    INTRODUCTION
     Toll is an amount of money that you are required to pay for
    the use of a road or bridge.
     The average daily collection via FASTags on national highway
    fee plazas is Rs 147.31 crore.
     The government is of the view that toll collection via FASTags
    has grown significantly after declaration of all lanes of fee
    plazas on national highways as FASTag lanes effective
    February 2021.
    TOLL COLLECTION
    Before the implementation of FASTag, toll collection was a time-consuming and labor-intensive process that
    often caused traffic congestion on highways. People driving cars and other vehicles had to stop at toll booths,
    pay the toll in cash, and receive a receipt.

    India is poised to transform its highway tolling system through the implementation of a new satellite-based
    toll collection system.

    By leveraging the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and GPS technology, the system will charge
    vehicles based on the actual distance traveled, marking a significant shift from the traditional toll booths.
    ETCS
    The Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) System
    is a new toll system designed to enhance
    convenience for drivers by enabling cashless
    toll collection and thus mitigating congestion
    at expressway tollgates

    ETC systems offer numerous benefits,


    including reduced travel time, increased
    convenience for motorists, improved toll
    collection efficiency, and enhanced revenue
    collection for toll authorities.
    OBJECTIVE OF ETCS
    Reduce longer waiting
    time in toll queue.

    Provide traveller ease of


    toll payment.

    Reduce illegal toll gate


    entry.
    COMPONENTS OF ETCS
     RFID Tag
     Reader
     In lane computer
    RFID TAGS
     An RFID tag, or transponder,
    consists of a chip and an antenna.
     The microchip contains memory and
    logic circuit to receive and send data
    back to the reader.
     Each tag contains an identification
    number, data identifying the issuing
    agency, tag type, a description of the
    vehicle, and other agency specific
    data.
     The RFID tag mounted on the
    windshield of the vehicle.
    RFID TAGS - TYPES
    Active Tags Passive Tags
     transmits radio signals.  Reflects radio signal from
     Battery powered memory, reader.
    radio and circuitry.  Reader powered.
     High read range  Shorter read range (from
    ( 100 metres). 10 cm-5 m).
    DIFFERENT TYPES OF FASTAG CARDS
    READER
     A reader contains an antenna
    to transmit and receive data
    from the tag.
     The reader also contains a
    decoder and an RF module.
     It could be mounted or built
    as a portable handheld device
    IN LANE COMPUTER
     The In lane computer checks the
    data against a database of valid
    tags and active accounts,
    deducts the appropriate toll
    from the customer’s accounts,
    and approves passage or raise a
    tollgate to allow the vehicle to
    pass through the toll plaza.
    WORKING
     As a vehicle approaches a toll plaza, the radio
    frequency (RF) field emitted from the antenna
    activates the transponder.
     The transponder broadcast signal back to the
    lane antenna with some basic information.
    That information is transferred from the lane
    antenna to the central database.
     If the account is in good standing a toll is
    deducted form the driver’s prepaid accounts.
     If the toll lane has a gate, the gate opens.
     A green light indicates that driver can
    proceed.
    ADVANTAGES
     Entire process takes a matter of seconds to
    complete.
     Electronic system records transactions, including
    the time, date, plaza and toll charge of each vehicle.
     Allow drivers to pass through the system at 55
    miles per hour (86 kmph).
     Reduce corruption at toll plazas.
    DISADVANTAGES
     If the server fails, it will result in the failure of the automated electronic
    deduction system.
     There were many instances of charging the double amount of the original
    amount due to some technical issues. OR Not charging a vehicle
    completely if it is in range less than 4 metres behind other vehicles.
     Owner’s registration and bank details will be linked to the FASTag
    account, so in case the owner sells the vehicle, it is not clear whether a new
    owner will be able to drive the car with the same FASTag or not.
     It does not consider distance travelled and charge the same amount from
    the user irrespective of distance travelled
    CASE STUDY: KHED-SHIVAPUR, PUNE
     Khed-Shivapur toll plaza is one of the four toll plazas on
    National Highway 4 in Maharashtra state, which also
    happens to be the busiest amongst all.
     The delay and queue is mainly due to two different charging
    methods namely known as ‘Manual Toll Collection (MTC)’
    and ‘Electronic Toll Collection (ETC)’.
     At this toll plaza, all the lanes are having mixed lane system
    that is both MTC and ETC vehicles pass through the same
    lane.
    CASE STUDY
     Mixed Lanes: Mixed lanes are the lanes at a toll plaza which allows both
    Manual tolling vehicles and automated tolling vehicles to pass through. At
    Khed-Shivapur toll plaza, all lanes are mixed lanes.

     Lack of display boards: Vehicles which travels at high speed approaching


    at the toll plaza, it is not possible for a short distance to switch the lanes at
    that speed. National Highway 48 is a six-lane divided Highway and
    vehicles travel in all three lanes with a speed limit of 80 KMPH.Such huge
    speed causes problem to change the lane rapidly, this results in vehicles
    entering the wrong lane which is not allocated for them. This may look
    like a small issue but during peak hours it is a concerning congestion
    causing factor.
     Manual Corrections: For manual tolling vehicles, toll staff
    collect the cash from vehicles, give a computer generated receipt,
    and allow the vehicle to pass. As one can see, the staff is a vital
    part in this process. During the conversation with the toll
    authorities it was observed that co-ordination of the staff was not
    effective creating chaos at the booths affecting the saturation
    headway. However this observation is practical and is up to
    individual’s correction.
