Q. FASTag, recently seen in the news, works on which of the following techniques?
Answer:
Radio Frequency Identification
Notes: The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) recently introduced the 'One Vehicle, One FASTag' initiative, promoting the use of RFID technology for toll payments. FASTag, a vehicle-specific RFID passive tag, allows seamless toll transactions while in motion. Affixed on the windshield, it deducts toll fares directly from the linked prepaid or savings/current account. Non-transferable between vehicles, FASTag is available through National Electronic Toll Collection Member Banks, requiring periodic recharging for prepaid accounts.
