Abstract(in English) ETC (Electronic Toll Collection system) operated on expressway is building a system using wireless communication to collect toll automatically without stopping a vehicle. NEXCO-East has a lot of heavy snow areas and operates various facilities to against the impact of snow trouble on expressway.
