What system does highway ETC refer to?

[McTyler]

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 RFID tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna on the ETC lane at the toll station, using software networking technology to conduct back-end settlement processing with the bank, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicles passing through bridge toll stations without stopping to pay tolls. Banks install this type of ETC express card with the principle of 'pass first, pay later'. ETC application conditions are as follows: Provide the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle license, and the photocopy of the driving license needs to include the page with the most recent annual inspection seal; Credit card application form, this credit card is used to bind the ETC card. After obtaining the credit card, swipe it twice and use the POS slip to collect and install the ETC on-board device for free at designated outlets, with no charges during the process; Be between 18 and 60 years old; Own a car under personal name. Below are precautions for installing ETC: Do not block the view, it's best to install it behind the interior rearview mirror: Many car models have a large rearward tilt angle of the windshield, resulting in a smaller driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it will increase the driver's blind spot. Install it behind the interior rearview mirror on the right side to avoid blocking the view. Do not affect charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power, but generally does not need charging or battery replacement because it has a solar panel on the back that can charge itself. Therefore, avoid installing it on the blackened areas of the windshield or positions that may block the solar panel. Do not remove it arbitrarily once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After the electronic tag is installed, 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, requiring a visit to an ETC service point for unlocking. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. Precautions for using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the vehicle in front; The recognition speed for ETC lane passage is 20 kilometers per hour. Driving too fast may prevent reading the vehicle device information, leading to charging failure; When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance will also cause charging failure.
