Electronic Toll Collection (ETC)

Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) is a system that automatically charges vehicles for using toll roads, bridges, or tunnels without requiring stopping or cash payments. It uses electronic devices like RFID tags or transponders installed in vehicles, which communicate with roadside sensors as the vehicle passes. The system then deducts the toll fee from a pre-linked account or charges it to the vehicle owner, ensuring a smooth flow of traffic and reducing congestion. ETC enhances efficiency and convenience for drivers by eliminating the need to stop at toll booths and handling payments electronically.
