"Electronic number plates" with the capability to give out information
about a vehicle as it passes through a tool booth, are being tested in Nogoya,
Japan. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport plans to test the
plates next year. The license plates will be equipped with a chip that carries
information about the vehicle such as license number, vehicle inspection certificate
and fuel efficiency. The Nagoya trial will also include information about car
owners who are physically handicapped or elderly. The information will be collected
by antennas as the vehicles pass the toll booths and will potentially be used
to calculate different toll rates.
Tolls are like additional taxes and never matching with equivalent savings to the users. This is true for India.It is like building expensive five star hotels and forcing the people to spend with out any alternative.The local users are worst affected leading to lots of litigations.
