Highway charges have been paid mainly by cash payment and ETC (non parking electronic toll collection system). Since this year, some of the highways in Guilin have also begun to pilot mobile payments, and more and more payment means and mobile payment channels are also available. It is understood that the number of mobile payment channels in Guilin Expressway ranks the highest in Guangxi.
Use mobile payment channel to be in the forefront of Guangxi

It is understood that in May last year, Guangxi took Nanning around the city highway as the first pilot section of the pilot section to carry out the pilot work of mobile payment, and this year started a large area. In addition to Guilin, we have already opened the pilot work of mobile payment in Nanning outer ring, Cangwu to Yunan, Majiang to Wuzhou, miling (Hunan and Guangxi) to Hezhou, Guigang to Wuzhou.
The earliest mobile payment in Guilin was GUI three expressway. In January this year, 2 mobile stations were set up for mobile payment. According to the relevant person in charge of the operation Department of GUI three company, since April, 36 channels of 8 toll booths under the jurisdiction of the company have been used for mobile payment across the board.
Zixing Expressway started in February 5th, and all 18 export channels of the 5 toll stations across the whole line have also achieved mobile payment.

"At present, 13 toll stations on 4 expressways have 26 export channels and mobile payment is launched." Zhang Youfang said, in addition to the conventional WeChat, Alipay payments, but also support the cloud flash payment and a part of the UnionPay APP payment.
It takes only a few seconds for the time to pass
25, the reporter came to Guilin North toll station, there are 7 exits, in addition to a ETC channel, there are 3 channels to support mobile phone mobile payment.
The reporter saw that the mobile payment is used for freeway charge special scavenging equipment, each of which has two scavenging devices, one under the toll window, about 1.2 meters high from the ground, and one at the top of the toll window, about 2 meters from the ground. According to Gan Huanjun, the toll collector station, the two devices were set up for small cars and large trucks, in order to facilitate drivers to sweep yards. "We are currently supporting three kinds of mobile payment methods: Alipay, WeChat payment and cloud flash payment."
Reporters at the toll booth observed for more than ten minutes, and found that many drivers would choose mobile payment. Is mobile payment really faster? The reporter did the test on the scene. In the case of no advance preparation of cash and mobile phone, a car owner passed the pass card to the toll collector to find the change to complete the payment. The whole process was 24 seconds, while the other owner used the mobile payment, and the length was less than 10 seconds.
According to Gan Huanjun, through more than ten days of statistics, in general, the use of mobile payment vehicles decreased from 14-20 seconds to 3-5 seconds, and the speed of traffic increased to 4-5 times that of the original.
Next, the "license plate payment" will be promoted.
With the emergence of mobile payment, the proportion of vehicles using cash payment and ETC payment has also changed.
The reporter learned from Guangxi Guangxi three Expressway Co., Ltd. that each toll station supports mobile payment for more than 3 months. At present, there are about 46% vehicles using ETC and mobile payment in two non cash payment methods, of which mobile payment is about 18%-20%. Staff said that mobile payment was launched shortly, but now mobile payment owners are more and more.
On the Zixing expressway, the vehicles use mobile payments every day from 10% to 15%, using ETC to pay about 35%, and cash payments about 50%; Guilin high-speed, Guangxi, Guiyang and Yang Ping high-speed, mobile payment vehicles account for 15% to 20%, ETC payments are 25% to 30%, and cash payments are about 55%.
According to industry analysis, the highway is still mainly paid in cash, but the proportion of mobile payment and ETC is increasing. Zhang Youfang said that the next step will continue to open more mobile payment channels according to the traffic flow and the feedback and demand of the staff.
People in the industry said that the local area has implemented the "license plate payment", that is, "no sense of payment", only to download the APP, the license plate entry, without installation equipment can achieve no parking fees. This combination of mobile payment and ETC may be a trend in the future. "Next, the Guilin company will further promote the research and innovative application of the mobile payment, such as the automatic deduction of the license plate payment, the non cash unattended self-service payment, the non parking mobile payment and so on." Zhang Youfang said.
