How the AI toll system works

1. Automatic number plate recognition (ANPR)

• High-resolution cameras capture vehicle number plates
• AI reads and identifies the vehicle in real time

High-speed driving near toll plazas is a major cause of accidents.

✔️ 2. Improve law enforcement

• No need for manual checking
• Reduces corruption and human error

✔️ 3. Faster traffic flow

• Vehicles don't need to stop for physical checks
• Smooth, contactless monitoring

️ Where it is being implemented
