What steps were taken by NHAI regarding tolling systems based on satellite technology
Exploring the advancements in toll collection methods introduced by NHAI.
- NHAI has implemented a satellite-based tolling system called 'FASTag' to enable cashless transactions at toll plazas across India.
- FASTag uses Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to deduct toll charges automatically from the linked prepaid or savings account.
- This system reduces waiting time at toll plazas, enhances efficiency, and helps in seamless traffic management.
- NHAI has also integrated FASTag with GPS technology to track vehicle movement and ensure accurate toll collection.
- By promoting digital payments through FASTag, NHAI aims to reduce traffic congestion, fuel consumption, and air pollution on highways.
