LTA Begins Trials for ERP 2.0 Location-Based Charging

Date:

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.
