This in-vehicle unit by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries informs drivers when nearing a priced zone such as LTA's proposed ERP II system.

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) is expected to call a tender for the installation of the next generation of electronic road pricing (ERP) system as early as the first half of next year.

The Straits Times understands the satellite-based system - which can charge motorists for the distance they travel in the priced zones - could be up and running before 2020 if all goes well.
The first phase, however, is likely to merely replicate what the current 15-year-old system does: charging drivers each time they drive past an ERP gantry.
Although there is potential for it to go island-wide, the so-called ERP II system will initially cover the areas marked by today's network of some 70 gantries.

Anything that is man-made can be broken. Just takes some time to find the loopholes and weaknesses.

 

Like current ERP gantries, quite a number of people may have used fake plates and disconnected the IU, rendering any tracing of the vehcle owner impossible. LTA probably didn't announce these statistics to prevent more copycats.

 

It was also reported people stuffed a piece of cardboard between the contacts of the cashcard and IU so that the parking fees won't be deducted. It wasn't reported till a fix was found.

Is this the reason why most exits on commercial buildings now requires you to slot cashcard manually into their machines? At first, I thought they were so kind and thoughtful - to prevent those on complimentary parking ticket from being charged at exit.

Don't know about that, but was reported that they've already fixed the problem.

nope. what i heard was those machines which read and deduct from IU are much more expensive that those who read and deduct from cash card slotted into the machine.
