Facing Long Queue At Toll Booths? Not Anymore! Know How!

Does nobody want to stay in a long queue at toll booths? It is a common phenomenon in our country. Every metro city is full of vehicles and needs some alternate process to save time. In this post, we will discuss how simple RFID technology can solve the problem and make the toll collection process smooth and easy. Read the full write-up to learn more. 

We have already seen the technology used in RFID hospital patient tracking. Here, we will look into the RFID technology and the technology used for making toll booths smart so that we don’t need to stand in line for long.  

New RFID-Enabled Toll Collection 

RFID technology has made the toll system easy and efficient. You will be surprised to know that you can RFID can make the process short and can save you time. If you install the necessary equipment in the toll booth, we can recognize a car with a unique identification. The driver will need to tap once, and the reader will receive all the information about him. Imagine the time it will save you. 

How Can RFID Help? 

Radio Frequency Identification, commonly known as RFID, is a technology for tracking and inventory management using radio waves. We use RFID tags to mark an item. Once the RFID tag is attached to it, you can trace that item using RFID management software. 

Many business organizations and retail shops use this technology as a personnel tracking system for security and inventory management. Keep reading to learn more about how RFID has changed the toll system for good. 

The Technology Used To Make The Process Smooth 

Do you know how the RFID system works? Four major items need to be installed if you want a hustle-free service. These are RFID tags, readers, antennae and RFID management software. There are two types of RFID tags available in the market. One is an active tag, and the other is a passive tag. Active tags have an inbuilt power supply and cost more than passive tags. Passive tags being cheap, don’t have any power supply. If you are looking for a tag that can cover a longer range, you should look for active tags. 

Readers can read data stored in those tags. You need to install multiple antennas for better operation. RFID management software is used to manage the whole system. 

Benefits Of Installing RFID

We have already discussed RFID enable toll collection system in detail. Now, look into some benefits of installing the RFID in toll booths-

1. Unless there is some physical damage, the system will run smoothly without any problems. 
2. After the Covid pandemic, people prefer to have a touchless system. RFID-enabled toll collection is remote, and the payment system is smooth and efficient. 
3. Less time to collect the toll means no rush in the booth, and it can solve the problem of traffic jams in toll centres. 
4. As the whole system is automated and has no leakage, you can expect a corruption-free system. 
5. Government don’t need to spend much to install the RFID system, and the operating cost is very low. 

In this way, RFID technology has made our life easy.
