Electronic toll collection (ETC) through RFID Tags can reduce delay from the toll area. In this the identification of arrived vehicle is done with the help of radio frequency (RF). A vehicle will hold an RFID tag on its windshield so that mounted RFID reader can transmit the radio frequency for collecting toll fee from the user account. Whenever the vehicle passes from tolling lane, the tax amount will be deducted from his prepaid account. As vehicles don’t need to stop during a queue, this helps to reduced traffic jam at toll plazas and helps in lower fuel consumption. At study area End lanes from both sides are having mixed lane configuration that is it mode of payment for collecting toll fee is via cash or through FASTag and rest all intermediate lanes are dedicated FASTag lanes. After implementation of 100% ETC in India, still vehicles are facing delay problem at ETC lanes, so with the help of data collected and on-site survey at both cash lane and FASTag lane some more sources of traffic congestion have been noticed. Based on the vulnerabilities found on the Toll Site, this paper proposes some recommended configurations for various traffic conditions for the toll plaza.
