Abstract: Automated Toll Collection System has gained significant momentum in recent years due to its ability to streamline and optimize toll payment processing for highways and bridges. This advanced system utilizes Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to accurately track vehicle locations and enable electronic toll collection without manual transactions. The system boasts high accuracy, offering customization to accommodate different vehicle types and toll fees. It is also highly flexible and scalable, making it capable of adjusting to fluctuating traffic volumes and changing toll rates. In this system, a GPS device is installed on the vehicle, which communicates with a centralized server. This server calculates the toll based on the real-time distance travelled by the vehicle using the Haversine formula. The toll is then automatically deducted from a pre-loaded digital wallet or charged to a designated seamless payment gateway linked to the vehicle owner’s account. By eliminating the need for cash transactions and toll booth stoppages, this system offers improved convenience for drivers, reduces traffic congestion, and contributes to lower environmental impact compared to traditional toll collection methods. Embracing this technology has the potential to revolutionize toll management and enhance overall transportation efficiency, improving user experience and reducing delays.
