The main problem of Indonesian's highway is the long queue at the toll gates due to toll fee payment transaction. This occurs when arriving rate of the vehicles is much higher than servicing rate of the toll gates. Instead of cash payment at manual toll gates, automatic toll gates (GTO) use debit cards to do payment faster. Regardless the gates are manual or automatic, every vehicle should stop for a while to finish the transaction. The more vehicles come, the longer queue be. The longer queue, the more wasting fuel consumption and the higher air pollution be. Further, the conventional payment method at the toll gates makes this situation even worse. Toll gates officers or automatic printers will give a small piece of paper as successful payment notification. These notification papers, however, are not really cared by the drivers and further become trashes around the toll gates. This research aims to improve the quality of service of the toll gates by developing a queuing free environmental friendly automatic toll gates. Instead of debit card to identify the toll customers and do the payment, the proposed system uses a noncontact technology that commonly referred as Radio Frequency Identification. The vehicle is identified by the systems just as it is passing through the toll gate. This method eliminates the queue at the toll gate since the payment is done in fly. Next, a payment notification is sent to the driver's hand phone via short message service. It replaces the need of paper and ink and eliminates paper trashes around the toll gates. This paper presents the hardware development of the proposed system.
