2Description of Requirement

2.1Background

Growth of automobile traffic leading to serious congestion problems is the bottleneck for all developing cities, especially obstructive for cities with high growth potential. Highways have enhanced the mobility of every city although it is a challenge for urban highway system to meet the growing needs of developing cities and keep congestion under control. The most direct approach to reduce congestion is through infrastructure modifications by adding new lanes and bridges, which is by far the most expensive solution.

There are other solutions that focus on improving the efficiency of the existing infrastructure.

Operational modifications, better incident management, implementation of Intelligent Transportation System, effective utilization of public transit system and other transportation management strategies and few of the available strategies. Unfortunately, there exists noglobal solution or panacea and each situation is unique and requires customized solution.

This solution can be achieved through careful analysis of various feasible alternatives.

The toll business management solution is based on an open service oriented architecture where toll road active components are plugged as services on a peer-to-peer basis. The toll plaza is based on three layers service structure organised as follows:

• 
  The Central Coordination Service
  
• 
  Toll Plaza Management Service
  
• 
  Lane Management Service
  

Figure 1 Manual toll

The fully automated boom gates are opened via license plate recognition or with an electronic access enabled once customer has swiped the electronic access card reader or a PIN code or a finger print. All linked to tyre slashes preventing drive through and enabling a cashless operation. The type of vehicle is recorded and displayed to the operator, along with recording real time parking time (data). The ability to operate each PAYMENT STATION in both directions facilities access efficiencies, along with free exit once off PAID.
