To facilitate a seamless movement of traffic across all toll roads in India, IHMCL (owned by the National Highway Authority of India - NHAI) has started a nation-wide program of Electronic Toll Collection. This program, based on RFID technology, aims to implement, unify and interoperate the ETC solution for National Highways in India.
Concerning the NHAI guidelines and compliances, Tecsidel has proposed an independent solution for the ETC only lanes, namely:
ETC only lanes that include vehicle detection through recognition of the RFID tag status, which guides the vehicle through specific ETC lane exits. If the tag is not recognized or detected by the system, the vehicle is guided lane where the vehicle fee has to be paid in cash.
Integration with the Central Clearing House (CCH) includes the sharing of ETC transactions from the Tecsidel system to Central Clearing House (CCH) and vice versa.
