Smart Toll Booth Management System

Overview

Transportation plays a major role in the nation’s economy. In the last decade, we have seen some digital and technology improvements in the transportation process. The current decade transport process is going to see major change and revamp in terms of technology. So it is necessary to include latest technology advancements in this field, to create an efficient and user friendly system. This system concentrates on managing the toll booth system in a smart way using Internet of Things(IoT).

Existing System

The present Smart Toll Booth Management System in India is based on more manual intervention and less automated work. The vehicle driver pays the amount at the toll booth to the toll booth employee. The employee receives the amount and enter the details in the system. From the data employee entered in the system, receipt is generated. Now driver receives the payment receipt & then vehicle pass the toll booth. Here except payment process and digital storage of data, every other work needs manual intervention.

Advantages

Existing Smart Toll Booth Management System follows a digitized payment system. So data analysis can be done.
Compared to previous manual entry of data, this process is efficient.

Disadvantages

The more manual work needed at any point in the process in the system.
Technology advancements in all types of applications during the last decade is very huge. But this is not considered for this toll booth management system. This drawback makes the system less efficient for this generation peoples.

Proposed System

The proposed Smart Toll Booth Management System, focuses on making the system entirely automatic. Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile application is used, in additional to existing system components. By introducing this, we can save time and space. Human resources can be utilized for other efficient tasks. Every vehicle owner will be provided with one unique tag number using RFID. This number will have all the vehicle related data, such as the type of vehicle, vehicle number, owner details, vehicle travel history. So it is easy to monitor and control the vehicle travel details.
