Environmental Cost-Benefit Analysis of Satellite Toll Collection System in India

Abstract

This article assesses the ecological expenses and advantages of using satellite toll collection systems in India. The study evaluates the effects of satellite toll systems on emissions, transportation flow and resource efficiency by analyzing secondary data. The results suggest that implementing satellite toll collection systems can lead to notable environmental advantages, such as considerable decreases in CO2 emissions and enhanced traffic flow. These benefits, when combined, contribute to improved air quality and reduced fuel usage. Nevertheless, the report also highlights significant environmental drawbacks, including the energy consumption required for satellite operations and the difficulties related to electronic waste. The overall environmental impact remains favorable, endorsing the implementation of satellite toll systems as a sustainable substitute for conventional approaches. The article offers suggestions for policy and practical application, as well as guidance for future research.
