ABSTRACT
In this project we address the problems faced at toll plaza & also introduce identification system for vehicles against which
stolen and accident cases are registered using RFID. The owner has to create an account through mobile application & register his
RFID tag. When vehicle passes through Toll Collection Unit (TCU) it is classified as passenger or goods carrying vehicle based on
its Unique Identification Number (UIN). A goods vehicle is weighed at TCU & if it is overloaded then charged with extra tax. UIN
is passed to Central Server Unit (CSU) where the balance gets deducted from account. Once the balance is deducted at CSU it will
indicate TCS to open the barricade and vehicle is allowed to pass. If vehicle is detected to be stolen at CSU it will indicate TSC
not to open the barricade. Also to overcome the problem of hit & run cases collision detection mechanism is implemented using
vibration sensor in vehicle to identify RFID of collided vehicles. When vehicle is collided IOT module activated and sends data to
server. These details can be used for further action.
Keywords: RFID Reader, GSM, RFID Tag, Arduino Uno, LCD display

on image processing. ANPR (Automatic Number Plate

 Designed a system to give complete solution for traffic
and transport related problems such as Toll gate control,
traffic signal control, traffic rules violation control,
parking Management and special zone alert using the
latest RFID technology. It is proposed as a low cost
optimized solution using RFID and GSM mobile
technology. At the toll plaza, there will be a large LCD
screen for displaying details of the transaction.

5. CONCLUSIONS

Here we have tried to analyze some of the current

RFID and GSM technology, toll collection systems and
their practicality. All system tries to reduce the traffic
overheads at toll plaza. This system includes some of the
benefits to both toll authorities and facility users in terms
