IoT BASED TOLL BOOTH MANAGER

There are thousands of vehicles on road these days and managing these multiple vehicles at a toll booth at the same time is a very difficult job to be done. At present, the manual toll system is very inefficient and very time-consuming. Due to this, there are traffic jams, fights, exchanges of words also. The system proposed is completely managed on the ‘Internet of Things’ concept based on RFID technology. The Internet server will store all the users ' required data and their card balance. When the car driver will arrive at the toll booth, the system at the toll booth will scan the card. The system then connects to the online server to check the validation of the card, if the card is valid and will be having sufficient funds then the particular amount will get deduced from the card. The system operates a motor to open the toll gate for a car to pass on deduction of the card balance. The entire system uses a microcontroller to achieve this purpose. The WiFi connection connects to the internet through which the system interacts for online verification. Additionally, all the data of the vehicles passed will get stored for later reference. Thus, the system automates the entire process of the toll booth and terminates the present process of the toll booth collection system.

A Toll Booth on the Mersey

This chapter describes how the raw cotton trade was financed, before showing that – despite a drastically reduced volume – the vast rise in price meant that the value of raw cotton imports was greater than at any time in the 19th century and, in terms of the cotton traded, possibly the greatest ever. The implications for the earnings of the cotton brokers are demonstrated, together with the fury in Manchester that Liverpool was enriching itself while the rest of the industry starved. Two elements of Thomas Ellison’s etiquette are considered: that cotton brokers were not simultaneously buying and selling brokers, and that they did not trade cotton on their own account. Evidence is produced to suggest that both contentions are false. The chapter shows how cotton speculation infested the market during the war, but also how the spinners were implicated in it themselves. It concludes with the conflict that erupted towards the end of the war between the Liverpool Cotton Brokers’ Association and the Cotton Spinners’ Association, led by Hugh Mason.

Enhancement of Toll Plaza System With Smart Features

This chapter aims to solve the problem of heavy traffic caused due to a long queue near the toll plaza. The authors design the website with the motive that it will save the maximum time of the public, reducing the problem of heavy traffic. Moreover, the website maintains the entire database containing the details of the staff, pass, receipts, vehicle details, etc., which will reduce any problem in the future. Since they are also aware of the fact that in many villages in India, there are not even proper toll booths to pay taxes, and people are doing it manually, which can result in data loss and even is time-consuming. So, keeping this mind, they aim to design the website that is simple to use such that every people working in toll booth can get habituated to it easily. They also aim to make this website fully secure such that data can be protected and citizens are comfortable providing their details to create their pass and generate receipts. The main feature is that users can also generate receipt for themselves from anywhere through website to avoid waste of time at toll.

Assessing the Environmental and Economic Footprint of Electronic Toll Collection Lanes: A Simulation Study

Electronic toll collection (ETC) plays, as part of transport demand management (TDM) measures, an important role in preventing traffic congestion and improving the environmental conditions in urban and rural areas. An attempt is made in the framework of this paper to evaluate the overall performance of a toll station when a lane is dedicated to ETC. The case study refers to a toll station in the Thessaloniki Metropolitan Area, Greece. Scenarios considered specific traffic characteristics, variable toll booth setups, and different penetration rates of the ETC tag users for car and heavy vehicles. The tool used in the evaluation process was the PTV Vissim traffic simulation software. The operation of the toll station during a specific peak-hour period was simulated with the aid of the specific software. In total, 39 alternative scenarios were developed and compared to determine the level of penetration rate for which the ETC lane would be effective for different toll booth setups. Results showed that when the right lane of the toll station is converted to ETC lane, the penetration rate of this lane must be greater the 15% for the private vehicles and 20% for the heavy goods vehicles (HGV) to reduce traffic congestion and to improve environmental conditions. It was also found that when an additional ETC lane was introduced to the existing toll station set up, traffic congestion and the associated environmental conditions were much improved even for low penetration rates. It must be noticed that the results from the use of discounted cash flow methods like internal rate of return (IRR), net present value (NPV) and benefit–cost ratio (BCR) showed that all economic indicators converge as penetration rate increases in all toll booth setups. Therefore, there is a specific penetration rate threshold above which the economic viability of the investment is secured. These findings can assist the design of an effective policy in terms of the optimized operation of a toll station and sustainable mobility planning.

Toll and Traffic Management System for Express Highways

Now a days, toll plazas at the highways are operated manually, where a vehicle comes near the toll booth and toll collector collects the cash and enter the vehicle data and provides a receipt. Manually operated Toll Plaza Systems leads to longer waiting time of vehicles and heavy traffic at the highways. To overcome this issue of traffic congestion and time management and to bring automation in the toll management system, we have introduced an innovative, optimized and revolutionary system. This paper is putting forward an efficient and cost-effective technique of automatic toll collection. The system is based on the mobile GPS network and will use various APIs for development. The cost to be paid at the toll gate is auto decided as per the government limits and the toll booth charges. System will use online payment gateways to collect those revenues. If the balance is low in the user’s account then it can be recharged at the booth itself. At the user’s end, If the toll tax payment is delayed by certain timeline then user will be informed by an alert message and if delay still exists then strict actions will be imposed along with proper penalty charges for the same. This system is the novelty to the existing toll system. It will have a wide impact on people's life as its scope will lead to safe and enhanced productivity through the use of advanced technologies. This will also minimize fraud and will provide user convenience. It will also enhance the operational efficiency of toll collector.

Analysis Of Toll Gate Traffic Delay Time Using E-Toll System On Waru-Juanda Toll Road

Currently the traffic on the highway is getting crowded, because it filled with so many four-wheeled vehicles. To reduce congestion at the highway then be made to the motorway. But the government's efforts to maximize the use of toll roads to minimize congestion in fact, has not run optimally for payments using the system to pay cash (cash) is less effective. In 2017 PT. Margatama image Surabaya implement E-Toll at the toll booth Waru - Juanda. To find out how the effectiveness of the use of E-Toll system was conducted research to analyze traffic toll gate delay time with the e-toll system on toll roads hibiscus - juanda. Collecting data in this study conducted on Friday at 4:00 p.m. to 20:00 pm and is located at the toll gate Menanggal. The variables used were manual payment system / cash and payment systems using E-toll by noting the number of vehicles entering the toll gate along with the time needed to conduct transactions at toll booths. From the research conducted, the average time delay that is required at the time for using the E-Toll Card was 13.6 seconds / transaction so that they result in queues at toll gates. From these results it can be concluded that the use of E-Toll card is still not effective in reducing congestion at toll booths. The average time delay that is required at the time for using the E-Toll Card was 13.6 seconds / transaction so that they result in queues at toll gates. From these results it can be concluded that the use of E-Toll card is still not effective in reducing congestion at toll booths. The average time delay that is required at the time for using the E-Toll Card was 13.6 seconds / transaction so that they result in queues at toll gates. From these results it can be concluded that the use of E-Toll card is still not effective in reducing congestion at toll booths.

Smart Toll Payment System Using Android Applications

Today, due the increase in the vehicles, there is a lot of gathering of the traffic at the booths. The main reason for this traffic at the tollbooths is due the manual working of the toll tax collection the booths. Each vehicle on average need to stop at the booth for about a 2 minutes for the payment of the toll taxs. In order to decrease this traffic and time consistency we are coming up with an nobel idea based on Android app communication. In this application we will have three modules Admin, Tollgate, and Client. In which admin will verify the tollgater with his/her detail, clients get registered in this app and pay his /her tollgate payments which decreases the manual work and hence increases the vehicle speed passing by the toll booth. Also it allows the vehicles just to pass through the booth by just showing the QR code. This result reducing the traffic pattern at the toll collecting booths.
