Electronic Toll Collection System for Efficient Traffic Control System using ANPR

There are huge amount of vehicles passing through Toll Gate Stations every day. The automatic toll booth would pay the toll automatically. In this system camera is used for capturing the image of the vehicles number plate. The captured image would be converted into the text using ANPR [1] and the toll would be cut from the user’s account and then the gate is opened. The system is divided into the design of three modules, Vehicle Module and the Central Database Module, Tollgate station. The three modules communicate via GSM modem connected to each module, stolen vehicle are also identified and alarm would be buzzed. For the identification of the vehicles, the information of the vehicles is already stored on the central database. Data information is also easily exchanged between the motorists and toll authorities, thereby enabling a more efficient toll collection by reducing traffic.
