Abstract-– The increasing number of vehicles on roads has raised the need for quicker, more efficient toll collection systems. Manual toll collection methods tend to cause traffic jams, delays, and wastage of fuel. This paper introduces an Automatic Toll Management System based on RFID technology to collect tolls automatically and minimize human effort. In this system, every vehicle is fitted with an RFID tag that contains a unique identification number. When a car comes to the toll booth, an RFID reader picks up the tag, and the system verifies the car’s account balance. In the event that the tag is acceptable and the balance is adequate, the toll figure is automatically subtracted, and the gate swings open via a servo motor. A traffic light module directs the driver via red, yellow, and green colours. The implementation is done by means of an Arduino Uno microcontroller, and the programming is done through Embedded C in the Arduino IDE. It offers contactless, speedier, and more reliable response to current requirements of toll collections. This project enhances traffic flow, decreases operational costs, and reduces the effects of human error. It is also scalable to future upgrades, including integration with SQL databases, mobile applications, and cloud- based monitoring, allowing it to be well-suited for smart city transit infrastructure.
