Abstract: System and method for vehicle toll management are disclosed herein. For example, toll records of toll gates along a roadway are accessed. The toll records include sensor data including data associated with Radio Frequency Identifier (RFID) tags and image data. Further, it is determined, from the toll records of a first toll gate, that a vehicle is passed without paying toll. Furthermore, the vehicle is determined via processing of the image data associated with the first toll gate and/or a subset of the toll gates. Also, a correlation process that automatically correlates the toll records to mobile communication network data of base stations proximate to the first toll gate and/or the subset toll gates is executed. Based on the correlation, identification information of a mobile device corresponding to a user of the vehicle is then determined. A notification is then transmitted to the mobile device regarding payment of the toll.
