deduction of toll charges. This eliminates the need for human intervention and reduces waiting time at toll gates. ANPR technology, on the other hand, captures the vehicle’s number plate and cross-references it with a database to determine toll charges, facilitating a contactless transaction system.
