MUMBAI, India, July 11 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541060546 A) filed by Vignan's Institute Of Information Technology, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, on June 25, for 'modern gps-based toll collecting system for dynamic, contactless road pricing.'
Inventor(s) include Ms. K. Sree Sandhya; Dr. Sala Gayathri; Mr. Muvvala Baburao; Mr. Bandaru Mahesh; Mr. Komati Bharath; and Mr. Patnala Vinayak.
The application for the patent was published on July 11, under issue no. 28/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "In conventional toll systems, inefficiencies such as traffic congestion, time loss, and fuel consumption persist due to reliance on physical infrastructure and static toll pricing. Even with RFID-based FASTag systems, issues like queueing, partial automation, and zone-based pricing remain. With increasing vehicular traffic and a need for smarter transport infrastructure, a shift to more dynamic, technology-enabled systems is essential. This invention proposes a GPS-based toll collection method that leverages real-time location tracking to dynamically compute tolls based on actual distance travelled. Utilizing embedded IoT hardware like the ESP8266 NodeMCU and NEO-6M GPS module, this system aims to eliminate the need for toll plazas, enhance billing transparency, and improve road usage efficiency."
