Govt plans to remove toll plazas from highways
By MYBRANDBOOK
The government is moving ahead with a plan to remove toll plazas across India’s national highways and instead rely on automatic number plate reader cameras which will read vehicle number plates and automatically deduct toll from the linked bank accounts of vehicle owners.
Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari said that a pilot of this scheme is underway and legal amendments to facilitate this transition are also being moved. With the use of ANPR cameras, the congestion at toll plazas is likely to reduce further, but it would totally depend on the implementation of the system.
Currently, about 97 percent of the total toll collection of nearly Rs 40,000 crore happens though FASTags. It takes about 47 seconds per vehicle to cross a toll plaza with FASTags and more than 260 vehicles can be processed per hour via electronic toll collection lane as compared to 112 vehicles per hour via manual toll collection lane.
An industry insider said that more than one technology will be required to ensure the system is foolproof and there are no leakages. He further said, “The ANPR camera is accustomed to reading nine numbers of the number plate and, if there is anything beyond that – like something written on the number plates that we typically come across in most vehicles in the country — the camera will not read it.”
