Electronic Toll Collection Systems - A Global Update of Market Trends & Opportunities

http://www.reportlinker.com/p0164582/Electronic-Toll-Collection-Systems---A-Global-Update-of-Market-Trends--Opportunities.html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=prnewswire

The global Electronic Toll Collection Systems has witnessed substantial growth in the current decade. The industry is moving ahead at a significant growth rate. Toll operators across major markets continue to convert existing tolling roads and deploy advanced ETC systems in new road development projects. Amidst the backdrop of growing vehicular population and transportation, governments worldwide are increasingly employing electronic toll collection as an effective means to reduce congestion, vehicular emissions, and long queues at the toll plazas. On the technology front, toll collection has witnessed a gradual evolution. From manual toll collection in the 1990s, technology has evolved to electronic toll collection (both infrared and DSRC-based).

These and other market data and trends are presented in "Electronic Toll Collection Systems: A Global Update of Market Trends & Opportunities" by BizAcumen, Inc. Our reports are designed to be most comprehensive in geographic coverage and vertical market analyses.
