A Mobile Electronic Toll Collection for E-Commerce Applications

This paper establishes a new mobile electronic toll collection (m-ETC) by integrating mobile communication with radio frequency (RF) communication on microprocessor control with an e-commerce business model. A simple ETC system architecture and protocol for e-transactions from vehicles to toll stations is proposed to complete toll interaction on wireless environment. A software flow through Internet is developed to link from toll station roadside units (RSU) to car units. A car unit (CU) for vehicle, a pair of roadside units (RSU), and an e- Center are established. A data flow and an interaction protocol are created. The proposed m-ETC system can be applied to different toll/charge systems with appropriate hardware and software. Some simulation test results verify basic system performance on ETC applications. A new business model for the proposed m-ETC is organized and discussed with feasibility analysis in e-commerce demonstration

-Eventually QTRH ETC/IRD could be the part of E-comerce/E-comerce.  Great potential..

That is, in part, why there is e-commerce and payment systems with QTRH's management/BoD.  The I/O Hubs will play a central role in transactional revenue.

the information was 2008? Whay has changed?

It's been moving through the continuum from fantasy to reality Socrates.  These things always take longer than the techies and visionaries estimate.  I know because I worked on transactional internet portals in finance, health and travel in 1995...waaaay too premature. The E-ZPass I/O hub contract, won by ETC earlier this year, was valued at ~US$21M.  Apart from a stellar
