Getting Closer

 Delhi-Jaipur highway (NH-48) and Bengaluru-Mysuru expressway will be the first two stretches where GPS-based tolling system will be introduced ensuring commuters pay user fee for just the number of kilometres travelled, reports Dipak Dash

It's interesting to see the developments in toll collection on Indian highways aligning with your 4-year-old blog's suggestion about a GPS-based system for calculating the TRANS-TAX.

The recent news about GPS-based tolling on the Delhi-Jaipur and Bengaluru-Mysuru stretches does indeed point towards the technical feasibility and implementation of such a system.

The fact that preparatory work has started and better geo-fencing
is being done to ensure accurate calculation of the stretch travelled and toll
payable is a positive step.

The utilization of GPS technology for toll collection aligns with the concept of continuous monitoring of vehicle movement and traffic parameters, as you had suggested in your blog.

It's encouraging to see the government's initiative in this
direction, as it not only streamlines toll collection but also has the
potential to reduce congestion at toll plazas. The mention of over 18 lakh
commercial vehicles already equipped with GPS-based tracking systems supports the practicality of implementing such a system.

Your blog's foresight in proposing an Integrated Logistic Plan with
GPS-based tolling seems to be getting closer to reality with these recent
developments.

It will be interesting to see how this new system evolves and if it leads to further advancements in the transportation and logistics sector.
