What is Electronic Toll Collection?
Electronic toll collection is an automatic method of toll collection which does not require vehicle to stop at toll gate and make use of payment by user cards which are linked with ETC system. The system determines whether a passing car is registered and if not, then it alerts to local concerned agency. Transportation has emerged as a dominant infrastructure and economy corridor across the world and toll plazas play a vital role in maintaining the road transportation. As opposed to manual toll collection, tolling in future is likely to make use of multiple technologies which include radio-frequency identification (RFID), dedicated short range communication (DSRC), infrared, GNSS/GPS and video analytics. The world is going through industrial revolution and road transportation is required in every aspect of economy growth thus giving ETC system an edge which will keep on expanding irrespective of slight niggle on the way.
