In a major move towards barrier-free and congestion-free highways, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is exploring implementation of a Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) tolling pilot project on the 117-km-long Bengaluru–Mysuru Access-Controlled Highway (NH-275) soon.
The MLFF system replaces traditional toll booths with overhead gantries equipped with satellite-based GPS technology, high-performance RFID FASTag readers and Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras. These systems automatically identify vehicles and deduct toll charges at high speeds without requiring vehicles to stop, aiming to eliminate long queues at toll plazas.
