As we all aware that development of a country depends upon its basic infrastructure. An express highway, for physical movement, is one of them. But we experience a long queue at each toll plazas on expressway which wastes a lot of journey time, fuel and emissions of co2. In this research project we will examine the image of the number plate & class of vehicle, the respective information will be processed for toll collection system, to make more efficient and perfect. As of now, at each toll both the vehicle has to stop for paying the toll. We are trying to develop a system that would pay the toll automatically and reduce the queue at the toll booth.
For the purpose of auto system, the image of the vehicle number plate and its class is important. In this system a high resolution camera is used for capturing the image of the vehicle number plate. The captured image would be converted into the text using ANPR and the toll would be cut from the customer's account
and then open the gate.
At the same time, while passing the vehicle through the toll plaza, a tracking system will be activated for the theft vehicles. If the vehicle is stolen and an entry is being made in the central database by the police, a silent alarm would buzz which would indicate the operator at the toll booth that the vehicle is a stolen vehicle.
For the identification, the information of the vehicles, registered against the number plate, stored on the central database, through the RTO will be used for verification. So for this purpose the captured number will be sent to the server received at the toll.
