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

 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 installation a huge incremental market.

 

In order to improve the efficiency of logistics industry, transportation departments in different provinces have been guiding and encouraging local freight transportation enterprises and individuals to install ETC devices. For example, Jiangsu Province recently has nearly 40,000 trucks equipped with ETC devices in July, with total number reaching 151,200.

 

Solid Foundations on ETC Technology Enable Genvict to Expand ETC Application Boundaries

 

Genvict, as the pioneer intelligent transportation systems companies in ETC industry, attended the drafting of China's ETC standard. In the course of more than ten years of development, Genvict's ETC products and solutions have been successfully applied in 30 provinces nationwide, supporting by continuous innovation, mass production and solid R&D capabilities.

 

Currently in China, there are more than 200 million ETC users, which lays solid foundation for the ETC application extending from highway tolling to other scenarios. Genvict has been working and making huge investment on the development of ETC+, V2X and other new business lines. We are the first in the industry to propose "from ETC to V2X" development path, making ETC as a digital transportation infrastructure to connect with the future V2X new era. In Genvict's new strategic plan, it is clarified that Genvict will continue to focus on ITS and IoT industry and to deepen and strengthen ETC+ (application extension, such as ETC refueling) and ETC-X (technical fusion to create smart car and smart road) development lines.

 

The ETC market in China now foresees unprecedented incremental space. And with further development of networked ETC system, ETC applications will penetrate from highway tolling to more vehicle-engaged scenarios, making mobility smarter and life simpler!

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...

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. Electronic...

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...
