Satellite-based Toll Collection Initiative

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has initiated the process of implementing a satellite-based toll collection system by inviting bids from interested parties. This new system, aimed at enhancing efficiency and transparency in toll collection, represents a significant shift from the traditional methods. Keywords: NHAI, satellite-based toll collection, bids, efficiency, transparency, traditional methods.

The proposed system will leverage satellite technology to monitor and collect toll charges from vehicles based on the distance traveled on national highways. This method is expected to reduce congestion at toll plazas, decrease travel time, and minimize fuel consumption. Additionally, it aims to eliminate the issues associated with manual toll collection and RFID-based systems, such as long waiting times and potential revenue leakages. Keywords: satellite technology, monitor, collect toll charges, distance traveled, national highways, reduce congestion, travel time, fuel consumption, manual toll collection, RFID-based systems, waiting times, revenue leakages.

NHAI?s move towards a satellite-based system aligns with the global trend of adopting advanced technologies to streamline transportation infrastructure. Several countries, including Germany and Switzerland, have successfully implemented similar systems, demonstrating their effectiveness in improving toll collection efficiency and user convenience. Keywords: global trend, advanced technologies, transportation infrastructure, Germany, Switzerland, effectiveness, toll collection efficiency, user convenience.

The initiative is part of a broader strategy to modernize India?s highway infrastructure and support the government?s vision of a digitally empowered transportation network. It also reflects NHAI?s commitment to leveraging technology to enhance the user experience and optimize operational efficiency. Keywords: modernize, highway infrastructure, government?s vision, digitally empowered, transportation network, NHAI?s commitment, leveraging technology, user experience, operational efficiency.

Interested bidders are required to submit their proposals detailing their technical and financial capabilities to implement and manage the satellite-based toll collection system. The selection process will consider factors such as technological innovation, cost-effectiveness, and the ability to ensure seamless integration with existing infrastructure. Keywords: bidders, proposals, technical capabilities, financial capabilities, implement, manage, selection process, technological innovation, cost-effectiveness, seamless integration, existing infrastructure.

By transitioning to a satellite-based toll collection system, NHAI aims to set a new benchmark in highway management and pave the way for future technological advancements in India?s transportation sector.

Not Just Glass Boxes!

India is moving away from the ‘glass box’ syndrome, all-glass façades that were widely used in commercial buildings in the last two decades but came at a significant environmental cost given the country’s predominantly hot and humid climate. Poor thermal performance, excessive heat gain and dependency on mechanical cooling systems made buildings with glass façades energy guzzlers and significantly increased their carbon footprint.That said, it’s important to be aware that “glass is not the enemy,” points out Heena Bhargava, Architect, Architecture Discipline. “How it is used ma..
