Abstract
 Acknowledgement
This Toll Management System project is submitted for the partial fulfilment of the
requirement for the degree of Bachelor of Science, Hons, Computing with Artificial
Intelligence, CS5002NI Data Structure and Specialist Programming here at Islington
College. I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude to my
module leader, Mr. Prithivi Maharjan, for his invaluable guidance, support, and
encouragement throughout this project.

Working on the Toll Management System has enriched me with a wide range of
practical aspects of programming and data management that could be implemented in
real-life scenarios. The long hours put into this project have allowed me to grasp a deep
sense of fulfilment and personal development. I am also indebted, especially to Mr.
Prithivi Maharjan, for his ever-valuable suggestions and guidance through some
problems that came up during the development process.

Finally, I would like to thank Islington College for the enriching environment for learning
and fostering academic growth in a very meaningful way, in which the satisfactory
completion of the work was made easier.

1. Introduction

1.1. Purpose
PayPath a smart tolling and traffic management system is a revolutionary
system which is being developed in order to automate and smooth sail
the process of toll collection. One of the key features of this system is its
ability to track vehicle movements and automatically record the number of
vehicles passing through it.
This project mainly holds the purpose to modernize the toll collection
process which ensures faster toll transactions and generate report on
daily, weekly and monthly basis on how many vehicles passed through it
with how much revenue it has collected.
1.2. Audience
The main targeted audiences for the toll collection management system
(PathPay) can in broken down as following:

i. Toll Booth Operators

- For managing toll collection and ensuring smooth operations.
ii. Vehicle Owners
- To register, pay tolls, track payment history and
iii. System Administrators
- To oversee the entire system and generate reports, ensuring
system operates smoothly and troubleshooting technical issues
iv. Government Authorities
- For monitoring toll revenue and traffic data to ensure transparency
and regulatory compliance and adjusting toll operations during
peak times.

1.3. Aims and Objectives

The projects main aim is to present an effective automatic solution
towards toll tax management, enabling smooth operational functioning
and greater transparency. The online system ensures smooth functioning
of toll operations by virtue of vehicle tracking in real time, automatic
payment processing, and dynamic toll management, with seamless user
experiences for the administrator as well as vehicle owners. The following
objectives outline the key goals of this project and some steps that are
required to ensure develop an automate toll system.

5. Coursework Development
The Toll Management System (PathPay) is a project which is fully developed
using NetBeans IDE which has a user-friendly interface and easier to navigate
for beginners. This project follows the MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture to
ensure modularity.

5.1. Tools and techniques used

5.1.1. NetBeans
NetBeans is an open-source integrated development environment (IDE) for
developing with Java, PHP, C++, and other programming languages. NetBeans
is also referred to as a platform of modular components used for developing Java
Desktop applications. NetBeans is coded in Java and runs on most operating
systems with a JMV, including Solaris, Mac OS, and Linux (Rouse, 2018).

5.1.2. Java
Java is a class-based, object-oriented programming language that is designed to
have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is intended to let
application developers Write Once and Run Anywhere (WORA), meaning that
compiled java code can run on all platforms that support java without the need for
recompilation. Java is known for its simplicity, robustness and security features
making it a popular choice for enterprise-level applications (GeeksforGeeks,
2025).
