Advance Automatic Toll Collection & Vehicle Detection During Collision using RFID

Abstract

In this project we address the problems faced at toll plaza & also introduce identification system for vehicles against which stolen and accident cases are registered using RFID. The owner has to create an account through mobile application & register his RFID tag. When vehicle passes through Toll Collection Unit (TCU) it is classified as passenger or goods carrying vehicle based on its Unique Identification Number (UIN). A goods vehicle is weighed at TCU & if it is overloaded then charged with extra tax. UIN is passed to Central Server Unit (CSU) where the balance gets deducted from account. Once the balance is deducted at CSU it will indicate TCS to open the barricade and vehicle is allowed to pass. If vehicle is detected to be stolen at CSU it will indicate TSC not to open the barricade. Also to overcome the problem of hit & run cases collision detection mechanism is implemented using piezoelectric sensor in vehicle to identify RFID of collided vehicles. These details can be used for further action.

Existing System

RFID Based Vehicle Identification During Collisions.

Proposed System

Vehicle detection during collision using RFID part of system implemented and tested. The RFIDs of vehicles are exchanged and stored in memory of VCU placed in the vehicle. Hence it is easy to detect culprit in hit and run cases. The system consists of mainly three units Toll Collection Unit (TCU), Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) and Central Server Unit (CSU). The TCU performs the work toll collection and allows valid vehicles to pass. The VCU keeps check that is only valid RFID can be used for toll transaction. The CSU is used to keep the track of transaction and also to declare that whether vehicle is valid or invalid based on black list of vehicle store in data base. It is CSU which sends message to TCU that vehicle is allowed to pass or not. Once the transaction of toll payment is completed the information is send on user mobile application. The mobile application is use to deposit the amount in user account through online banking.
