SINGAPORE:*The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has awarded the tender to build the next-generation, satellite-based Electronic Road Pricing system to the consortium of NCS and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Engine System Asia (MHI).
LTA awarded the S$556-million contract to what it called the proposal with the "highest quality score, lowest bid price and best value for money", it announced on*on Thursday (Feb 25).
Development on the new system will begin from the second quarter of 2016, with the aim of implementing it operationally from 2020. There will be an 18-month transition period during which the current system will run in tandem with the new one, the agency added.
NCS and MHI were one of three consortia that participated in the tender process. Local firm ST Electronics bid S$1.26 billion, while the consortium of Watchdata Technologies and Beijing Watchdata System*did not get to the bidding stage.
NCS maintains the current ERP system, which was built by MHI when it was first introduced in 1998.*
The agency first issued a tender in October 2014 to build a new ERP system based on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology, which charges motorists according to distance travelled on congested roads and removes the need for physical gantries. Mr Lui Tuck Yew, then the Transport Minister, said this would be a more equitable pricing method.
"Since introduction, the road pricing system has been effective in managing traffic congestion," said LTA chief executive Chew Men Leong on Thursday. "The next-generation road pricing system will allow us to improve on this and also allow us to provide more services for motorists' convenience."
NEW ERP SYSTEM AIMS TO BE UP AND RUNNING BY 2020
"It is not practical to continue with the current gantry system, which is almost two decades old and will become increasingly expensive and difficult to maintain," said LTA in a statement.
It explained that the new system would be fairer to motorists, and circumvent the financial and geographical limitations of physical gantries.
Other new measures LTA is considering include payment for off-peak motorists based on short periods of use rather than the whole day, as well as a new On-Board Unit (OBU) to replace the existing In-Vehicle Unit (IU). The OBU is capable of disseminating traffic advisories or electronically pay for parking and checkpoint tolls by using front-end CEPAS cards or backend GIRO, credit or debit cards.
The Government will foot the one-time IU replacement cost for Singapore-registered vehicles, LTA said.

Information About GPS Jamming
Jamming devices are radio frequency transmitters that intentionally block, jam, or interfere with lawful communications, such as cell phone calls, text messages, GPS systems, and Wi-Fi networks.
Jammers are illegal to market, sell, or use in the United States.
A single violation of the jamming prohibition can result in tens of thousands of dollars in monetary penalties, seizure of the illegal device, and imprisonment.
