Checks that can be put in place

• The extra wide lane is just protected by plastic barricades creating a gap for two wheeler / three wheeler to pass by.

• End of the shift the system report and bilti are reconciled.
• Random checks on the T.C with high local transaction regularly by the APM.

• The T.C might develop alliance with any vehicle and show the transaction as bar code transaction after memorizing and punching the number and pocketing the amount
• The vehicle might change the barcode and use the same bar code for different vehicles of same class
• But in case of heavy traffic the T.C asks the user themselves for the vehicle number and enters in the system and if the user has taken the barcode from different user then he will say the number of the vehicle to whom the barcode was issued and hence there will be no mismatch be the class is same and vehicle will pass.

• All the barcode transactions are cross checked by the acting APM next day in the morning.

• Chances next to nil as for tampering with system entire team has to be involved in that shift. With the staff staying close by there is always fear that any one might come.
• If the AVC is off then all the vehicle will come as violation thus Toll supervisor will have to validate all the transactions hence even if the T.C tried to take advantage of the same he will be penalized as shortage once the Toll Supervisor over rules his decision.
