Long-Term Economic and Safety Benefits Drive North America Electronic Toll Collection System Market
The toll collection centers are strategically placed toll plazas or collection units levied for tax collection, congestion management, maintenance fees for public infrastructure, and other revenue collection techniques. The volume of traffic flow plays a crucial role in determining the location of toll plazas and subsequently requires a robust and efficient toll collection solution. In the past few years, there has been a surge in congestion at toll plazas due to the increase in the number of vehicles passing through the tolls. Hence, the toll plazas lead to more fuel consumption for cars as well as increased vehicular pollution due to the congestion. Also, the delays generally caused at the toll gateways elevate the risk of vehicle accidents as well as safety, as many people try to compensate for the loss of time incurred by the congestion with fast driving. Due to such factors, an electronic toll collection is considered a competent alternate solution to the current manual toll for reducing the congestion at toll gateways and providing seamless transit transactions without the need for supervision.The electronic toll collection system operates as an account-based system that automatically classifies, identifies, and subsequently charges the automobile owner per agency regulations, eliminating the need to stop at the toll plazas. The efficient deployment of electronic toll collection (ETC) systems has several benefits, such as reduced congestion, congestion management, seamless transit transactions, vehicular pollution management, and intelligent transportation services at expressways. Thus, the long-term economic and safety benefits associated with electronic toll collection (ETC) systems are driving the market.
