Soon, you may have to pay highway toll based on distance actually travelled

Geo-fencing to map vehicle route; pilot run expected on Delhi-Mumbai highway

Each time a vehicle pays toll on a national highway, its movement may now be mapped for the distance it travels on that road. This will be done to charge toll in proportion to the road used by that vehicle. 

A pilot run for such ‘geo-fencing’ on the Delhi-Mumbai highway is expected to begin in the next couple of weeks after the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways and the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) finalise theproposal of charging toll based on the distance travelled. 

Geo-fencing uses global positioning system or radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies to create a virtual geographic
