Remote Monitoring Solution of ETC Equipment
Applications and Cases
Key Takeaways
Rn face of distributed ETC sites, InHand Networks offers a remote monitoring solution for ETC equipment, helps better manage and maintain those devices, reducing traffic congestion and improving travel experience.
Background
ETC systems automate toll collection on roads, bridges, and tunnels using wireless identification and transaction processing, reducing delays, staffing needs, and operating costs. But managing many distributed toll sites is difficult: each runs independently, on-site staff can’t fix every issue, and centralized teams may not respond fast enough. Centralized monitoring, maintenance, and management are essential to prevent faults, congestion, and service outages.

Solution
The system consists of the field automation equipment (RSU, cameras, lane controller), InHand communication devices (ISE2008D industrial switch and IR315 industrial LTE router), and the traffic dispatch center.
Lane control equipment such as the RSU, railing machine, and ground sensing coil is connected to the lane controller through the ISE2008D switch. Data collected by the lane controller and the snapshot camera are transmitted to the management center by the IR315 industrial router through VPN over 4G cellular networks. The management staff can monitor the real-time road flow, keep a record of vehicles that do not pay, and guide traffic in case of congestions. They can remotely check the status of ETC equipment and respond timely to faults, and through preventive maintenance, reduce downtime and maximize equipment life.
