Can motorcycles use ETC?
1 Answers
Motorcycles cannot use ETC. Currently, many provinces do not issue ETC cards for motorcycles, but their right to access highways remains unchanged. The ETC system operates through wireless communication and information exchange between the on-board unit installed in the vehicle and the antenna installed at the toll station lane. It consists of an automatic vehicle identification system, a central management system, and other auxiliary facilities. The automatic vehicle identification system includes an on-board unit (also known as a transponder, electronic tag, or loop sensor), while the central management system has a large database storing extensive information about registered vehicles and users. When a vehicle passes through the toll station, the loop sensor detects the vehicle, the RSU sends an interrogation signal, the OBU responds, and two-way communication and data exchange occur.
