Abstract:
This paper focuses on a smart toll collection (STCS) system based on non-contact BLE (Bluetooth low energy) technology specially designed for Bangladesh. A lots of river bridges, flyovers and Asian highways passes all over the Bangladesh. Governments need to collect the toll (a charge payable to use a bridge or road) from drivers/passengers who are using those bridges, flyovers and highways, for further development of the country. Two types of toll collection system, such as manual and computerized, exits in Bangladesh. Both system requires human operator for toll collection, which is more or less time consuming process. With this respect, a smart (fully automated) toll collection system is proposed throughout this paper. The conceptual design along with prototype implementation are elaborated in this paper.
