Understanding Dubai's smart toll system technology

The Technology Behind Salik

Salik uses advanced RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology to provide a seamless toll payment experience. Here's how it works:

1

RFID Tag Installation

Your vehicle is equipped with a small RFID tag that is mounted on the inside of your windshield. This tag contains a unique identifier linked to your account.
