Design and Development of Vehicle Detection and Payment System Using RFID Technology: A case of Addis Abeba to Adama Expressway

Abstract

Due To The Manual Working Nowadays There Is A Large Amount Of Rush At Tulu Dimtu Main Toll Plaza At Addis Abeba To Adama Expressway. Each Vehicle On An Average Needs To Stop At The Toll Booth For About 28 To 30 Seconds To Pay The Toll. The Average Transaction Time Was An Average Of 29.8 Seconds. This Leads The Vehicle To Conjugate, And To Waste Fuel And Time. Two Approaches Were Subjected To Analysis- The Manual Toll System And The Designed Automated Toll Systems. The Quantitative Approach Was Employed In The Study: The Service Level, Queue Length, And Performance Capacity Were Calculated. The Capacity Of The Existing System Was 121 Vehicles Per Hour And The Average Queue Was 8.2 Vehicles. Due To The Delay Time Analysis Of The Wasted Fuel At The Toll Plaza On Average Is About 5,067,886,300 Etb Birr Per Year Was Found. Based On A Review Of The Literature On Vehicle Detection, This Study Explains More About The Finding Of The Vehicle's Unique Identification Number On The Embedded Tag With The Help Of A Microcontroller. The System Uses An Rfid Tag That Is Adhered To Underneath The Chassis Of The Vehicles, Through Which All The Vehicle Information And Data Are Embedded That Is Read By The Antenna Deliberately Placed On The Asphalt Near To The Tollgate. Radiofrequency Identification And Detection Is A Technology That Uses Communication Via Electromagnetic Waves To Exchange Data Between Antenna And Tag Attached To The Vehicle. Each Vehicle Will Be Provided With An Rfid Tag That Has Stored The Vehicle's Unique Id And Related Information. The Purpose Of This Thesis Work Is To Improve The Service Level Capacity Of The Existing System By Designing An Automatic Vehicle Detection System At A Toll Plaza Using Rfid With C Programming Software. To Prepare The Prototype Microcontroller, The Gsm Module, Passive Rfid Tag, And Servo Sg90 And To Design An Electrical Circuit Diagram Proteus Design Suite 8.10 Demonstration Software Was Carefully Chosen. On These Bases, It Is Recommended That Applying The Automated System As A Key Factor To Increase The Toll Capacity. Further Research Is Needed To Identify Other Factors That Could Strengthen The Effectiveness Of Etc.
