The Solution’s Functionality

• The Solution provided should be able to provide the following
Functionality :
• Semi Automatic and ETC toll collection.
• Processing of Raw Traffic Data.
• Cash up Process.
• Audit of Toll Collection operation.
• Smart card related operations
• Generation of various reports for different administration level.
Architecture of the Solution
• The solution will be implemented utilizing the client – server
architecture. Which inturn would help in the effective
communication between all the devices.
• The Solution involves three parts:
• Server Machine
• Client Machine
• Hardware Devices
• Where the server machine is the one where the Application is
deployed and the client machines are the one used by the toll
collectors at each Lane.
Total solution Overview
• The below is the setup that is required for the deployment of
the solution.

• Where the software does all the functionality required for

report generation, processing raw traffic data, Audit etc.,
Server Machine
• This machine is the one which is managed by the plaza
administrator or manager.
• The software solution will be deployed in this machine and
then published to all the client machine. Where the client
machine sends HTTP requests and get the query done by
server.
• This server machine has its
own database server from
it gets the required data for
the client application.
Client Machine
• The client machines are the one used by the toll collectors at
each lane. This machines will access the application deployed
at server application trough browser.
• This machine is directly connected to the hardware devices
such as
• Smart card reader.
• Barcode reader.
• Other devices like receipt printer etc.,
• This sends the HTTP request to the server and gets the query
done by it and get back the result via HTTP response.
Hardware Devices
• The hardware devices can be the barcode readers, Smart card
readers, Receipt printers, AVC sensors etc.,
• Where some are used to convert the raw traffic data into the
information required by the software i.e. AVC sensor is used
to classify the vehicle in lane area depending on its height.
• The devices like user fare display are used to display the fare
value to he vehicle user.
• Barcode readers are used for the day pass of the user
(Multiple trips) and smart card readers are for monthly pass
of the user.
Interfacing the Hardware
• For interfacing the hardware like sensors or any other device
that cannot be directly connected to the client machine, there
involves the usage of some embedded hardware.
• This embedded hardware will perform the operation of
converting the raw data from the sensor into the format that
is comprehensive for the user or the client machine.
Possibility of the Solution
• It can generate all kinds of reports with metrics for different
level of managerial review.
• Software is capable of interfacing with hardware that is
connected to the PC provided it should have a access of it.
• The images taken by the camera can also be integrated into
the software.
• The software can perform operation related to smart card,
barcode reader and any other sensor.
• It can process the raw traffic data into the information
understood by the user and also capable of doing the cash up
process.
Advantages of the solution
• It is independent of the operating system what is running on
the client machine provided the machine should have a
browser installed on it.
• The applications is accessible from anywhere within the LAN,
required the PC should have a browser.
• Software uses a high end encryption algorithm for the
password storage. Which avoids the unauthorized user to
access the system.
• After the deployment of the solution the user intervention is
required to some extent.
