Genvict, Xinlian and Smartyoke Team up to Launch ETC Refueling System

图片
  Genvict  Technology, together with Xinlian Technology and Smartyoke deploys the "ETC refueling system" in Jinan gas station, another successful case right after Genvict launched China's first ETC refueling system in Shandong. The deep integration of ETC toll  and energy retail industry marks the start of a new era embracing "ETC+industry" applications.   Shortening payment procedure to enjoy speedy refueling service ETC refueling system functions through the short-distance wireless communication between on-board unit (in-vehicle unit) and the roadside unit (antenna) within the exclusive ETC refueling lane. Within 2 minutes, the refueling and payment can be done without getting off the car or physically paying the fee. The whole process is completely automatic.   Technological breakthrough enabling commercial application Genvict's ETC refueling system is capable of identifying vehicle information in the on-board unit accurately and in the meantime effective...

Genvict Seeks to Explore ETC Applications and Market by Leveraging High ETC Penetration Rate

图片
  According to the latest figure from the Ministry of Transport of the People's Republic of China, 64.09% of the vehicles passed through the tolling points via ETC lanes, with ETC utilization rate increased by 21.89% over that of the same period last year. Figure also shows that traffic congestion is significantly eased, as the congestion sections over 1,000 meters decreased by 11.3% compared with that of the same period last year.   ETC Penetration Rate Continues to Grow Due to ETC Pre-market Installation Policy and Truck ETC Promotion   On February 11, 2020, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Equipment Industry Development Center issued and made adjustments on the Review Requirements of the Access Administration of Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products. In the requirement, it states explicitly that from July 1, 2020, to apply for access, the new vehicle model must have ETC on-board unit added as optional configuration, which makes ETC pre-market ins...

What is Electronic Toll Collection?

图片
  ETC electronic toll collection  is an automatic toll system  applied to expressways, toll bridges and tunnels. Generally, the system collects the toll via wireless communication between in-vehicle transponders and roadside transceivers, and conducts settlement processing with banks via computer network. Vehicles therefore can pass through the tolling points directly without stopping to pay the toll.   Typical method for implementing electronic toll collection is tolling via wireless communication, while automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) is now starting to gain ground in some countries.   Tolling via wireless communication:   The system collects the toll via wireless communication between the roadside transceiver and in-vehicle transponder, which is the mainstream approach adopted in most of the countries. There are various types of wireless communication for tolling, ranging from dedicated short-range communication (DSRC), radio frequency identifi...

What is ETC Transponder?

图片
ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) transponder is a small wireless communication device installed in a vehicle for electronic tolling purpose. When the vehicle passes the toll point, roadside transceiver reads out data stored in the transponder, and then the system automatically deducts the toll payable.   At present, the electronic tolling technologies vary from country to country. What are the pros and cons of ETC transponders that adopt different technologies?   1. Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC): It is the mainstream technology for electronic toll collection, applied in countries such as China, Japan, Korean, Singapore and most European countries. DSRC technology has higher vehicle identification precision and is mature in tolling application, but it costs relatively high in terms of in-vehicle transponder (DSRC on-board unit/OBU).   2. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID): The world's first large-scale RFID-based tolling system opened in Taiwan in 2012. Th...

8 Benefits of Smart Parking

图片
  1. Convenience   Inconvenient parking experience may lead to customer loss for shopping mall and unpleasant frictions between drivers. Smart parking aims to save time and parking troubles, improving overall parking experience.   2. Real-time data   Real-time data and sensors of smart parking can be integrated into city-level traffic management system. The data can be used for traffic control purpose, especially during peak hours.   3. Traffic optimization   Detours will not be made when drivers know clearly where they head for. Therefore, traffic jam in the urban areas can be eased, which greatly optimizes the traffic flow.   4. Safety   Looking for available parking slot can be aided by smart parking technology. Drivers, therefore, can concentrate on driving itself to avoid traffic accidents other than being distracted by searching around.   5. Cost reduction   Traditional on-street parking may require investment in parking meters or ...

ITS Applications of UHF RFID Technology

图片
  Ultra-high Radio Frequency Identification (UHF RFID), with frequency band between 860MHz and 960MHz, is contactless and automatic identification technology that identifies and programs target (generally RFID tag attached on the object) without any human intervention. Its typical communication range is 4 to 6 meters, with maximum range over 10 meters. From technical and applicable perspectives, RFID tag is not a perfect carrier for storing large amount of data, but an effective means to identify targeted object in a contactless way.   Ultra-high Radio Frequency Identification is a practical and flexible technology that can work in harsh environment and is especially suitable for automatic control application. Currently, UHF RFID technology is widely used in fields like communication transmission, industrial automation, commercial automation and identity authentication, while long-range RF products are typically applied to intelligent transportation (ITS).   1.
