Abstract: National Automatic Toll Collection System (NATCS) using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag contains electronically stored information which can be read from up to several meters away. The Electronic Toll Collection System (ETC) executes the automatic payments of transportation fee without stopping a toll gate in express ways. The proposed toll-plaza will be act as a multi-plaza. Vehicles are classified with weight and speed. Multi-plaza takes the benefits of controlling the overloading, identifying theft. Operations Research Methods are used for the study of design and optimization of transportation systems. This study proposes an Optimal Queuing Model to minimize the queue and average waiting time of the vehicles in toll booths. The design can be further developed to aid the Satellite Surveillance Systems once all toll gates are networked. Experimental results signify that the proposed approach with ETC Smart Card Systems doubled the accuracy and produced adequate results.
