Online transmission "National highway does not use etc from May 1"? The truth is coming

Recently, a message that "high-speed no longer uses etc since May 1, you can avoid high-speed on the card with the license plate" has spread hot among the car owners, some netizens believe it is true, and even prepare to dismantle etc. In this regard, experts explained that some of the remarks on the Internet are actually a one-sided and inaccurate interpretation of the "mobile phone +" card-free convenience technology. Recently, the Ministry of Transport is carrying out the "mobile phone +" card-free convenient passage pilot in some provinces such as Jiangsu. This model adopts the principle of "pilot first, steady promotion", and is not a unified national launch on May 1, 2026. What exactly is the experience of "mobile phone +" without card access, and will it replace etc? Will there be issues with decks, billing errors, etc.? The Jiangsu pilot "mobile phone +" has no card access second-level lifting lever, automatic charging and manual toll lane on the highway in the past, it is different from the operation of parking and card taking and card returning. The "mobile phone +" card-free mode relies on mobile phones to provide services, records vehicle information with license plate recognition technology, and achieves "card-free, card-free" high-speed passage. Simply put, as long as you register through your mobile phone in advance, you can pass without feeling - the license plate recognizes the lifting lever, automatically deducts the high-speed charge, does not take the card, does not return the card, and even does not have to pull out the mobile phone. According to the Ministry of Transport, at present, local platforms such as Jiangsu "Jasmine Changxing" and Chongqing "Highway Code Uplink" have been piloted to provide vehicle owners with a preliminary card-free experience. In the guidance area of the front section of the Wuxi East Entrance of Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway, a vehicle owner quickly completed the activation and binding of the Jiangsu Expressway cardless travel applet under the guidance of the staff. Subsequently, the owner drove the reporter on the highway together, no longer needing to take the card, the gate was automatically recognized, the second level lifting lever was lifted, and the owner drove on the main highway without any additional operations. After 20 minutes drive, the car comes to the exit toll. In front of the exit gate, the vehicle passes directly without stopping, and the owner's mobile phone automatically pays the high-speed passage fee. According to reports, combined with license plate recognition, mobile payment and identity authentication, and vehicle and road cloud synergy technology, 9-seat and below small passenger cars in Jiangsu can achieve "mobile phone +" card-free access. At present, the number of registered people on the "Jasmine Mobility" platform of Jiangsu Expressway is 650,000, the average daily traffic volume has exceeded 20,000, the lane traffic time has been reduced by an average of 10 seconds, and the traffic efficiency has been improved by at least 30%. In the future, Yang Liang, deputy director of the National Unified Service Entrance Highway Bureau of the Ministry of Transport, will build card-free convenient access. "Mobile phone +" card-free convenient access will serve as a beneficial supplement to the existing charging models such as etc and manual charging. With its long-term parallel and coordinated development, the public can choose according to their own needs. In addition, the promotion work will strictly follow the prudent principle of "three first and three first", that is, "manual toll lane first, then etc lane", "first bus, then truck", "first export, then entrance", to ensure that the technology is mature, stable operation and then gradually expand, and finally build a new pattern of diversified toll services. According to the Ministry of Transport, under the pilot plan, the "mobile phone +" card-free convenient mode can be used to enter the highway in the pilot provinces and cities, and can be passed after card-free parking payment at any exit throughout the country. Subsequently, the scope of implementation will be gradually expanded according to the pilot situation. Yang Liang introduced that in order to solve the problem of geographical limitations of local platform services, the Ministry of Transport is accelerating the construction of a national unified "e-road unimpeded" service entrance, as a unified service hub for the whole network, to achieve user system interoperability and business data interconnection with provincial platforms. Non-registered users can complete the passage and payment at the toll station by scanning the code; registered users can enjoy the higher-level service of "automatic identification of entrance lifting rod and exit scan code payment". It is expected that the "e-way unblocking" platform will be completed in-house testing and open to all network users in the near future. In the future, vehicle owners can freely choose to use the ministerial platform or any provincial platform to access the national highway, and enjoy a standardized, unified and convenient "one-stop" service. How do I keep my payments secure? Regarding data security issues such as the application of license plates and payment account leaks that netizens are worried about, Yang Liang said that the focus will be on the two dimensions of data encryption and trustworthy certificates to establish perfect security protection for travel. Sensitive data such as users' identity information, payment information, and access data are encrypted and stored using domestic encryption algorithms, which is equivalent to adding an "anti-theft lock" to the information. At the same time, trustworthy certificate keeping technology will be adopted to ensure that everyone's passport data is complete and not tampered with, which is equivalent to keeping a "security code" for passport information. Through the security protection system of these two dimensions, we can effectively prevent data leakage, identify identity counterfeiting, reduce financial risks, protect everyone's information security and personal rights and interests, so that everyone can have a worry-free passage.
