Toll Gates

Project: Automatic Toll Gate System

This project is based on a microcontroller-controlled toll gate that uses sensors and actuators to automate the entry of vehicles. The system detects a vehicle at the gate using an infrared sensor, processes the signal through a microcontroller (ATmega/Arduino), and automatically opens the barrier using a motor. After the vehicle passes, the gate closes again.

The project demonstrates skills in:

Microcontroller programming (Embedded C / Arduino IDE)

Sensor interfacing (IR sensors)

Motor and actuator control

Real-time automation systems

This system can be applied in highways, parking lots, and secured areas to reduce human effort and improve efficiency.
