Is Bluetooth Required for ETC Driving?
1 Answers
When using ETC on highways, there is no need to turn on the car's Bluetooth or mobile phone Bluetooth. The ETC junction box installed in the car has a short-range communication response system inside, which automatically communicates with sensors on the road, and neither the car nor the phone needs to turn on Bluetooth. ETC is currently provided by 8 domestic manufacturers, and some ETC terminals can only be installed via mobile Bluetooth during installation, but Bluetooth does not need to be turned on during use. ETC is the abbreviation of Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply for ETC, the owner needs to provide valid ID and vehicle license in original and copy. If the application is not made by the owner, the agent's valid ID is also required. The copy of the vehicle license needs to include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp; a bank card for deducting highway tolls; the applicant must be between 18 and 60 years old; and the vehicle must be registered under a personal name. Documents required for company vehicles: Introduction letter from the vehicle owner (with official seal); copy of the organization code certificate or business license (with official seal); original ID of the agent; original vehicle license; vehicle that needs ETC. How ETC works: Through the on-board electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield, it communicates with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane of the toll station, and uses computer networking technology to settle with the bank in the background, allowing the vehicle to pay the highway or bridge toll without stopping when passing through the toll station. Benefits of installing ETC: Save time: Avoid the hassle of queuing and waiting; Green and environmentally friendly: Green and low-carbon, vehicles passing through the toll station without stopping can reduce noise and exhaust emissions and pollution; Save wear and tear: Save costs, reduce the frequency of vehicle starting and braking, reduce wear and fuel consumption, users can enjoy toll discounts; Improve efficiency: The ETC lane passing efficiency can theoretically be increased by 2-3 times or more, making traditional ETC updated, faster, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.
