Abstract: The TollEase project is a computerized toll management system designed to streamline toll collection processes at toll plazas. The system utilizes a database to store vehicle, toll rate, and transaction information. Key features include real-time and historical reporting, providing insights into toll transactions, revenue generation, and peak traffic hours. The system is web-based, employing MySQL and phpMyAdmin for data storage and management, facilitating efficient toll plaza operations and enhanced user experience.
