INTRODUCTION
Our life is changing very fast and the role of automation in our day to
day life is increasing at a very fast rate. This is the motive behind our project
i.e. “Automation”. Day by day the number of vehicles passing over the road is
increasing due to which the road condition is decaying rapidly. The
government sponsors the price of road construction and road maintenance.
The government has some source of money to build and maintain these roads
& this source is the Toll Station.
At the onset, the goal of our project group was to design an Automatic
tolling system for collecting toll. After studying various techniques like
weight-based systems, bar coding etc. we chose Radio frequency
identification, which is an emerging technology applied for tracking and
communication. RFID (Radio frequency Identification) is an area of automatic
identification that has quickly been gaining momentum in recent years and has
now being seen as a radical means of enhancing data handling processes,
complimentary in many ways to other data capture technologies such as bar
coding.
In today’s era of technology, where machines are being extensively
used in all the fields we are trying to emulate concept, which will be of great
use in public transport systems. Today a person has to travel long distances
into vastly unknown territories for job, business, or even for tourism. As the
vehicles are increasing and roads are falling short, nowadays we see
frequently traffic jams or long queues at the toll stations waiting for paying the
toll. Paying the toll every-time through cash or checking the pass takes a lot of
12
Pc based automatic toll station
time. And today Time is more precious than money. Therefore our project is
aimed at reducing time consumed for manual transactions and human effort.
The concept of Toll Station
A toll road, also known as a toll way, turnpike, pike or toll pike, is a
road for which a driver pays a toll (that is a fee) for use. Similarly there are
toll bridges and toll tunnels. Non-toll roads are financed using other sources of
revenue, most typically gasoline tax or general tax funds. Tolls have been
placed on roads at various times in history, often to generate funds for
repayment of toll revenue bonds used to finance constructions and operation.
The building or facility where a toll is collected may be called a toll booth, toll
plaza, toll station, or toll gate.
What is a Toll Station?
Two variations of toll roads exist, barrier (mainline) toll plazas and
entry/exit tolls. On a mainline toll system, all vehicles stop at various locations
along the highway to pay a toll.
While this may save money from the lack of need to construct tolls at
every exit, it can cause lots of traffic congestion, and drivers could evade tolls
by going through them as the exits do not have gates. With entry/exit tolls,
vehicles collect a ticket when entering the highway, which displays the fares it
will pay when it exits, increasing in cost for distance traveled. Upon exit, the
driver will pay the amount listed for the given exit. Should the ticket indicate a
traveling violation or be lost, the driver would typically pay the maximum
amount possible for traveling on that highway. Modern toll roads often use a
combination of the two, with various entry and exit tolls supplemented by
occasional mainline tolls.

History of Toll Roads!
Aristotle and Pliny refer to tolls in Arabia and other parts of Asia. In
India, before the 4th century BC the Arthashastra notes the use of tolls.
Germanic tribes charged tolls to travelers across mountain passes. Tolls were
used in the Holy Roman Empire in the 14th Century and the 15th Century.
A good example in the 14th century would be Castle Lowenstein in the
Netherlands, which was built at a strategic point where 2 rivers met, and
charged tolls to boats sailing the river.
Many modern European roads were originally constructed as toll roads
in order to recover the costs of construction. Turnpike trusts were established
in England beginning in 1706. A good example is the A5 road in the UK,
originally constructed as a toll road in the 18th century.
Modernization!!!
Here’s a report from SUN Microsystems, how the RFID
based toll stations have changed the way toll is collected,
“Intelligent Traffic System Alleviates Congestion for Londoners-
U.K. officials tackles a widespread problem with innovative solutions like
radio frequency identification and a charging scheme in London's city
center.”
On the streets of many cities, cars don't move much faster than their
parked brethren. These endless traffic jams lead to blaring horns, flaring
tempers, missed meetings, and an eroding quality of life as noise and pollution
increase.
The solution however, doesn't require a return to the horse and carriage.
Instead, intelligent traffic systems will manage traffic flow, encourage drivers
to use alternate forms of transport, and even enable people to find the services
14
Pc based automatic toll station
and information they need to drive safely, avoid traffic jams, and perform their
daily routine with fewer hassles.
Some of this technology is now under development at Sun
Microsystems new Traffic Systems Division in the United Kingdom. The
Traffic Systems group will work with Sun's partners and customers on the
development of solutions for traffic management that utilize network-centric
and emerging Internet-based technologies, such as radio frequency
identification (RFID), sensor networks, and Java Card technology.
"Traffic is a problem in all of the major cities around the world. Traffic
problems such as pollution, delays, and congestion have large-scale
environmental, safety, and business costs" says Tempest-Mitchell MD of Sun
Microsystems.
"The need for traffic management is easy to prove. Until now,
administrations have only had very blunt instruments with which to enforce
the policies and controls that can solve some of our traffic problems. But now,
as in London, we're starting to see working examples of sophisticated traffic
technology proving its merit."
London's Radical Solution:
In the winter of 2003, the city of London combined innovative
technology and tolls to combat its overcrowded city streets. Under the
Congestion Zone Charging scheme, drivers are charged £5 (about $8) each
day that they operate a vehicle in the city's center.
Congestion Zone Charging aims to encourage people to use public
transportation, bicycles or motorcycles (neither pay a fee), or even cleaner
vehicles (certain environment-friendly cars pay lower fees). Drivers can pay
15
Pc based automatic toll station
the fee of the trip, or they can pay for up to an entire year in advance; much of
the revenue is reinvested in public transport.
An automatic number plate-recognition system uses fixed cameras at
the entries to the congestion zone and mobile cameras inside the zone to
enforce fee payment, explains Tempest-Mitchell. He notes that Sun hardware
and software systems play a central role in London's solution.
The city has been pleased with the results, according to London's mayor
Ken Livingstone.
"Congestion charging was a radical solution to a long-standing
problem," Livingstone said in a February 2004 press release. Before the
introduction of the charge, London's clogged roads hurt businesses in a variety
of ways: delays in product delivery, higher fees for deliveries due to extra
hours for delayed drivers, and loss of employee hours. In addition, many
potential shoppers avoided the city center due to congestion.
"The scheme has made a real difference in getting London moving again.
Fewer vehicles in the zone, coupled with improved bus services and faster,
more reliable vehicle journeys, make London a far better place to work, live,
and visit. Despite the dire predictions before the launch of the scheme,
congestion charging has proved a success, and that is why nearly three
quarters of Londoners now support the scheme—because it works."

‘ Coming soon to a City near You’
“Future traffic control systems will be increasingly intelligent. In
addition to handling traffic flow, the systems will also provide valuable
services to citizens, such as sending traffic and construction alerts on request,
locating parked or stolen vehicles, and pointing out the closest gas station,
bank, or shop”, says Tempest-Mitchell.
At the heart of many such advanced systems will be RFID tags, tiny
microchips with radio transmitters that can be attached to plastic or paper tags
or cards.
The chips store data about the tagged object and act as transponders that
relay information to an RFID reader. RFID systems make stored data instantly
accessible to authorized users and can also track the movements and report the
locations of people and things within a specified area. As many government
officials have noticed, RFID is ideal for use in traffic control systems.
"Ideas similar to London's Congestion Charging scheme, but based on
RFID technology, are under consideration in many more U.K. cities—most
notably in Edinburgh", says Tempest-Mitchell. "And cities throughout Europe
with similar congestion problems are now also beginning to consider RFID-
based charging schemes."
RFID-based toll collections are already in use. Cars traveling from Kent
to Essex through the United Kingdom's Dart ford Tunnel, for example, can use
a prepaid RFID-enabled card called the Dart-Tag, which is used to make 15
percent of the tunnel's 46 million annual toll payments, Tempest-Mitchell
says. "Of 17,000 tollgates worldwide, 36 percent are already enabled with
RFID-based automatic payment technologies."
17
Pc based automatic toll station
Non-RFID toll collection systems typically use manned or automated
booths to collect revenue, but the booths can increase congestion and reduce
throughput to a resource such as a bridge or toll road, says retired city planner
Alex Pisa rack.
"RFID will become the technology solution of choice in traffic schemes
because it can keep traffic flowing, accurately collect tolls, and reduce the cost
of toll collection," says Pisa rack.

INTRODUCTION TO RFID
The goal of our project group was to design the replica of an enlarged
version of the RFID toll station for automating the process of toll collection.
After studying various techniques like GPS, bar-coding etc, which are also
techniques of collecting toll at the cost of huge capital investments; we stuck
upon Radio Frequency Identification, an emerging technology applied for
tracking and communication.
What is RFID?
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) means providing electronic
identity to any object. Electronic information about the object is stored in
RFID chip embedded or attached to the object. It’s an area of automation
which has quickly been gaining momentum in recent years and is now being
seen as a radical means of enhancing data handling processes, complementary
in many ways to other data capturing technologies such as bar-coding. A range
of devices and associated systems are available to satisfy even broader range
of applications which will change the course of industry particularly in the
supply-chain area.
The objective of any RFID system is to carry data in suitable
transponders, generally known as tags, and to retrieve data, by machine at a
suitable time and place to satisfy particular needs. Data within a tag may
provide identification for an item in manufacturing, goods in transit, or the
identity of a vehicle. By including additional data the prospect is provided for
supporting applications through item specific information or instructions
immediately available on reading the tag. With an RFID reader, the electronic
identity (code in the form of several bits) can be read wirelessly. This is where
20
Pc based automatic toll station
RFID differs from other e-tagging technologies such as bar-coding which use
optical recognition. Since RFID uses radio waves, it does not require any line
of sight.
Transponder:
A transponder is generally known as RFID tags stores the data
according to the application and are available in a variety of shapes and sizes
according to the application. RFID tags are mainly classified in two
categories:
Active tags:
Active tags are powered by an internal battery and typically read/write,
i.e. tag can be rewritten and/or modified. Active RFID are designed to
actively transmit the data to the reader using the power of a battery
attached to the tag. The radio frequency received from the Transreceiver is
used for communication only.
Passive tags:
Operates without external power source and obtain the operating
power from the reader. Passive tags are consequently much lighter than
the active tags. They offer a virtually unlimited operational lifetime. They
are designed to transmit the data by reflecting or backscattering, the RF
energy back to the reader. No battery is required to read the data that has
been stored on the RFID tag. The receiver becomes both communication
device and provides energy for the tags.
21
Pc based automatic toll station
ADVANTAGES OF RFID:
RFID functions through both natural and man-made metallic materials.
RFID allows flexible tag placement and can be embedded into an
object. It reads changes or adds information to a tag at any user read
point.
RFID stored information can be protected with a range of security
options.
RFID tags can be rewritten repeatedly or used for permanent data
retention.
RFID provides an extra level of information in some cases as RFID tags
can be programmed more than once.
The ability to read multiple items simultaneously, to read and write
information etc, and a whole new layer to AIDC (AUTO
IDENTIFICATION AND DATA CAPTURE).
EDGE OVER BAR CODES:
A scanner has to see the bar code to read it, which means people usually
have to orient the bar code towards the scanner for it to be read. Since tags do
not require any line of sight, they can be read as long as they are within the
range of the reader. Within the field of the wireless reading device, it is
possible to automatically read hundreds of tags in a second. Bar codes have
other short comings as well. If a label bearing a bar code is ripped off or gets
spoiled or fallen off, there is no way to scan the item. This is where RFID
takes over bar code.
22
Pc based automatic toll station
LIMITATIONS OF RFID:
Price factor.
APPLICATIONS OF RFID:
Customized RFID solutions are now available for all applications.
Prisoners in certain ways are tagged to prevent violent behavior and
possibly their escape.
Petrol stations across America use tracking systems as payment systems
for fuel.
At airport tagged baggage can be easily located even if they are at few
meters away from the wrong conveyer belt.
In Mumbai Marathon for the first time RFID tags were used in a
marathon in Asia to track each competitor and how fast they were
running.

Pc based automatic toll station
WORKING CONCEPT OF OUR PROJECT
In our project, we have a vehicle equipped with RFID tag and computer
connected to Transceiver positioned at the Toll station. Whenever the vehicle
enters into the coverage area of transceiver, it locates the tag and decodes the
code assigned to that particular tag. After receiving the code, it is forwarded
to the computer situated at the Toll station. The computer then recognizes the
code and automatically access the database and if the vehicle has its valid
prepaid account at the toll station, the appropriate toll is deducted from that
account and the gate is opened to allow the vehicle to pass. And if the vehicle
doesn’t have a valid prepaid account or it is not a daily traveler, it will have to
pass through a manual check post which will be in another lane.
By using the database we can avoid necessity to transmit entire data
from tag thus enabling us to use tag with very less memory requirement i.e.
we store only 4 or 6 digit code number in the Tag. And this 4 or 6 digit code
is related to the database which is related to the database which is present on
the computer. Each Tag has different code number. It also reduces error
probability and saves processing time.

This unit has its unique code depending on the type of
vehicle i.e. L.M.V or H.M.V.
2) RFID RECEIVER:
It consists of transmitter & receiver used to detect the
presence of RFID tag in its range. After the presence of RFID tag
is detected the corresponding signal is given to the computer.
3) PC (Connected to receiver & gate control):
PC is placed at a distance from the gate. It does the task
of detecting the signal given by receiver and deducting
corresponding amount from the respective account. After
deducting amount from the respective account it gives the signal
to open the gate. After detecting that vehicle has passed it gives
the signal to close the gate.
4) GATE CONTROL:
It does the task of opening or closing the gate when it
receives the corresponding signal from the computer.

PCB DESIGNING-
PCB for any given type of equipment is very important and so to prepare
the PCB is much more important. For making the PCB, systematic procedure
is given below-
MATERIALS USED FOR PCB:
The base materials used for PCB are paper phenolic which is less
costly and used in consumer electronics circuits. Paper phenol is more
resistant to moisture but difficult to machine and drill as compared to glass
epoxy. Copper foil for copper clad is manufactured by process of slowly
prorating corrosion resistant metal cylinder. Its lower portion is immersed
in a copper rich electrolytic plating bath; a thin copper deposit gradually
builds in form of metal foil. This metal foil then gently pealed off from the
cylinder surface. Ferric Chloride is recommended for etching small
numbers of boards. It is not used in high volume production because it
cannot be regenerated and it attacks metal etch resists.
DESIGNING THE LAYOUT:
While designing a layout, it must be noted that size of the board should be
as small as possible. Before starting, all components should be placed properly
so that an accurate measurement of space can be made. The component should
not be mounted very close to each other or far away from one another and
neither one should ignore the fact that some component need ventilation,
which considerably the dimension of the relay and transformer in view of
arrangement, the bolting arrangement is also considered.
31
Pc based automatic toll station
ARTWORK:
The prototype circuit is initially tested. Location of components is
fixed. Artwork is the drawing, showing conductor pattern on PCB.
After testing the prototype, a rough layout is prepared on a good
millimeter grid graph paper 1:1 size. Artwork of the circuit 1:1 or 2:1
size is prepared on a good quality graph paper using black waterproof
ink. The artwork may also be prepared on transparent paper with
sticking tapes and patterns.
The following points should be considered before preparing artwork:
1. Resistance of printed conductors.
2. Capacitance between conductors.
3. Spacing between conductors.
4. Width of signal, supply and ground lines should be proper.
For photographic reduction process the artwork should provide
maximum contrast between the portions to be etched away and those to
be left. Thus the artwork should be generated on white sheet with black
ink.
PREPARATION OF SINGLE SIDED PCB:
In single sided PCB, the conductor tracks run only on one side of
copper clad board. Thus crossing of conductor is not allowed. Steps in
preparing single sided PCB:
1. Choice of base material.
2. Cleaning of copper clad laminate surface.
3. Application of photo resist material
4. Exposure.
32
Pc based automatic toll station
5. Image development
6. Etching.
7. Mechanical fabrication and baking.
8. Drilling.
After the entire printed circuit board (PCB) is ready, then drilling
must be done at the required points using hand drill or machine drill,
holes are drilled with 1 mm or 0.8 mm drill. After drilling is done, the
Printed Circuit Board is ready for mounting the components on it. The
components must be mounted on the component side of the PCB. The
rules for component mounting must be followed. Then soldering is to
be done on the layout side of PCB considering the various rules for
soldering.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM DESCRIPTION
TRANSMITTER:
We have to transmit code number which is four bit parallel data. For
making it wireless we have to transmit it serially. The main problem of
wireless serial data transmission is synchronization. For error less
transmission of bit pattern synchronization in serial data is necessary. So we
are using 212 series encoder & decoder in which we are having 8 bit address
line and 4 bit data lines. Thus this address line provides us security code &
synchronization.
The wireless module works on high frequency i.e. 315 MHz or 450
MHz having 100 meter range which is capable of transmitting serial data.
These modules are made with SMD (Surface Mount Device) technology
hence they are smaller in size with high efficiency. We get encoders and
decoders in pairs and have to take care to adjust same address lines so that we
get valid data of four bit on which we can connect LED indicator which will
show the status of our code number.
212 series encoder and decoder series IC’s are suitable for digital
transmission. It is having feature of four bit parallel to serial data converter
with eight bit address line for security. It is called as 212 series because it
37
Pc based automatic toll station
converts 12 bit data serially out of which D0 to D3 is data line and A0 to A7
are address line.
Capacitors C9 to C10 of 33pF are used for noise suppression. Pin
No.14 is grounded to make the chip enable. Its serial data out-put is send in air
with the help of 315MHz wireless modules which works on ASK (Amplitude
Shift Keying) principal.
The simplest digital modulation technique is amplitude shift keying,
where binary information directly modulates the amplitude of an analog
carrier. ASK is similar to standard amplitude modulation except there are only
two out-put amplitude possible.
38
Pc based automatic toll station
RECEIVER:
Data transmitted by wireless transmitter module is received by wireless
receiver module serially in the form of ASK. It gives digital output which is
given to 212 series decoder which decodes this data and gives output in four
bits. The received data is compared three times and if its address A0 - A7 is
matched then only data is available on the output so care must be taken for
setting the same address code by the switch. 8 bit DIP switch is connected to
address line. When this switch is ON, address line is zero. Whenever the
address code gets matched then it is called as valid transmission and pin No 17
goes high. This is indicated by an LED which is normally in ON condition if
transmission and reception is normal i.e. receiver is in its range.
We are connecting LED’s with current limiting resistor of 1.2K on the
output of HT 12D which indicates the status of code number.
PC is used to read number received by wireless modules and decode by
212 series decoder. The received input of decoder is 4 bit data and a
synchronization signal which indicates the reception of valid data. We read the
data when this pin goes high. PC printer port can read only five bits and the
received signal is 4 bit data and a synchronization signal of one bit.
The receiver installed in the vehicle will receive this signal when ever it
reaches near the transmitter which is received through printer port and
processed by PC.

POWER SUPPLY:
The performance of the master box depends on the proper functioning
of the power supply unit. The power supply converts not only A.C into D.C,
but also provides o/p voltage of 5volts, 1 amp.
The essential components of the power supply are:
TRANSFOMER:
As name suggests it transforms the voltage level from one level
to another. Transformer used is the step down transformer to step 230 v
to +5v.It provides isolation too from the mains.
RECTIFIER:
The rectifier is used to convert A.C to D.C voltage. The design
that we have carried out is of the full wave rectifier, using 1N4001
diodes. The full wave bridge rectifier has advantage over the full wave
centre tap rectifier like the need for the centre-tapped transformer is
eliminated. The PIV is one half of the centre–tap circuit.
FILTER :
A filter circuit is a device, which removes ac component of
rectified output but allows the dc component to reach the load. The
filter used is a simple capacitor of 100µf/25v.
REGULATOR:
A voltage regulator is a circuit that supplies a constant voltage
regardless of changes in load current. The regulator used in our project
is IC 7805, which is a three terminal voltage regulator. A heat sink is
used, so that the heat produced by the regulator dissipating power has a
larger area from which it can radiate the heat into the air by holding the
case temperature to a much lower value than that which would result
without the heat sink. IC7805 has an internal thermal overload
protection and the internal short circuit current limiting device.
40
Pc based automatic toll station
IC 7805 VOLTAGE REGULATOR:
The 78xx series of three terminal regulators is available with fixed
output voltage making them useful in wide range of applications. One of this
is local regulation, eliminating the distortion problems associated with single
point regulation. The voltage available allows these regulators to be used in
logic systems instrumentation, Hi-Fi and other solid state equipment.
The LM 7805 is available in aluminum (3 terminals) packages, which
will allow over 1.0 Ampere load current if adequate heat sinking is provided.
Current limiting is included to limit the peak output current to a safe value.
Protection for the output transistors is provided to limit internal power
dissipation. If internal power dissipation becomes too high for the heat sinking
provided, the thermal shut circuit takes place over preventing the IC from over
heating.
Considerable efforts were expended to make the LM 7805 regulators
easy to use and minimize the number of external components. It is not
necessary to by pass the output although this does improve transient response.
FEATURES:
Output current is excess of 1A
Internal thermal overload protection.
No external components required.
Internal short-circuit current limit.
Available in the aluminum T0 - 3 packages.
41
Pc based automatic toll station
ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS:
1. Input voltage Up to 35v.

ABOUT SOFTWARE
Introduction To Java:
Java was designed by Sun Microsystems in the early 1990s. Java was
developed specifically for the World Wide Web to solve the problem of
connecting many household machines together. The Java language has a
number of interesting properties. One property is that it is intended to be
portable, even to the extent that programs can be dynamically loaded over the
network and run locally. The Java language and runtime system (which
includes libraries, the compiler, and the byte code interpreter) attempt to
address security issues; with the result that Sun claims Java will be secure.
The Java byte code is "write once and execute always". We can compile Java
programs on a platform and execute them in another completely different
architecture that has an implementation of the Java virtual Machine (JVM).
For example a Java program can be compiled on a Windows NT platform and
run without trouble on a Sun Ultra Solaris.
A Java platform has two components:
1. The Java Virtual Machine (JVM)
2. An Application Programming Interface (API)
2.1.2 Advantages Of Java of Over Other Languages:
Java has significant advantages over other languages and environments that
make it suitable for just about any programming task.
44

The advantages of Java are as follows:
1. Java is easy to learn.
2. Java was designed to be easy to use and is therefore easy to write,
compile, debug, and learn than other programming languages.
3. Java is object-oriented.
4. This allows you to create modular programs and reusable code.
5. Java is platform-independent.
2.1.3 Java 1.0, 1.1, and 2 (same as Java 1.2):
Java 1.0 was the first version. Java 1.1 added important changes to user
interface management, and many important new classes were added (JDBC,
JavaBeans ...). Java 2 was released at the end of 1998 with important additions
to many different parts of Java, but especially with an improved graphical user
interface, and many additional packages.
Versions:
1. Java 1.0 - 212 classes in 8 packages, released May 1996
2. Java 1.1 - 503 classes in 23 packages, released Feb 1997
3. Java 1.2/2.0 - 1,520 classes in 59 packages, released Dec 1998
4. Java 5.0 - 3562 classes in 166 packages.
Version used in this project: Java 1.4.2_10
Java now is continued as ‘Free Software’, with the sources available under
SUN Microsystems (refer site http://www.sun.java.com).

JAVA SWING:
2.2.1 Introduction:
GUIs represent only a single interface in complex software system, that
between the user and other software components. Today’s sophisticated
software has numerous interfaces between program components and modules.
The GUI is the most critical interface from the software users’ perspective.
User interfaces are addressed by programmers or designers other than those
responsible for core algorithms or processes. We explore two prominent
platforms by which many computer scientists gain their first experience in
developing a GUI –JavaSwing .
Javaswing is an extension of the Java programming language that enables
developers to create GUIs for Java source code, which can subsequently be
employed on various architectures like PCs (running Linux or Windows),
Macs, Sun Workstations and other computing platforms.
Swing is a GUI toolkit for Java. Swing is one part of the Java Foundation
Classes (JFC). Swing includes graphical user interface (GUI) widgets such as
text boxes, buttons, split-panes, and tables. Java and JavaSwing are products
of Sun Microsystems. JavaSwing is a collection of 17 public packages of
custom classes and methods for creating GUIs.

Interface
Java swing is a component of the Java Foundation Classes (JFC) for the Java
programming language. Programs written in the Java language are first
compiled into Java byte code, and then this code is run through a Java
interpreter which must be installed on the platform on which the code is to
run. This allows programs written in Java to be compiled once, distributed,
and then run on the various computer architectures programmers have a rich
set of tools for creating GUIs that suit their needs, as well as the ability to
extend the classes and methods provided by Java swing for customization..
Here are most of the commonly used classes and methods of Java swing, at
least those that are required in order to program fully functioning GUIs. The
Java swing provides components that are used to create a GUI, example code
segments, fully functional code that can be copied, compiled and run by the
user, and screen shots of code like when it is run on a native interpreter.
Swing gives much fancier screen displays than the raw AWT. Since they are
written in pure Java, they run the same on all platforms, unlike the AWT.
They are part of the JFC. They support pluggable look and feel — not by
using the native platform's facilities but by roughly emulating them. This
means we can get any supported look and feel on any platform.
This means that programmers have a rich set of tools for creating GUIs that
suit their needs, as well as the ability to extend the classes and methods
provided by JavaSwing for customization. Swing is basically a set of
customizable graphical components whose look-and-feel can be dictated at
runtime.

DATA BASE:
We are using M.S. Access data base as back end for V.B. it stores
values for corresponding fields on main form. These values provide detailed
information about user vehicle number, and are marked by appropriate tag
numbers. This database is relatively easy to prepare and to update. It can be
linked with V.B. application using data base link button, and specifying
accurate path extension.

ADVANTAGES OF OUR PROJECT:
Human effort and time is reduced.
The technology used does not require line of sight.
It is based on completely wireless technology.
Requires no Toll Plazas and investment on the infrastructure of building
huge toll plaza can be saved.
Choice of toll payment methods i.e. either Pre-paid or Post-
paid.
Widely used standard and globally accepted and implemented.
At presently available manual toll plazas there are high chances
of cheatings to be conducted. But in case of computerized toll
station, the cheating is completely eliminated because the
control is over the main server and there is no human interface
in the collection of the charges at the toll plazas.
Without the interruption in the flow of traffic, this system can
efficiently work 24 hours a day.
LIMITATIONS OF OUR PROJECT:
As every coin has its two sides, our system also has its ADVANTAGES
& few LIMITATIONS which can be overcome easily. They are,
We have to invest in dedicated computers which run 24X7 for each lane for
fast service.
We have to make provision for UPS for uninterrupted service.
If RFID tag is destroyed the information in it is lost & we will have to make
separate back-ups for every tag.
So basically investment cost is only the main limitation factor.

APPLICATIONS OF RFID
Customizes RFID solutions are now available for all applications are
frequency
ranges. Some of the most common uses are listed below.
The range from 8-10 MHz is used for animal and stock tagging mainly
for identification rather than tracking. Animal tracking tags, inserted
beneath the skin, can be as small as a pencil lead in diameter and ten
millimeters in length.
The frequency of exactly 13.56MHz is very widely used in almost all
smart card applications. The range is approximately 4 inches and the
circuit is simple enough to fit into the standard credit card shape and
size.
2.45 GHz is another popularly used frequency. It is employed in
railroad car monitoring, automatic toll collection systems and in factory
line assembly. Heavy-duty 120 100 50 millimeter rectangular
transponders are used to track inter-modal containers or heavy
machinery, trucks, and railroad cars for maintenance and tracking
applications.
Low frequency range from 1-10 MHz is used in electronic article
surveillance (EAS) in retail stores. EAS is used prevent shoplifting. The
anti-theft hard plastic tags attached to merchandise in stores are also
RFID tags. It is also similarly used for inventory control wherein
product code number and other data is read from its tag.
Prisoners in certain ways are tagged to prevent violent behavior and
possibly escape.
Petrol stations across America use tracking systems as payment systems
for fuel.
59

At airport tagged baggage can be easily located even if they are a few
meters away from the wrong conveyer belt.
In Mumbai Marathon for the first time RFID tags were used in
marathon in Asia to track each competitor and how fast they were
running.

FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS:-
Use of the Transceiver tags provides facility to locate a vehicle
position (like GPS) along with providing location information to
tourists traveling in vehicle.
Providing touch screen monitors to each tourist, helps in improving
communication and allows access to more information resources
(online) as per individual requirements.
With frequency band authentication, dedicated transceiver systems
and improved databases,” tourist guide system” can be implemented
practically.

CONCLUSION
Times are changing and even this Manual Technique for Taxation at toll
station has to change and seeing a change in mind set of every individual this
technology would also be taken whole heartedly. And we would see that
paying Toll at the Toll station wont be that time consuming and much accurate
and preferred across every nook and corner of the globe wherever there would
be a toll station. And as described above about the merits of this Toll station
we don’t think that its not that far enough when we would see this technology
being used in India and in terms benefiting the whole society as well as the
company whose is involved in Toll taxation.
RFID is a powerful technology, and it is likely to see world-wide
deployment within the coming years. Continuous technological advancements
of RFID have resulted in reduced cost of installation and maintenance of
devices across different market segments. Comparing advantages and
limitations of our system we can conclude that our system is beneficial for
daily travelers and Toll station authorities to lessen the burden.
And finally, while RFID may seem to be a fairly simple and innocuous
technology on the surface, a wide range of issues and choices need to be
explored and resolved for its successful, wide-scale deployment. We are
seeing great promise and signs that the RFID and future upcoming sensor
network technologies will help to change the way we think about our
manufacturing processes and the interactions with the people and customers.
With frequency band authentication, dedicated transceiver systems and
improved databases, “ADVANCED TOLLING SYSTEM” can be
implemented practically. By future modifications we can implement system
practically with help of organizations like state transport co-operation, private
toll authorities, NHAI, MSRTDC, etc.

Finally I would quote “The traveler was active; he went
strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of
experience. The tourist is passive; he expects
interesting things to happen to him. He goes ‘sight-
seeing’ -Daniel J. Boorstin”.
