MINISTER OF THE STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RAOD TRANSPORT & HIGHWAYS (SHRI R.P.N. SINGH)
(a) to (d) Yes Sir. Nationwide interoperable Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) is proposed through interconnection of all toll plazas with one Central Toll Clearing House using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Tags on the vehicles for seamless travel across the Toll Plazas in the country. This will result in reduction of traffic congestion at the Toll Plazas. The system envisages capturing of the user fee revenue automatically and evolves a database on traffic, audit trails and vehicle tracking.
(e) No, Madam.
(f) Does not arise. |
