ETC Options
For smart toll road settlement
What is ETC?
ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) is a system in which an antenna installed at a toll gate on a toll road communicates wirelessly with an on-board device to identify vehicle type, traffic section, etc., and perform authentication and payment.
It allows convenient and efficient driving by automatically paying tolls without stopping the car.
Advantages of ETC system

There is no need to stop at the toll booth, and you can pass through smoothly without preparing the cash or credit card.
