EU Road Charging
Road Charging Benefits of RAIN
RAIN is a core road charging technology that is used globally for a variety of road charging applications. It works handsfree, costs a fraction of other road charging technologies and since no battery is required for the transponder it is a very environmentally friendly solution and requires less maintenance. The technology’s flexibility allows for its use in a variety of form factors such as license plates, windshield labels, headlamp tags and more.
Along with road charging, RAIN technology offers a wide range of other applications in the transport and mobility sectors, such as Electronic Vehicle Identification (EVI), Electronic Vehicle Registration (EVR) Electronic Toll Collection (ETC), Smart City, access control into low emission zones and payment.
