Does passing through ETC scan the license plate or the device?
1 Answers
Passing through ETC scans the device. The onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield communicates with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane of the toll station via dedicated short-range communication. This process utilizes computer networking technology to perform backend settlement processing with the bank, allowing vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping while still paying the required fees. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Promotes low-carbon travel by reducing noise and exhaust emissions as vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, thereby minimizing pollution; Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs by decreasing the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, lowering wear and fuel consumption. Users also enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees; Improved efficiency: Theoretically, ETC lanes can increase vehicle passing efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC systems more updated, faster, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.
