Darthrevan Supercharged May 23, 2013 Share May 23, 2013 Ideas for a satellite-based electronic road pricing system are being evaluated by the Land Transport Authority (LTA). Four consortiums submitted proposals after testing various technological solutions between June 2011 and December last year. The next-generation ERP, which Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew said is likely to be feasible but still several years away, could charge motorists based on how far they travel on congested roads. A spokesman for the authority said ideas submitted by the consortiums could form the base for developing the system. He added: "We will still need some time to review and evaluate the performance of the proposals... before we can make a final decision on the way forward."

Chucky2007 Turbocharged May 23, 2013 Share May 23, 2013 Can we as tax payer audit their charges? Can they ensure that the charges can be accurate? At times my car GPS loses signal.. so not sure what level of accuracy they can achieve, or ensure consumers that their charges are accurate? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stiener 1st Gear May 23, 2013 Share May 23, 2013 The better track the speed of cars. Road hoggers and speed demons can be issued a summon immediately. Fix a biometric reader replacing the IU so that the summon follows the driver instead of the car registration number. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazzi80 3rd Gear May 23, 2013 Share May 23, 2013 (edited) Speed demon yes, road hogger if you are talking about for e.g. 90km/h on lane 1 unlikely to be summon. Instead, I think lane 1 would be slower overall if they use this system for speed limit summon. Edited May 23, 2013 by Tazzi80 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Csxcsxcsx Neutral Newbie May 23, 2013 Share May 23, 2013 those who end up paying less, will probably pay 10% less while those who end up paying more will likely pay 50% more. all i can foresee for this exercise is an inordinate process of testing and installation which would be just a waste of taxpapers money. tbh i am fully expecting to pay more in the future and i would rather they just increase the ERP rates or even the fuel surcharges ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
