Electronic toll collection means drivers do not have to slow down or stop in order to pay their toll.  Rather than paying cash at a tollbooth, roadside equipment will automatically detect and identify vehicles.  The information will be fed to the back-office system and the toll is deducted from a pre-established account or invoiced to the vehicle owner.

In comparison with conventional tollbooth operation, electronic tolling reduces delays, environmental impact, safety risk and vehicle operating costs.  Electronic tolling also means that one administration system can manage all of the tolls, meaning less duplication of tasks, greater economics of scale and lower fees to the driver.
