Nguyen Manh Thang, Deputy General Director ofthe Directorate for Roads of Vietnam, said the expressway was already equippedwith a smart transportation system that has now been integrated with ETCtechnology, which is useful not only for management but also for traffic flowand the promotion of cashless payments.
Thirty-two of the 62 toll booths on the expresswayhave been installed with the ETC system.
Initially, only one will apply electronic tollcollections completely while the remainder will combine both manual andelectronic collection methods. The number of booths using only ETC serviceswill be increased at a later date.
