ETC is a non-stop electronic toll collection system, and ETC lanes are used by vehicles equipped with ETC on-board equipment. ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) electronic toll collection system is an automatic toll collection system for highways or bridges.

The vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the windshield of the vehicle communicates with the microwave antenna on ETC lane of the toll station in a special short distance, and the computer networking technology is used to make background settlement with the bank, so that the vehicle can pay the highway or bridge toll without stopping.

2065438+May 19, Dai Dongchang, vice minister of the Ministry of Transport, said that after canceling the provincial toll stations, it is necessary to ensure that the utilization rate of ETC reaches over 90% before the end of this year and ensure the smooth operation of the whole road network.

Extended data:

The promotion of ETC still faces many difficulties in convenience and scope of application, which leads to the low enthusiasm of car owners. ?

First, if it is not used frequently, the equipment fee is more expensive than the travel fee. The cost of handling ETC is between 200-350 yuan, but for car owners who only run high-speed once or twice a year, the utilization rate is very low and their enthusiasm for handling ETC is not high. Holidays are sometimes free at high speed, and occasionally by train. The number of times you can use ETC in a year is very limited, and the cost of running ETC is more expensive than the toll. ?

Second, the procedures are cumbersome and it is not convenient to pay by mobile phone. At present, ETC can not only buy equipment from expressway operators, but also apply for savings cards or credit cards in banks to obtain ETC equipment bound to cards. The reporter recently visited a number of banks in Jinan and found that in addition to carrying my ID card, driver's license and driving license, I should also carry this year's vehicle insurance policy.

Many banks still need to deposit some fees before giving away ETC equipment. Some bank cards do not need to deposit fees, and the card fee for one year is around 200 yuan. Some citizens who came to handle ETC business said that it was very troublesome to do it. ?

Third, the scope of use is small, and the function is relatively simple. In addition to high-speed toll stations, the application scope of Shandong High-speed ETC is also actively exploring areas of use, such as cooperation with parking lots and gas stations to provide convenience for ETC owners, but overall, the scope of use is not enough. ?

In view of the low utilization rate of ETC lanes and the low enthusiasm of car owners, relevant practitioners and experts suggest further strengthening publicity and expanding the scope of application. At the same time, it can enrich the means of highway payment and solve the problems of "slow traffic" and "difficult traffic" by diversified means.

In airports, railway stations, hospitals and other crowded places, as well as shopping malls, parking lots and other future can be combined to reduce congestion by paying without stopping.
