Design and Implementation of Image and Video Capturing in ETTM System

Abstract

This project proposes the Raspberry Pi with local server based image and video capturing in Electronic Toll and Traffic Management (ETTM) system for toll tax collection. Current toll collection systems in Myanmar make use of manual cash Management observed in past years. Manual toll collection systems are major bottlenecks of high speed commutation. Embedded Real time video monitoring system is designed, in which the embedded chip and the programming techniques are used. The central monitor which adopts Raspberry pi is the core of the whole system. First, Pi camera video data are collected by the embedded Linux system. All data are processed, compressed and transferred by the processing chip. Then video data are sent to the mobile client by wireless network. This project implements an electronic toll collection system using Raspberry Pi and passive RFID tags. The toll is deducted from the user account each time it passes through a toll plaza. Pi camera that is installed with LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) and captures the cars passing the ETC. Electronic system will also bring transparency in toll tax collection and stop corruption and tax evasion issues.
