Q. With reference to the Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) tolling system in India, consider the following statements:
1.MLFF system is being implemented under the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).
2.It relies solely on RFID-based FASTag technology for toll collection.
3.Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras are used to identify vehicles that do not have valid FASTag.
How many of the above statements are correct?
Answer: B
Notes:
Explanation: 1 and 3
Statement 1 is correct: The Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) tolling system is being implemented by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) as part of its effort to modernize toll collection and eliminate congestion at toll plazas.
Statement 2 is incorrect: MLFF does not rely solely on RFID-based FASTag technology. While FASTag (RFID) is a major component, the system also uses Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras to capture vehicle details. This ensures toll collection even for vehicles without valid FASTags.
Statement 3 is correct: ANPR cameras are used to identify vehicles without valid FASTags and enable enforcement (such as penalty or post-paid tolling).
