Does ETC installation require wiring?

[SanKatherine]

ETC installation does not require wiring as it uses its own power source. The ETC electronic tag consumes power, but it does not need regular charging during normal use because there is a solar panel on the back of the battery that allows it to charge itself. During installation, avoid the black areas on the windshield. The built-in power source of ETC typically has a lifespan of 3-5 years. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, which is an electronic toll collection system. It uses automatic vehicle identification technology to enable wireless data communication between the vehicle and the toll station, facilitating automatic vehicle recognition and the exchange of relevant toll data. The system employs computer networks to process toll data, achieving a fully automated electronic toll collection system without the need for stopping or toll booths. To apply for ETC, the following documents are required: the vehicle owner's valid ID card and the original and photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate. If the application is made by a proxy, the proxy's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a bank card for deducting highway toll fees is needed. The applicant must be between 18 and 60 years old, and the vehicle must be registered under an individual's name. How ETC works: The onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield communicates with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station. The system uses computer networking technology to settle payments with the bank in the background, allowing vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Reduces noise, exhaust emissions, and pollution by allowing vehicles to pass through toll stations without stopping; Cost-saving: Reduces wear and tear and fuel consumption by minimizing the frequency of vehicle starts and stops. Users can also enjoy toll discounts; Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase traffic efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster, more advanced, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.
