Electronic Toll Collection System Using Barcode Technology

This paper emphasizes the barcode technology for automatic Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) systems, in order to avoid the ever-increasing stream of traffic and the long queues at the tollbooths of the highways. The proposed techniques make use of digital image processing techniques to scan the barcode and to match it with the existing database, by utilizing the decoded data. The implemented hardware setup has been illustrated and discussed in detail. The proposed technique for barcode detection significantly improves the speed, efficiency and lowers the cost of implementation. The method has been implemented by using Python and OpenCV.
