Automatic Toll Gate with Vehicular Security
CHAPTER 1
PROJECT OVERVIEW
1.1 INTRODUCTION
A toll road is a privately or publicly built road for which a driver pays a toll for use. Structures for which tolls are charged include toll bridges and toll tunnels. Non-toll roads are financed using other sources of revenue, most typically fuel tax or general tax funds. The building or facility in which a toll is collected may be called a toll booth, toll house, toll plaza, toll station, toll bar or tollgate. The growth of the industrial revolution needed a good transport system and in 1663, Parliament passed what was known as the Turnpike Act. This was originally only used in three counties to see if it worked. The act allowed magistrates in these three counties to charge people for using roads in these counties and the money raised was spent on properly maintaining these roads. The success of this scheme meant that the 1663 Act was the first of hundreds throughout the country. People had to pay what was called a toll to use the roads. Toll gates were established through which people and carriages had to pass before continuing with their journey.By introducing RFID and zigbee,the vehicles can pass smoothly through toll gates. In addition to preventing traffic jams, drivers do not have to waste time making payments. Furthermore, there are other merits that should not be overlooked such as not having to go through the hassle of preparing cash at the toll gate and being able to concentrate on driving.
1.2OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT WORK
This project is designed and implemented based on the RFID and Zigbee technology used to transmit the vehicle engine number to the toll gate. This system helps to avoid car theft and avoid trespasser to the nation. A unique identity card (RFID) which holds information about vehicle’s owner, license, insurance and owner’s banking information, photo ID, road tax.
By using RFID and Zigbee technology in this project, the owner arrives the toll booth, first of all the receiver
