![]() ![]() It’s a waste for car buyer to get a new car with that device (same goes on current Myvi G3 with Smarttag. Meaning that not all user will use toll road everyday. high population with toll road only in Klang Valley, not for other states especially S’wak & Sabah. to build a gate on the road will become a BIG BIG messy to road user, they have to eliminate that with seamless tech like the ERP. most of the cars / bikes, anything rolling on the road will use the ERP almost everyday small country, easy to setup the facility / gantry all over the country i’m not oppose anybody but my opinion is solely from what i’m thinking. Let see from the other point of view, but 1st of all dont get me wrong. Its implementation has been delayed twice, first from end-2020 to end-2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, then to the second half of 2023 as a result of the global semiconductor chip crisis. Singapore will switch to a new ERP system next year, ditching the RFID gantries in favour of GPS-based payments, using a new on-board unit (OBU) provided for free. The cost of an IU – mandatory for new cars – dwarfs the controversial RM35 required for Touch ‘n Go RFID self-fitment stickers, at S$155.80 (RM480) a pop. ![]() The device is powered by the car’s electrics, enabling better detection using the overhead ERP gantries. The difference between Singapore’s RFID system and ours is that the island nation utilises an active transponder called an in-vehicle unit (IU). “Due to cost constraints and implementation that will burden the people, this system will not be in Malaysia.” He added that most advanced countries with MLFF systems use RFID.Ĭonfusingly, the minister also said that the government decided against implementing a “barrier-free toll system” like the one used by Singapore for Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) – itself an RFID MLFF system – as it would be prohibitively expensive for Malaysian consumers. “RFID technology compared to the infrared technology used for SmartTAG devices is the more appropriate choice because it uses radio waves that have wider detection limits, in addition to a lower cost,” he argued.įadillah reiterated the now-familiar refrain of the system being in line with the ministry’s aim of introducing multi-lane free flow (MLFF) tolling, which is set to be fully implemented by 2025. Staying on the topic of radio frequency identification (RFID) for toll payments, works minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof said the current system implemented by Touch ‘n Go was chosen over competing platforms due to its low cost, according to The Star. ![]()
