•About 30% of congestion on expressways is caused by a shortage of toll gate capacity.•ETC displays its congestion elimination effectiveness by enabling automobiles to pass through without stopping, increasing the processing capacity of toll gates.

•Congestion at tollgates on the Metropolitan Expressway has been eliminated through an increased ETC utilization rate.

•Reducing personnel costs of toll collectors resolves the problem of the high operating cost of toll gates at the same time as installation costs are cut by the simplified IC structure.

•Smart IC that were tested by field trials beginning in 2004 gradually came into full use beginning in October 2006, and are in operation at 31 locations nationwide on April 1 2007.

•Beginning on November 1, 2006, full-scale operation of this service started on expressways nationwide, installing the system on about 50,000 motorcycles (the end of August 2007).

•The results of the trial involving 200,000 motorcycles have confirmed the safety of the service and good operation of the communication equipment. It was also confirmed that the ETC service has a lot of benefits to use and that 96% of the users want to continue using it.

Reasons for wanting ETC use to spread to parking areas

Pulling vehicle over to ticket issuing machine and calculating

machine

Leaning out of the car to operate the

machines

Receiving tickets and pushing buttons

Preparation of parking ticket and coins when settling the

payment

Ticket issuing and calculation time

Waiting to exit parking area

It would be convenient if vehicles could enter/exit the area more

quickly It would be convenient if drivers did not have

to pull their cars over to the ticket issuing and calculation machines.

Cashless payment would be convenient

It would be convenient if it could be used at more parking areas in addition

to expressways In the future, when I am elderly, it will be

easier to enter/exit parking areas
