Overview:

The Toll Payment Wallet Simulator is a web-based application that mimics the functionality of a digital wallet used for toll payment on highways or urban roads. Users can recharge their wallet, simulate toll crossings, and view transaction history, while administrators can manage toll booths, set toll rates, and monitor user activity.

This system helps demonstrate how automated toll systems (like FASTag) work and can be integrated into smart city infrastructure or transport automation systems.

Technologies Used:

• Frontend: HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript

• Backend: PHP / Node.js / Java (Spring Boot)

• Database: MySQL / MongoDB

• Optional APIs: Google Maps API (to simulate toll routes), Email notification API

• Optional Features: QR code generation, vehicle number validation

Project Objectives:

• Simulate toll payment using a wallet-based system

• Provide users with account management, recharge, and transaction tracking

• Enable toll admins to set toll rates and monitor wallet usage

• Demonstrate digital transaction workflows for transportation systems
