Design of smart card for automated toll collection at Jamuna Multipurpose Bridge in Bangladesh

This paper presents the design and development of a 16-bit smart card for automated toll collection at Jamuna multipurpose bridge in Bangladesh. Since it is simpler and faster than the traditional token based ticket system, it has all the potential to replace the existing system. Moreover, it saves userspsila valuable time by reducing the queue length in front of the toll counter. The proposed smart card has been designed using very (high-speed integrated circuit) hardware description language (VHDL) and simulated in Quartus II. Finally, it is downloaded in a field programmable gate array (FPGA) chip and tested on some given scenarios.
