Nlatio Turbocharged June 30, 2010 Share June 30, 2010 Looks like its cumming.... http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/S...ory_547610.html THE Land Transport Authority (LTA) will soon call for tender to invite industry players to submit technical proposals for a second generation Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) system, Transport Minister Raymond Lim said on Wednesday. He said LTA has been studying various technology applications and has identified a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) as one of these which makes use of satellites to determine the position of a vehicle. Announcing this in his keynote address to the World Urban Transport Leaders Summit 2010 on Wednesday morning, Mr Lim, who is also the Second Foreign minister, said: 'The LTA will be conducting various technical tests to evaluate if the latest technologies available in the market today are accurate and effective enough for use as a congestion charging tool, especially taking into consideration the dense urban environment in Singapore. 'We expect the development and testing of new ERP technologies that are suitable for Singapore's conditions to take some years, before it is ready to be launched and implemented.' Mr Lim said since the ERP system was implemented in 1998, it has been functioning on a gantry-based system, which charges motorists as they pass under these gantries when they are in operation. 'This system has served us well. However, as the number of vehicles on our roads increases over the longer term, congestion will become more extensive. It may become impractical to continue installing ever more physical gantries to manage congestion. 'We will therefore have to explore other solutions that would enable a more effective approach to implement congestion pricing which will help reduce the dependence on physical gantries.' In his speech, the minister added that the government is also looking into the development and use of green technologies in Singapore, and is test-bedding clean technologies in the transport sector. Examples include energy efficient lighting for traffic and street lights, recycled materials for road pavement construction, and construction methods that minimise the impact on the environment. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theone2010 Neutral Newbie June 30, 2010 Share June 30, 2010 (edited) The flooding issue don't want to solve, so kanchiong spider want to study & implement GPS ERP system!!! I guess with GPS system, it will be able to tell driver where got flood, how to avoid flood & charge more??? Looks like "Charge by Mileage" system is the way to go, just like public transport, kicking off tomorrow. I guess ERP on KPE, erection of more ERPs, 10% for GST will surely kick off after the "il le grand" event. 我问天我问天 甘会冻麦创治 搁再爱你 折磨是我自己 我问天我问天 甘会冻麦创治 Edited June 30, 2010 by Theone2010 ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
