Introduction: Automating Toll Plazas of India

A few years ago, at the National toll plaza, a person used to physically collect toll tax. This was a time-consuming process creating a lot of traffic and other issues. Hence, to automate the process, BM Infotrade was 1st to automate India’s various important toll plazas. Now, slowly we are implementing across entire India. 

The Challenge:

 A few crucial factors to consider: 

  1. The biggest challenge was the automatic deduction of money after scanning the RFID tag placed on the car.

  2. Old process of physically collecting toll was increasing problems like traffic jams, inefficient handling of data and money.

  3. The solution to RFID automation requires high expertise in IT.

  4. We worked in collaboration with a technology partner to work on this problem.

  5. In the traditional case, the end-user and the machine would talk to a particular server in the plaza. The problem with this method is that if the server does not work the entire system stops.

 

The Solution:

Automating the Toll Plazas of India

    1. To automate the process, we configured two servers and one SAN storage for the toll plaza and deployed windows and Oracle systems on top of it.

    2. We configured the clusters with two servers to make the application high availability (HA) and provisioning of data on SAN storage.

    3. We configured virtual IP(VIP) on application for HA. This resulted in 99% uptime of application.

    4. We at BM Infotrade provided a solution that would solve all these problems and create efficient RFID automation in toll plazas.

 

Results of the solution provided by BM Infotrade:

  1. The biggest benefit that the tool plazas observed were fewer traffic jams.

  2. The process of collecting toll tax became convenient. 

  3. The toll plazas with our solution experienced minimum downtime and maximum efficiency.

  4. Our solution gave 99% uptime.

We deployed the IT infrastructure solution for RFID automation at National toll Plazas.
