Hi-Pass, the very green solution in Korean expressways

Around a toll plaza, Vehicles do such maneuvers as slow down, stop, and speed up to pay their tolls when they use ordinary toll gates. They can be expected more fuel consumptions compared to the vehicles which use the Hi-pass, a Korean type of Electronic Toll Collection System (ETCS). To measure the exact amount of difference between the two gas consumptions, the authors equipped a test vehicle with a measurement system and installed a model toll gate on their test field. Through the field tests on fuel consumptions, the authors could confirm a 36.7 % of energy saving when the test car used the Hi-pass. Then we projected the result on the total traffic volumes which had used national expressway network for five months from January 2009. Projected to the whole traffic, potential cost savings reached 5.34 billion won. The authors expect frequent quotations of this result to prove the fuel efficiency of the Hi-pass system.
