What does highway ETC refer to?

Highway ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) translates to electronic toll collection, which is a non-stop toll collection system. On highways, there will be one or more ETC lanes. ETC charging method: Through microwave-specific short-range communication between the onboard RFID tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna on the ETC lane at the toll station, the system uses networked technology to conduct background settlement processing with the bank. This achieves the purpose of vehicles passing through bridge and road toll stations without stopping to pay toll fees. Banks install this type of ETC express card with a post-payment system. ETC application conditions are as follows: Provide the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. The photocopy of the driving license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Fill out a bank debit card application form, which will be used to bind the ETC card. After receiving the card, you can go to a designated bank branch to collect and install the ETC onboard device for free, with no additional charges. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old and own a vehicle in their name. Required documents for company vehicles: An introduction letter from the vehicle owner (with official seal); photocopy of the organization code certificate or business license (with official seal); original ID of the agent; original vehicle registration certificate; the vehicle that needs to apply for ETC. Here are the precautions for installing ETC: Do not block the driver's line of sight. It is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a steeply angled windshield, which reduces the driver's field of vision. If ETC installation does not consider this, it may increase blind spots. Install it on the right side behind the rearview mirror to avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement because it has a solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, avoid installing it on the blackened areas of the windshield or positions that may block the solar panel. Do not remove it randomly once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This mechanism is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device.
