FASTag: Important information for car owners. The nation's highway toll collection system is about to undergo a significant transformation. FASTag will be replaced with a new system. Union Minister Nitin Gadkari recently made a significant revelation about the FASTag and toll system, which has the potential to fundamentally alter how tolls are collected on the nation's roadways. During a show on Monday, Nitin Gadkari stated that no one will have to complain about the toll if the central government's new toll policy is put into effect in the next 15 days. I won't say anything about it for the time being.
A toll system based on GPS will be implemented
The present FASTag system will be replaced by an On-Board Unit (OBU) gadget fitted in cars as part of the GPS-based toll system. This gadget will use Global Navigation Satellite System, or GNSS, technology to follow the vehicle's movements. OBU will record the distance traveled by a vehicle while it is traveling on a highway. The appropriate toll amount will be determined and taken straight out of the driver's digital wallet or bank account.Read more: India's Current Petrol and Diesel Prices: A City-Wise Update
The FASTag to GPS journey
In 2016, FASTag (Electronic Toll Collection) was implemented in India, enabling you to pass through the toll plaza without pausing. Fastag was created with the intention of saving people time. This makes use of RFID (radio frequency identification) technology. The scanner that is set up at the toll plaza scans a tag that is placed on the car's windshield.The automobile crosses the toll without stopping since the toll is automatically deducted. However, there have been a number of issues in recent years, including large crowds, technological difficulties, and tag misuse. The administration is concentrating on the current system in light of all these issues.
