What is road pricing?
Road pricing is an economic concept regarding the various direct charges applied for the use of roads.
The road charges includes fuel taxes, license fees, parking taxes, tolls, and congestion charges, including those which may vary by time of day, by the specific road, or by the specific vehicle type, being used.
Electronic Road Pricing
Aim is to charge vehicles for the use of the road at times and at places of congestion
For congestion management
For raising road revenue
Every entry or pass under a control point is automatically charged a fee
About the system
The scheme consists of ERP gantries located at all busy roads & expressways with heavy traffic.
The gantry system is actually a system of sensors on 2 gantries, one in front of the other. Cameras are also attached to the gantries to capture the rear license plate numbers of vehicles.
A device known as an In-vehicle Unit (IU) is affixed on the lower right corner of the front windscreen within sight of the driver, in which a stored value card, the cash card, is inserted for payment of the road usage charges.
