Testing for next-gen ERP to start in June

TESTS for a new generation electronic road pricing (ERP) to replace the current gantried system are set to begin in June 2011.

The Land Transport Authority has awarded tenders to four parties in order for them to carry out evaluation tests for their proposed solutions. According to The Straits Times, one such proposal may include a satellite-tracking system.


The four parties, Kapsch TrafficCom AB, MHI Engine System Asia and NCS, ST Electronics (Info-Comm Systems) and IBM Singapore, and Watchdata Technologies & Beijing Watchdata System, will receive funding of S$1 million each to "design, develop and demonstrate its technological solutions", LTA said.

Overall the tests will extend for one and a half years, during which on-road testing will be carried out as well to validate the performance. Roadside equipment may be installed as a result.

However LTA said the next-generation ERP system is "still some years away it is ready to be launched and implemented" as the project is in its "very early stages".
