The vehicle electronic tag installed on the windshield of the vehicle communicates with the microwave antenna on the etc lane of the toll station in short distance, and makes background settlement with the bank by using computer networking technology. This technology has a long history of development abroad, and the electronic toll collection systems in many countries and regions such as the United States and Europe have been partially networked, and economies of scale have gradually formed. Etc toll collection system is an advanced road and bridge toll collection method in the world.
Etc lane is used for vehicles equipped with etc on-board equipment, and electronic toll collection is adopted.
Where ETC can be installed
ETC cards and OBU equipment for small vehicles such as cars and vans are installed in the middle and upper part of the front windshield, and large vehicles such as trucks and buses are installed in the middle and lower part. Requirements for ETC installation position: the height is not less than 65438+2.5m, and the installation angle n is between 30 and 90.
Benefits of treatment, etc.
1, saving time and avoiding the trouble of queuing.
2, green and low-carbon, vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, which can reduce noise and exhaust emissions and pollution.
3. Save money, reduce the frequency of vehicle starting and braking, reduce wear and fuel consumption, and users can also enjoy a 9.5% toll concession.
4. More technological innovation. As the existing high-speed charging method with the fastest traffic speed and the most convenient payment, ETC has never stopped exploring and innovating. Since the beginning of this year, United Power has successively introduced new technologies such as fast phased array and free flow in China First Ramp ETC. Theoretically, the traffic efficiency of ETC lanes can be improved by more than 2-3 times, making the traditional ETC newer, faster and more high-tech. Compared with license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and has more advantages.
5. More policy support. The State Council clearly stated in the 13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Modern Comprehensive Transportation System that "by 2020, all key urban agglomerations will basically realize one-card interconnection, and the proportion of vehicles with ETC will be greatly increased". In the main indicators of comprehensive transportation development in the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", it is also clearly stated that the ETC utilization rate of highway buses will reach 50% by 2020.
6. More possibilities in the future. In addition to continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and use and the utilization rate of ETC buses, ETC will be promoted for trucks in the future, and the deep integration of ETC system with intelligent transportation development directions such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-road coordination will be explored to provide car owners with all-round travel services, which means that more application scenarios will support ETC applications.
