Singapore’s 918 Land Transport Authority (LTA) is expected to call a tender for the installation of the next generation of electronic road pricing (ERP) system as early as the first half of 2014.

Although there is potential for it to go island-wide, initially the ERPII system will utilise the current network of some 70 gantries, charging drivers each time they pass a gantry.  If all goes well, a satellite-based system, which charges motorists for the distance they travel in the priced zones, will be up and running before 2020.

The tender follows an eighteen month trial in which four teams participated; 6372 Watchdata Technologies and Beijing Watchdata System, 5151 ST Electronics and 62 IBM Singapore, MHI engine System Asia and NCS, and 4984 Kapsch TrafficCom each secured US$796,849.82 in funding to take part in the trial.
