The auto industry in India is constantly changing, and now new technology is coming into toll collection as well. The government has planned to introduce Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) to replace the traditional methods of toll collection.

What is GNSS technology?

GNSS is a satellite based system, which will include a satellite unit to be installed in vehicles. With the help of this system, the authorities will be able to easily track when the vehicle used the toll road and when it left. As soon as the vehicle exits the toll road, the system will automatically calculate the toll amount and get the payment done.

Features of GNSS technology

• Accuracy of payment : The biggest feature of this technology is that passengers will pay only for the distance they have travelled. This will help passengers pay the correct amount.
• Elimination of traditional toll booths : With the advent of this technology, the old toll booths will also be removed, where there were long queues. This will make the process faster and convenient.

Testing and implementation

Currently, GNSS technology is being tested on two major highways in India:

1. Bengaluru-Mysore National Highway (NH-257) , Karnataka
2. Panipat-Hisar National Highway (NH-709) , Haryana

The government has not yet announced the official launch date of this technology, but as soon as the tests are successful, it will be implemented in a phased manner. The introduction of this new technology will help in making the toll payment process simple and transparent, which will also provide relief to the commuters.
