Automatic Number Plate Reader (ANPR) will read the vehicle's license plate and directly deduct the money from the car owner's bank account. These ANPR cameras will be installed at the entry and exit of the toll plaza and will capture the numbers of the trains. The existing FASTags system will be replaced by ANPR to reduce traffic congestion
