CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

In today's world, toll taxes are an essential part of road infrastructure, which helps in
maintaining and constructing new roads. However, the traditional toll tax system can be slow
and inefficient, leading to long waiting times and traffic congestion. To overcome these
issues, a new toll tax system can be developed using modern technology such as Arduino,
Ultrasonic Sensors, and Servo Motors.

The proposed toll tax system will use an Arduino microcontroller to control the operation of
an Ultrasonic Sensor and Servo Motor. The Ultrasonic Sensor will be used to detect the
presence of a vehicle, and the Servo Motor will be used to raise and lower the toll gate.

This new toll tax system will be faster and more efficient, leading to reduced waiting times
and traffic congestion. It will also be more accurate, preventing vehicles from evading the toll
tax. Furthermore, the proposed system will be cost-effective and easy to maintain.

The purpose of this project is to design and implement a toll tax system using Arduino,
Ultrasonic Sensors, and Servo Motors. This project will demonstrate the feasibility and
effectiveness of using modern technology to improve traditional toll tax systems.

In the following chapters, we will discuss the requirements, methodology, theoretical

analysis, simulation and results, hardware implementation, conclusion, and future scope of
the project.

CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE SURVEY

The concept of toll collection dates back to the Roman Empire, where traveller’s had to pay
for using the road network. In modern times, toll collection systems have become an essential
part of road infrastructure, especially in developing countries. Traditional toll collection
systems involve manual collection of tolls, leading to long waiting times and traffic
congestion.

In recent years, modern technology such as RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) and GPS
(Global Positioning System) has been used to automate toll collection systems. However,
these systems can be expensive and difficult to maintain.

Arduino-based toll collection systems have gained popularity due to their simplicity, cost-
effectiveness, and ease of maintenance. Various studies have been conducted to develop and
implement Arduino-based toll collection systems.

One such study conducted by authors A. Joshi and M. Dongare developed an Arduino-based
toll collection system using RFID technology. The system was designed to identify vehicles
using RFID tags and deduct toll charges automatically. The study concluded that the system
was efficient, accurate, and cost-effective.

Another study conducted by authors R. Khandelwal and S. Jaiswal developed an Arduino-

based toll collection system using Ultrasonic Sensors and Servo Motors. The system was
designed to detect the presence of a vehicle using Ultrasonic Sensors and raise and lower the
toll gate using Servo Motors. The study concluded that the system was efficient, accurate,
and easy to maintain.

The literature survey shows that Arduino-based toll collection systems are an effective and
cost-effective solution to improve traditional toll collection systems. The proposed system
using Ultrasonic Sensors and Servo Motors is a viable solution to improve traditional toll tax
systems.

4.3 Theoretical Analysis

The theoretical analysis involves analyzing the system's behavior and performance under
different conditions. The following factors were considered:

1. Distance measurement accuracy of the Ultrasonic Sensor

2. Maximum load capacity of the Servo Motor
3. Response time of the system

The Ultrasonic Sensor has an accuracy of 0.3 cm, which is sufficient for measuring the
distance of a vehicle from the toll gate. The Servo Motor used in the system has a maximum
load capacity of 2 kg, which is sufficient for raising and lowering the toll gate. The response
time of the system is less than 500 MS, which is fast enough to handle multiple vehicles
simultaneously.

4.4 Simulation

The simulation involves testing the system's behavior and performance using simulation
software. The simulation was performed using Proteus software. The system was tested for
various scenarios, such as a single vehicle passing through the toll gate and multiple vehicles
passing through the toll gate simultaneously.

Chapter 5: Theoretical Analysis

Theoretical analysis is an essential part of developing any system, as it helps identify
potential issues and improves the system's performance. In this chapter, we will discuss the
theoretical analysis of the Toll Tax System using Arduino, Ultrasonic Sensor, and Servo
Motor.

11
5.1 Distance Measurement Accuracy

The Ultrasonic Sensor is used in the Toll Tax System to measure the distance between the
vehicle and the toll gate. The accuracy of the distance measurement is crucial to ensure that
the toll gate is raised and lowered at the appropriate time. The Ultrasonic Sensor has an
accuracy of 0.3 cm, which is sufficient for measuring the distance of a vehicle from the toll
gate.

5.2 Load Capacity

The Servo Motor is used in the Toll Tax System to raise and lower the toll gate. The load
capacity of the Servo Motor is crucial to ensure that it can handle the weight of the toll gate.
The Servo Motor used in the system has a maximum load capacity of 2 kg, which is sufficient
for raising and lowering the toll gate.

5.3 Response Time

The response time of the system is critical to ensure that the toll gate is raised and lowered
quickly and efficiently. The response time of the system includes the time taken by the
Ultrasonic Sensor to measure the distance, the time taken by the Arduino to process the data
and control the Servo Motor, and the time taken by the Servo Motor to raise and lower the
toll gate.

The response time of the system was tested using simulation software and was found to be
less than 500 Ms. This response time is fast enough to handle multiple vehicles passing
through the toll gate simultaneously.

5.4 Power Supply

The power supply is crucial for the system to function correctly. The Arduino UNO board
and the Ultrasonic Sensor require a power supply of 5V, while the Servo Motor requires a
power supply of 6V. A power supply with sufficient current capacity is required to power all
the components of the system.

5.5 Cost

The cost of the components used in the system is essential to ensure that the system is
affordable and cost-effective. The cost of the Arduino UNO board, Ultrasonic Sensor, and
Servo Motor is reasonable, making the Toll Tax System using Arduino, Ultrasonic Sensor,
and Servo Motor an affordable and cost-effective solution for toll collection.

In summary, the theoretical analysis of the Toll Tax System using Arduino, Ultrasonic
Sensor, and Servo Motor shows that the system is efficient, accurate, and cost-effective. The
system has a fast response time, can handle multiple vehicles simultaneously, and is suitable
for toll collection.

toll gate is raised and lowered at the appropriate time. The simulation was also used to test
the accuracy of the distance measurement by the Ultrasonic Sensor.

The simulation results show that the Toll Tax System using Arduino, Ultrasonic Sensor, and
Servo Motor has a fast response time, and the toll gate is raised and lowered at the
appropriate time. The accuracy of the distance measurement by the Ultrasonic Sensor was
also found to be satisfactory.

6.3 Limitations of the Simulation

The simulation results are based on ideal conditions and may differ from the actual
performance of the system in real-world conditions. The simulation does not take into
account factors such as environmental conditions, vehicle speed, and traffic congestion,
which may affect the system's performance.

6.4 Future Work
