An Automated Toll Gate System Using VANET

Safe and optimum time of traveling is one of the major concern for all vehicle users. Due to technological advancements, the number of vehicles manufactured per year is increasing day by day. Also to save time during the transportation number of users using vehicles are also increasing day by day. While moving on the national highway, vehicles have to face toll gate system. Since the toll gate system is operated manually and the number of vehicles is increasing day by day, so average waiting time per vehicle and Total service time (TST) at the toll increases. In this paper, an automated toll system is proposed through vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET) to reduce average waiting time per vehicle and TST. The proposed routing protocol is compared in terms of generic network parameters like End-to-End delay, and TST with the existing VANET routing protocols i.e. Geographic Source Routing (GSR) and Anchor based Street Traffic Aware Routing (A-STAR).)
