Raspberry Pi Image Processing based Economical Automated Toll System
The highway toll system has already been developed and widely used in many developed countries. But most of them use Radio Frequency ID. In developing countries RFID for each car does not exist. And using RFID is still a costly solution. Some of the developing countries use image processing technique to detect license plate for auto toll system. But the problem is not solved yet due to high price of host device (e.g. computer) to run. Implementation of image processed toll systems are only limited in some places. Keeping these problems in mind we have developed this project where raspberry pi will be used as host. This minicomputer has the ability of image processing and control a complete toll system. A camera will be used to take picture of the vehicle’s name plate to sort the toll charge according to vehicles category. Along with multiple automatic tolls taking booth there will be a manual booth with operator also who will handle those vehicles which experience issues with any of the automatic toll taking booth.
