Most countries use either the toll booth system or the RFID tag and scanner method. Recent studies have shown that not only does traffic congestion but also slow traffic or delay at toll booths also cost the country a lot of resources and indirectly money. The methods currently in place are neither efficient nor cost effective. In this paper, a new method of tolling is introduced which uses Arduino and is a much more cost effective method.
message is sent to the user notifying them of the deduction.
2. LITERATURE SURVEY [1]. RFID-based automated tollbooth system In this paper, each vehicle is installed with a passive RFID tag. When the vehicle enters the tollbooth, the tag is scanned using the RFID scanner. Once scanned, the system checks to see if the vehicle is present in the database. Once the details of account are available, the required amount is deducted from the user’s account automatically.

1.INTRODUCTION
[2]. Smart highway electronic toll collection system Paying toll is something that every vehicle owner would have done at some point in their lives. One of the most well-known and widely used methods is the one using the toll booth. Though this method is extremely simple, it is very inefficient as it requires the owner to keep ready an exact amount or wait for the official at the booth to give them change. The other method which is popular is tolling through the use of RFID scanner and tag. Even though this is an improvement over the toll booth system, it is not very cost effective. Recent studies have shown that in India, delays at toll booths can cost the country up to Rs.60000 crore per annum. With the increased development in highways and the number of vehicles on the road, the number of toll booths required is increasing every year. Though the number of vehicles on road have increased each year, the number of vehicles paying toll has either remained same or increased only by a little which proves to be a loss to the government. The government is, therefore, willing to pay Rs.14000 crore every year to stop this tolling system. In this paper, we propose a new type of tolling that minimizes the need for toll booths and also helps to reduce slow traffic by a little. The proposed system contains Arduino which takes the signal coming from GPS module and checks if the user has entered a specified range. This range is marked in the system using its latitude and longitude coordinates. If so, credits are deducted from the user’s account and a

This research paper describes the automated toll collection system for toll gate based on RFID technology. There are three portions in toll collection system. They are RFID system, balance deduction system in host computer and toll gate control system. The microcontroller is also used to control the stepper motor and display the deposit on the LCD. The authorized person at the toll gate can check the ID numbers, vehicle numbers and the amount of balance with the database on PC. The new user can register and update the amount of balance via Graphical User Interface (GUI) easily. A number of deposits will also update simultaneously at the two databases of the toll gate because of LAN network. By using this system, it will save time, i.e. by avoiding long queue as no need to stop the vehicle and no need of manual transaction at the toll gate. [3] High-Performance license plate recognition system The license plate recognition (LPR) system is one kind of Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and is of considerable interest because of its potential applications in such areas as highway electronic toll collection, redlight violation enforcement, secure-access control at parking lots and so on. The paper introduces the system framework and work flow of LPR system which works based on web technique
