The document discusses the launch of two mobile apps - My FASTag and FASTag Partner - to facilitate electronic toll collection (ETC) in India.
My FASTag is a consumer app that allows users to easily purchase and recharge FASTags for ETC from their mobile phones. FASTag Partner is a merchant app for business partners like banks, dealers, and agents to sell and activate FASTags, including converting existing RFID tags to ETC-enabled FASTags. These apps aim to address current challenges with ETC adoption by simplifying the processes for users and merchants.
2. Electronic payment of highway tolls without human
intervention. ETC systems use vehicle-to-roadside
communication technologies to perform an electronic
monetary transaction between a vehicle and the toll
collection agency.
