PROJECT MANAGEMENT
1. Project introduction and initiation
1.1 Project background
The project mainly reflects on the development of E-toll system in Hyderabad Ring road.
Presently, manual toll system is mainly utilized in Hyderabad ring road which generally requires
a toll collector or attendant who receives toll as per the classification of the vehicle. As the
manual system of collecting toll is time consuming therefore the vehicles need to wait in queue
in order to pay for the money which further creates a number of challenges [2].It mainly reduces
the efficiency of traffic flow and causes problems like traffic congestion. In order to reduce the
problem that are mainly faced by the vehicles on Hyderabad ring road, it is quite necessary to
implement the E-toll system. It is found that the main aim of the project is to eliminate the delay
on Hyderabad ring road which is one of the busiest 8lane ring road expressway that encircles the
capital city of Hyderabad in India [3]. It is found that with the help of the electronic toll
collection system, the speed as well as efficiency of the traffic flow can be improved which
further helps in saving the time of the drivers. In addition to this, it is found that due to the better
flow of the traffic, the congestion gets reduced and the fuel economy gets improved. Moreover, it
is found that it further helps in increasing revenue by saving time and for attracting the customers
properly.
1.2 Project need statement
The presence of manual toll system on Hyderabad ring road generally have lot of
demerits and are also considered to be difficult to solve the problems that are mainly related with
traffic congestion as well as time wastage. In addition to this, it is found that the manual toll
system is considered as one of the slow system that generally requires more tolls than any other
for achieving proper traffic flow. Moreover, the traffic cost that is associated with the manual toll

set-up is considered to be costly if the acquisition of the land is high. It is found that during the
intervention of collecting moneys from tolls, the processing time that is generally required is
quite high as the vehicle sensors need to crosscheck the data against the toll that is generally
collected by the toll attendant. In order to resolve the issue, it is quite necessary to implement
electronic toll system on Hyderabad ring road. The electronic toll system does not help in
enhancing the traffic flow but also helps in saving the time of the drivers.
1.3 Project business case analysis
The paper mainly focuses on the implementation of E-toll system on Hyderabad ring road
in order to resolve the issues that occur due the utilization of manual toll system. It is found that
the manual toll system mainly collects toll on the basis of vehicle classification by the attendant
of toll and order to pay money, the vehicles need to stand in queue. As the manual system is
utilized for completing the entire operation therefore the processing time that is needed is quite
high. Due to delay of few minutes in processing within the manual toll system can creates traffic
congestion. Furthermore, the drivers who cross the toll faces time related issues and challenges.
In order to mitigate this type of issues and challenges, it is quite necessary to implement
electronic toll system. It is found that the implementation of toll system not only helps in
improving the efficiency of the traffic flow and help in saving the time of the drivers but also
helps in providing a better flow of traffic by reducing congestion that further helps in increasing
revenue in context to time savings. Moreover, it is found that the electronic toll system will be
implemented within 7 months by utilizing budget of AUD 300,000 by following the scope of the
project in order to achieve the objectives of the project.
