I. INTRODUCTION
The rise in traffic volume has affected the free flow at the tollgate on the freeways for payment in cash. The best available technology to overcome this problem was automated Electronic toll collection system. The automated system is combination of several subsystems. The RFID technology, computer database, power supply, microcontroller, motor and inferred device are included. Automatized toll system has been successful in saving time and reducing the human workers intervention.

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification):
The RFID systems employed worldwide have various features and application, but generally when they are used in automobiles for Electronic toll-collection purposes would be an active Transponder that usually stores a serial number that is unique and linked with user’s personal account.
RFID Reader: In order to read the RFID tag a reader or Scanner is placed in the E-toll lane to communicate, read the tag and to transmit to the database. When a reader transmits radio waves, all the tags in the communicating range will respond to the frequency and exchange of data takes place. Electronic Toll-collection systems: The RFID device consists of tags known and E-Zpass(or they have different names for different providers) that are fitted on the windshields of vehicles, through which data embedded in the tags are read by RFID readers, This system replaces the manual ticket payment and toll fee collection process with automated payment method. Moreover data information is also easily traded between the toll authorities and motorists, in this manner it is possible for more efficient toll collection by minimizing traffic and eliminating possible human
