Does ETC need to be powered?
1 Answers
ETC does not need to be powered. There are two power supply methods for ETC devices: 1. Solar power supply: During the day when there is sunlight, the ETC device has solar panels that can convert solar energy into light energy for automatic charging. Solar power supply is the more commonly used power supply method and does not require manual charging; 2. Battery power supply: Normally, the ETC battery can last for 5 years. ETC is an electronic toll collection system that does not require stopping. The ETC dedicated lane is for vehicles equipped with ETC on-board units, using electronic toll collection methods. The ETC non-stop toll collection system is a more advanced road and bridge toll collection method. Through the dedicated short-range microwave communication between the on-board electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane of the toll station, and using computer networking technology for backend settlement processing with the bank, the purpose of vehicles passing through road and bridge toll stations without stopping to pay tolls is achieved.
