Singapore’s Land Transport Authority (LTA) has commenced trials for the next-generation Electronic Road Pricing system, known as ERP 2.0, focusing on its location-based charging capabilities. Utilizing Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology, the new system aims to transition from physical gantry-based toll collection to a more flexible, distance-based pricing model. The ongoing trials are designed to evaluate the precision, reliability, and technological readiness of the satellite-tracking system under real-world traffic conditions across the city-state.
- The Land Transport Authority (LTA) is trialing the ERP 2.0 system, which leverages satellite-based tracking technology.
- The new system utilizes the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) to monitor vehicle locations, reducing the reliance on physical gantry infrastructure.
- The technology enables a potential transition to distance-based charging, where motorists are charged based on the actual distance traveled in congested areas.
- Current trials are focused on assessing the system’s operational reliability, tracking accuracy, and network stability in diverse urban environments.

Just use a spoof system
ERA will charge you at $0 I been doing that
ERP is the most reliable system in Singapore, but they never report that.
The OBU should shout "siam ah!" when ERP zone is ahead.
Next up distance based road usuage levy 😅
park road shoulder and Gamble kena LTA fine or not… Trial ma, try lah
