RFID Based Toll Collection System

Published on 02 Jul 2021. Written by Karthy R

To automate the toll collection process their by reducing the long queues at toll booths using the RFID tags installed on the vehicle.In addition to this,it cannot only help in vehicle theft detection but also can track vehicles crossing the signal and over speeding vehicles. This system is used by vehicle owners,system administrator.Other general advantages for the motorists include fuel savings and reduced mobile emissions by reducing or eliminating deceleration,waiting time and acceleration.

Whenever any person buys a vehicle, one first needs to get his or her vehicle registered at the RTO office. RTO officials will not only assign a number plate to it but also will give a RFID enabled smart card or a tag.

This card will have a unique ID feasible to use with that vehicle only. They will also create an account for the use of that particular smart card and maintain transaction history in database. User needs to deposit some minimum amount to this account.

Every time a registered vehicle approaches the toll booth, first the Infrared sensors will detect the presence of the vehicle. It will in turn activate the RFID circuit to read the RFID enable smart card fixed on the windscreen of the vehicle. Transaction will begin, depending upon the balance available toll will be deducted directly or the vehicle will be directed towards another lane to pay tax manually.

Whenever any vehicle owner registers a complaint to RTO office regarding theft respective entry is made in the database. Now any vehicle arriving at toll booth with same ID as already present in stolen vehicle category will be easily identified as the ID assigned with it is unique.

Every toll plazas will be connected to each other along with the centralized server in the form of LAN. Updates of any sort of transaction will be immediately updated to local database and centralized server.

Project Description:

AT89S52: The AT89S52 is a low power, high performance CMOS 8-bit microcontroller with 8k bytes of in-system programmable flash memory. This is a powerful microcontroller which provides high flexibility and cost effective solution to many embedded control applications. It has the following standard features: 8K bytes of flash, 256 bytes of RAM, 32 I/O lines, watchdog timer, 2 data pointers, 3 16-bit timers/counters, on-chip oscillator and clock circuitry.
RFID: RFID stands for Radio-Frequency IDentification. The RFID refers to small electronic devices that consist of a small chip and an antenna. The chip typically is capable of carrying 2,000 bytes of data or less.
