The owner has no objection to the facsimile reproduction by anyone of the patent document or the patent disclosure, as it appears in the Patent and Trademark Office patent files or records, but otherwise reserves all rights whatsoever. All rights to such intellectual property are fully reserved by the owner. FIELD OF INVENTION [0001] The embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to vehicular toll and tax deduction system, and more particularly, to a cellular network based automated vehicular toll and tax deduction system and method thereof. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The following description of related art is intended to provide background information pertaining to the field of the disclosure. This section may include certain aspects of the art that may be related to various features of the present disclosure. However, it should be appreciated that this section be used only to enhance the understanding of the reader with respect to the present disclosure, and not as admissions of prior art. [0003] Automotive sectors are undergoing tremendous transformation in terms of digitalization and advanced communication. For many of its applications, the automotive sector is working along with various other communication network technologies such as long- term evolution (LTE) networks and Internet of Things (IoT) network to bring such transformation. [0004] One such application is in vehicular toll tax and toll fee collection. Conventional way of collecting toll fee involves setting up toll booths, where vehicles mayy have to stop and the driver of the vehicle may have to manually pay the toll in cash or with a card. To reduce human intervention, automated systems are engaged to collect the toll fee by equipping vehicles with a Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) tag that may be scanned by a toll reader device installed at the toll booths. [0005] In the existing RFID-based toll collection system, the RFID tags are installed on a wind shield of the vehicle or on an outer side of the wind shield. This creates high probability for the tags to get stolen. Such stolen tags may also be misused. Since the tags are placed outside, they may also be damaged or lost. In all the cases, the owner of the vehicle may have to either replace or lodge a complaint to get a new tag, leading to a lot of hassle. [0006] There is, therefore, a need in the art to provide a system and a method that can overcome the shortcomings of the existing prior arts.

A geo-fence may be dynamically generated or matched with a predefined set of boundaries. [0047] The present disclosure provides a robust and an effective solution for automatic toll and tax deduction. In an aspect, the present disclosure provides an IoT-based solution for automated toll and tax deduction by creating a geo-fence around a pre-defined toll deduction boundary and using the existing cellular networks, for example, without limitations, 2G/3G/4G/5G/6G or the like that may cover most of the toll highways along with an OBD device fitted on a vehicle. In some embodiments, the OBD device may be pre-fitted with the vehicle or may be retrofitted in OBD ports in the vehicles. In some embodiments, the OBD device may include a subscriber identity module (SIM) card for enabling the OBD device to attach to the cellular network and may have an ‘always on’ cellular connectivity. Further, the OBD device may include a global positioning system (GPS) client and an embedded application for reporting GPS data and a set of diagnostic data to an application server hosted on a cloud platform through the cellular network. The application server may use the reported GPS data to map with data associated with the created geo-fence to generate a toll fee. The application server may report the toll fee to end users, for example, vehicle owners or drivers through short messaging service (SMS) messages/mobile application notifications. In some embodiments, the end user may have an OBD application with a mandatory option to link to a bank account or a third-party wallet from which the toll fee may be auto debited whenever the end user crosses the geo-fence. [0048] The various embodiments throughout the disclosure will be explained in more detail with reference to FIGs.1-5. [0049] FIG.1A illustrates an exemplary representation of a network architecture (100- A) of an automated toll and tax deduction system, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. [0050] Referring to FIG. 1A, the network (100-A) may include one or more network components, for example, without limitations, a communication network (102) for example, without limitations a 2G/3G/4G/5G/6G or any future communication network,, a telematics platform (104), a centralized database (106), a bank (108), an access point (110), for example, without limitations, an evolved node B or a next generation node B (gNB), or the like, a GPS satellite (112), and a government portal (116). In some embodiments, the network (100-A) may connect the one or more network components to an end user or a registered user through a mobile application (114). The end user or the registeered user may be associated with a vehicle (120) whose vehicle identity number may be registered with the centralized database (106). In some embodiments, the centralized database (106) may store information related to a registered user and a vehicle associated with the registered user. The information may include, for example, without limitations, a contact number of the user, email address of the user, at least one active bank account associated with the user, etc. In some embodiments, more than one bank account associated with the registered user may be stored at the centralized database (106), so that in case if one of the bank accounts is having a lesser balance, the toll fee may be deducted from another account. [0051] Referring to FIG.1A, the stored information may further include details of the vehicle (120) of the registered user such as, a vehicle identity number (VIN) based on which the vehicle (120) may be authenticated when the vehicle (120) enters a geofence (118) around a toll plaza or a toll booth or a toll station or a toll collection point. The vehicle (120) may include an OBD device which may be enabled to communicate with the access point (110) and the GPS statellite (112). The communication of the vehicle’s OBD device with the access point (110) may enable reading the VIN of the vehicle (120) and authenticating the vehicle (120), for allowing the vehicle (120) to enter the geofence periphery (118). In some embodiments, the OBD device in the vehicle (120) may communicate with the GPS satellite (112) to determine the location of the vehicle (120). [0052] Referring to FIG.1A, the OBD device may communicate the vehicle’s current location with respect to the geo-fence (118). For example, the vehicle (120) may enter the geo- fence (118) at a first point (120-A) and may exit the geo-fence (118) from a second point (120- B). The first point (120-A) may be the point of the vehicle (120) entering the geo-fence (118) from a first side of a toll plaza or a toll collection point and the second point (120-B) may be the point at which the vehilce (120) may exit the geo-fence (118) from a second side of the toll plaza. The first side may be opposite to the second side. The registered user or the driver of the vehicle (120) may have a mobile application (114) in their user device to get all the required messages related to the vehicle authentication and toll deduction. [0053] By way of example, without limitation, when the vehicle (120) is about to enter the geo-fence (118), the vehicle (120) may be authenticated based on its VIN, wherein the VIN may be stored in the centralized database (106). Further, the OBD in the vehicle (120) may commuicate with the GPS satellite (112) to find the location of the vehicle (120) and communicate the same to the telematics platform (104) for VIN authentication. If the VIN is authenticated, the vehicle (120) may be allowed to enter the geo-fence (118) and a first message alert stating that the vehicle (120) has entered the geo-fence (118) may be sent to the mobile device or user device of the user/driver associted with the vehicle (120) through the access point (110). A toll fee may be calculated based on whether the vehicle (120) is in a national highway or a state highway by collecting informaiton from the government portal (116). The calculated toll fee may be deducted from the user’s registered account with the bank (108) upon exiting the geo-fence (118). Further, based on the GPS data received from the OBD, the telematics platform (104) may determine if the vehicle (120) has exit the geo-fence (118) and send a second alert message to inform the user/the driver that the vehicle (120) has exit the geo-fence (118). The toll fee may be deducted and a third alert message may be sent to the user’s mobile device that the toll fee is deducted from the registered bank account. The first, second, and third alert messages may be SMS or mobile application messages. The SMS may be sent by the access point (110) to the mobile device of the user/driver. The communication network (102) may send the application message on the mobile application (114). On the other hand, if the VIN is not authenticated, the vehicle ignition may be turned off or the vehicle (120) may be prevented from entering the geo-fence (118). A toll fee associated with such vehicle may be collected using conventional technique. In some embodiments, an auto reacharge option or standing instructions may be set by the user.
