The paper studies the actual state of application of ETC in Chinese highways and expressways. According to government's preference policy: invests, who manages and who benefits, Chinese expressway forms the distinctive characteristics: closed toll roads linked by sections, segment by segment. Toll gates, especially built in the mainline, are main bottlenecks of highway. The factors that affect capacity of highway are pattern of toll collection system, payment ways, vehicle classification methods, and so on. The improvement for throughput of existing toll systems is not very efficient. The better way is to introduce regional and mixed Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) to China. We discuss the feasibility and the kernel problems of application in Chinese situations. For the covering abstract see IRRD E102946.Read More
