What is the purpose of the motor vehicle electronic identification?
2 Answers
Motor vehicle electronic identification is used to achieve vehicle identity recognition and dynamic monitoring in high-speed motion states, along with traffic flow monitoring, and to promote intelligent urban traffic management. Motor vehicle electronic identification, also known as the electronic ID card for vehicles, stores license plate number information in a radio frequency tag, enabling automatic, non-contact, and non-stop vehicle identification and monitoring. The working principle of motor vehicle electronic identification is as follows: when passing through checkpoints, major intersections, or locations equipped with roadside units, the ultra-high frequency electromagnetic waves emitted by the card reader are received by the electronic license plate, converted into electrical energy to activate the chip. After verifying the identity of the card reader and other information, the chip sends the required data back to the card reader, which then transmits this information to the command center.
I've been driving for years, and the electronic identifier is just a small chip in the car, mainly used to identify the vehicle. It's especially convenient for automatic toll payments at highway toll stations, eliminating the need to stop and queue, saving time and effort. It's also used for anti-theft purposes—if the car is stolen, traffic police can quickly locate and track it. In the city, parking lots and traffic cameras use this to automatically monitor violations, such as running red lights or not wearing seat belts. The system directly takes photos, records fines, and makes roads safer. I think it offers many benefits to drivers, reducing a lot of hassle and avoiding cash transaction errors. In the future, it might integrate with mobile payments to lower vehicle usage costs. In the long run, it also promotes environmental protection, optimizes traffic flow to reduce congestion, and lowers emissions. It's truly a must-have for modern driving.
