Automatic Toll Collection Using OCR Technique

Abstract

Toll Collection in India is a matter of concern as the toll checkpoints are hotbeds of corruption. The purpose of this project is to propose a technique where collection of tolls can be done electronically using image processing technique where we can detect the vehicle and thereby deduct the toll amount. Using this technique we can make an attempt to eradicate corruption from toll checkpoints in India. The current scenario is that the vehicle needs to slow down at the toll collection area in order to pay the amount which leads to traffic problem and sometimes the toll collector doesn�t collect the toll fee from the owner. So the proposed technique will maintain all the records of the toll collected as there is no physical cash involved in this technique.
