As transportation is said to be the backbone of any country’s economy, India has made dozens of trials in improving the same. The improvement in transportation includes the proper and dedicated source of funding for highway infrastructure. Though various models have been proposed, the very existence of the toll booth is questioned now. One of the main objectives of the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) is maintaining traffic efficiency with constant development and economic growth. This involves traffic management that in turn improves the mobility of people on the road. The toll collection is made to compensate for the investment made on the infrastructure from the people using it. Considering the Indian scenario, the uniformity in cost collection is disrupted frequently. A system that enables road users to pay the toll fees without stopping or slowing down is proposed. The characters of the number plate are segmented by CCA and ratio analysis as well. Comparison techniques such as SVC (linear) help the system to detect well under dim light, over-exposed images and those in which the vehicle is angled.The serial monitor is used for displaying the particular authority of the vehicle and the license plate number, the GSM module is used for sending the alert messages to the particular authority. Depending upon the predicted vehicle, the amount will be deducted through a uniquely assigned RFID reader in the vehicle. When the vehicle crosses the toll zone without paying, the user is alerted immediately. In this way, the proposed system helps in a cashless and contactless payment without waiting time.
