Learn deeply and use Tianjin Action | Reduce congestion! More than 20 parking lots in Tianjin support ETC charges.

Jinyun News:"ETC payment is successful, bon voyage!" A car leaves the tianjin railway station underground parking lot without stopping, and the license plate recognition and ETC automatic fee deduction can be completed within 3 seconds.

"I came to the station to pick up people. When I left the parking lot, three cars were in front of me, but the vehicles left the scene almost without stopping, which reduced the links of parking, code scanning and payment. ETC automatic deduction is very convenient." Mr. Zhang told reporters.
It is understood that tianjin railway station underground parking lot is divided into front square parking lot and back square parking lot. The front square parking lot has 702 parking spaces and the back square parking lot has 345 parking spaces. The front square is dominated by Liuwei Road exit and Jianguo Road exit, and the back square is dominated by Xinzhao Road exit. Tianjin railway station underground parking lot upgraded its underground parking system from April 1st, updated its intelligent parking machine and added ETC charging device, and began to operate on July 1st.

"In tianjin railway station, the parking peaks are usually from 17: 00 to 19: 00 and from 21: 00 to 23: 00. Instantaneous traffic congestion will cause a short-term parking jam at the exit of the parking lot, with a maximum of nearly 20-30 vehicles. It takes about 1 minute for each vehicle to charge, settle accounts and get invoices, and it takes about 20-30 minutes for the car to pass normally." Li Peng, the person in charge of the parking lot management of Tianjin Jingui Commercial Management Co., Ltd., said that they completed the equipment upgrade without affecting the current operation situation, and all exits of the parking lot were upgraded uniformly, adding the ETC non-stop charging system, which greatly improved the operation effectiveness and effectively alleviated the short-term congestion caused by the centralized departure of railway passengers before the upgrade. Since ETC was put into use, there has not been a large-scale car crash.
The reporter learned that after the upgrading of the underground parking charge system in tianjin railway station, the parking charge methods are more diversified, including not only ETC automatic charge, but also scan code payment such as UnionPay, WeChat, Alipay and manual charge, bringing more convenience to the citizens.

As the main application side of ETC technology, Tianjin Municipal Transportation Commission has taken the initiative to connect the six districts in the city with the municipal health and health commission, the municipal education commission, the municipal bureau of commerce, the municipal bureau of cultural tourism and other departments, actively expand the application scenarios of technology, and organize and promote the construction of ETC payment function for key congested parking lots. At present, more than 20 parking lots with ETC payment function have been built in the city. The ETC parking projects cover transportation stations, hospitals, commercial areas, cultural and tourist attractions and other key areas of people’s livelihood, such as Binhai International Airport, tianjin railway station, Tianjin West Railway Station, General Hospital of Medical University, Airport Cancer Hospital, National Convention and Exhibition Center, Huayuan Road Side Parking Lot, Jizhou Cave Scenic Area, Hedong District and wanda plaza in Binhai New Area.
"At present, the proportion of ETC transactions in various parking lots is about 40%, and the average transaction time is significantly shorter than that of traditional payment methods, which effectively improves the operating efficiency of parking lots and reduces the congestion of parking fees." Chen Yue, a staff member of the Highway Center of the Municipal Transportation Commission, said that in the next step, Tianjin will continue to expand ETC application scenarios on the basis of promoting ETC parking lots, focusing on people’s livelihood areas, such as parking congestion in hospitals and other places, and at the same time, try to actively try and expand roadside parking and other scenarios around car payment.
