Summary:

India is a highly populous country. The traffic problems faced by the people here are not uncommon. The increase in traffic leads to increase in accidents, pollution, inconvenience and frustration. It also comes with costs of additional fuel and time.Though public transport is extensively available in India, still it isn't sufficient for the population of India. Especially in Metro cities, public transport services are often crowded. So, to travel peacefully people are opting for commuting in their own vehicles. And as a result, more vehicles are coming on roads. Other major reasons for increasing traffic are lack of proper implementation of traffic rules and traffic signals out of sync.In addition to city traffic, congestion is also seen on highways, mainly at toll plazas. Although implementation of FASTag has reduced it to some extent, some toll plazas still face traffic congestion issues.This paper provides an idea to ease the traffic problems in the city and on the highways too. The system is a low cost, all-in-one model which will provide benefits like proper implementation of traffic rules, road monitoring and hence smooth movement of traffic, automating fine collections, improved road safety and even vehicle tracking by authorities to prevent crime. This system also helps in ease of toll collection with no need of vehicles to stop on toll plazas. This further helps to eliminate toll plazas and enable direct toll collection based on distance travelled
