Theft Detection and Location Tracking in Electronic Toll Collection System Using RFID and AES Algorithm

Abstract

Typical methods for collecting tolls are manual collection, automatic toll collection via coin machines and Electronic Toll collection System. The existing toll collection system all over India is operated manually. A toll system is the place where toll is paid for passage of a vehicle from the toll plaza. In the existing toll collection system there are limitations like mismanagement of time, long queue for the payment. The aim of the project is to implement toll collection system using RFID technology to overcome demerits of existing toll system. This paper mainly focused on how the electronic toll collection system reduces manual work load using RFID technology. Ultimately, this system reduces environment pollution due to the burning of fuel as well as reduces the waiting time of users in toll queue. User can access the toll collection system webpage and may perform their money transaction from any location. Their transaction will reflect in the centralized database. Due to the use of online transaction, users do not need to carry cash with them and this leads to reduction of human error occurring at the toll booths. Also the police admin can add the theft car details and this tollgate system will block the vehicles which are added by police admin. The cloud data will gets encrypted and decrypted using AES algorithm.
