PWD Decides to Install Sensors in Vehicles for Auto-Payment on Toll Nakas

The public works department will introduce an experimental model of the self-payment sensors on toll nakas in the state. The toll workers on the highways have been advised to establish the new system to enable trouble-free activities and thus saving manual workforce and time.

According to Chhagan Bhujbal, public works department minister, the model scheme will be introduced on the Pune-Ahmednagar-Aurangabad-Jalna road and will be operative at the earliest. He stated that the toll operators are directed to install the sensors soon and the system implementation will be under their management.

The minister explained that the system will be operated on a pre-paid basis and the sensors installed on the vehicles will facilitate the operators to debit the toll amount directly from the account of the vehicle owners.
