The export lane fee display cannot display the total amount of the charge for the entire journey. A trip has received multiple segment deduction information ... The reporter was informed that the relevant units of the Guangdong organization have further optimized the system functions such as toll lanes and ETC gates. The upgrade has been preliminarily completed, and will enter the actual testing phase from April 14. "One trip, one bill, one deduction, one notification" is expected to be realized in the near future. (See "Information Times" on April 13)
The National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Transport issued the Implementation Plan for Accelerating the Implementation of Expressway Electronic Non-stop Fast Toll Application Services issued by May last year. By the end of December 2019, the number of ETC users in the country exceeded 180 million, and the ETC of highway toll stations was fully covered. . This move is to achieve fast charging without parking, improve efficiency, and reduce congestion. However, in the process of using ETC, many car owners have encountered "charge deduction troubles".
At present, the exit of the manual toll lane will display the full cost, but the exit of the ETC lane will not. According to officials of the Ministry of Transport, this is because the new online toll collection system is an offline system. To calculate the total toll at the exit of the ETC lane, it is necessary to call the toll record of the vehicle from each ETC mast system along the way. The time when the vehicle passes the ETC lane. In other words, the efficiency of the ETC owner ’s overall cost calculation is lower than the vehicle ’s traffic efficiency, and there is no way to provide it to the owner in time.
This has caused many troubles for ETC owners. For example, although it is possible to query fees through SMS push and APP, it is very troublesome to receive multiple segment deduction information on a trip, it is difficult to figure out how much money is deducted, there is There are no unauthorized deductions and may affect driving safety.
The "one trip, one bill, one deduction, one notification" function tested in Guangdong can be said to solve the above annoyances for "illness". This shows that as long as you are determined to solve the problems in the use of ETC, there is always a way. Then, other problems of ETC, such as the sudden increase and decrease of fees and the instability of the system, should be improved in the near future.
If the ETC “fee display function” tested by Guangdong can be successful, it should be implemented in the entire expressway network as soon as possible. On the one hand, after the abolition of highway toll gates across provinces across the country, if ETC in neighboring provinces does not have a unified "fee display function", Guangdong car owners will face certain troubles when traveling across provinces. On the other hand, ETC owners in other provinces across the country will also have troubles with regard to fee deductions. Such troubles will not be eliminated, which is not conducive to the promotion of ETC.
According to an official from the National Development and Reform Commission in January this year, ETC users nationwide exceeded 200 million, and the average utilization rate exceeded 70%.
If you want to continue to increase the number of ETC users and increase the average utilization rate of ETC, the most feasible way is to eliminate the existing troubles and improve the satisfaction of car owners. Therefore, other provinces should also upgrade and improve the ETC deduction function as soon as Guangdong, and the transportation department should implement “one trip, one bill, one deduction, one notification” in the country as soon as possible to strive for the enjoyment of all ETC owners Convenient and transparent public services are also intrinsic requirements for the government to improve modern governance.
