The Bengaluru-Mysuru expressway is set to become one of the few national highways without toll plazas. The NHAI is working on a plan to use Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology to collect toll charges on the newly upgraded national highway, an official said.
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) currently uses ANPR technology on the Delhi-Meerut expressway and will gradually roll it out on other expressways and national highways. The Bengaluru-Mysuru expressway will be among the first few to get it.
Under this system, toll charges are deducted from FASTag based on a vehicle’s entry and exit as captured by ANPR cameras.
