Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) System Using Wi-Fi Technology

Abstract

A toll system is one in which a fee (or toll) is assessed for passage of a vehicle from the tollway. In the existing toll tax system, we observe limitations like mismanagement of time, long queue for the payment of toll tax, the payment in cash. Our aim in this paper is user need to pay toll electronically. Wi-Fi toll collection stations allow the traffic to flow continuously, and vehicle being stopping and starting again. This, in combination with reduced fuel consumption has positive effect on environment. By introducing the Wi-Fi technology, we can make this system automatic and easier. The Android phone need to be included in each vehicle and the details of the vehicle owner must be stored in the database of toll tax system. Wi-Fi technology will leverage the existing payment systems used in ETC and will influence the future of toll collection modes in India.
