dc.description.abstract | ATCS is an Automated Toll Collection System used for collecting automatically. In this
project we do the identification with the help of radio frequency. A vehicle will hold an RFID
tag. This tag is nothing but unique identification number assigned. This will be assigned by
RTO or traffic governing authority. In accordance with this number we will store, all basic
information as well as the amount he has paid in advance for the TOLL collection. Reader
will be strategically placed at toll collection center. Whenever the vehicle passes the toll
collection center, the tax amount will be deducted from his prepaid balance. New balance will
be updated. In case if one has insufficient balance, his updated balance will be negative one.
To tackle this problem, we are alarming a sound, which will alert the authority that this
vehicle doesn’t have sufficient balance and that particular vehicle can be trapped. As vehicles
don’t have to stop in a queue, it assures time saving, fuel conservation and also contributing
in saving money. Automatic Toll Collection systems have really helped a lot in reducing the
heavy congestion caused in the metropolitan cities of today. It is one of the easy methods
used to organize the heavy flow of traffic. | en_US |
