STOLEN VEHICLE DETECTION AND AUTOMATED TOLL COLLECTION SYSTEM USING QR CODE

Abstract

Road transportation is the backbone of any country’s economy. Improvement in transportation will lead to
lifestyle characterized by extraordinary moments of people, immense trade in manufactured of good. Developing
countries like India needs a significant improvement in infrastructure such as Roads or Highways. Construction of
these highways is a costly affair, which can't be invested by the government alone. Normally Public private
partnerships are made to construct such a huge projects. The money spent on these projects can be regained by
collecting toll from the passengers who use the roads. The toll collection system, especially in India faces some
problems such as long queue lines, escaping from toll plazas etc. These systems can service only 300 vehicles per
hour, and if more than that number of vehicles arrive at that plaza, server traffic jams may occur. [1]
With the increase in the number of vehicles on road, there has been a marked increase in the number of crimes
involving vehicle theft. In spite of several stringent laws being in place and security measures taken by car
manufacturers, thieves still find a way to remain one step ahead and vehicle theft is still among one of the most
reported crimes worldwide. Due to the expensive nature of motor vehicles, there is ample incentive for petty thieves to
attempt thefts.[2]
Manual toll collection system contain many drawbacks, like it needs collector to collect the amount at a toll booth,
delay in time, traffic congestion, more fuel consumption, longer queue of traffic. To solve these problem we propose
QR Code base toll collection system. QR Code is generated at the time of registration of vehicle in our proposed
system. On toll collection booth we collect toll as well as identify vehicle is stolen or not. Propose toll collection system
is cost effective, it provides better experience to peoples, less delay of time, shorter queue of traffic, less fuel
consumption.
