Automated Toll Tax Collection System using Cloud Database

In today’s era vehicles are large in number, the tollbooth seems to become bottleneck to pass through the gates due to their manual operations. This process may take few minutes to pass the toll system. In order to decrease this passing time, we decided to automate the process of toll system by doing technology enablement of Internet of Things (IoT). This work would reduce the manual work and hence would make the passing of the vehicles much faster as compared to traditional toll system.Every vehicle is tagged with a RFID tag, which has vehicle’s registration number in it, which can be sensed by RFID reader present at tollbooth.RFID reader will send this information to IoT controller (Arduino). Sensed registration number can looked in to cloud database for getting wallet balance and if sufficient balance is there, and then toll charges can be deducted automatically. While rider can enjoy pause free ride and will be intimated about his trip deduction charges. For interaction of client a mobile app will also be designed with which client can track all logs of payments and can add money in wallet using the app. The sole purpose of this paper is to reduce the hardships caused by manual toll collection system and it assures time saving, fuel conservation andcontributing in saving of money by making process automatictextbf
