In April this year, Indian Union Minister for Road Transport & Highways CP Joshi inaugurated a new era of electronic toll collection (ETC) in India when he unveiled the country’s first RFID-based tolling installation. This was at a recently-completed plaza at Chandimandir, near the city of Panchkula in the northern state of Haryana. The system is the first in the country to use charging equipment complying with the relatively new ISO 18000-6C standard (see panel).
The Chandimandir plaza controls traffic on the four-lane Zirakpur-Parwanoo section of National Highway Five, which also passes through Punjab and Himachal Pradesh. The three northern states, which lie west and north of the Indian capital of New Delhi, are due to benefit from 1167km of major road projects, valued at 150 billion Indian rupees (US$2.7bn), starting in the current financial year.
At the same time, Joshi launched an ambitious National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) programme for the rollout of new and upgraded interoperable toll plazas (using ISO 18000-6C based ETC) on major routes across the country. Toll charges will be deducted from pre-paid accounts. Specifications for future NHAI deployments will include requirements for interoperable on-board units (OBU).
