KUALA LUMPUR: Tech solution provider Green Packet Bhd is set to run Malaysia’s first proof of concept (POC) multi-lane free flow tolling system at local expressways next year.
In a collaboration with Taiwan’s FETC International Co. (FETCi), Green Packet said the tolling system – using a gantry that allow cars to just drive past without stopping – will be installed at Besraya Highway KM5.5 (northbound) and is scheduled for a three-month data collection starting early 2022.
In a joint statement today, Green Packet said that under the partnership with FETCi, the Malaysian company will provide the funding, local insights and expertise in fintech payments.
“FETCi, being a radio-frequency identification (RFID) and free flow tolling expert that has implemented multi-lane free flow systems in other Asian countries, will provide the front-end equipment and expertise in its implementation.
“The POC multi-lane free flow system is a critical process to achieve a congestion-free highway state through better traffic infrastructure, as stipulated in the works ministry’s intelligent transport system blueprint,” said Green Packet.
According to the statement, data collected from the POC during the three-month period will be shared with the relevant authorities and stakeholders, with the primary aim to prove and validate the feasibility of using the system.
“The data and insights are valuable for the eventual roll-out on Malaysian highways, in line with the government’s roadmap for smoother traffic,” it said. - FMT
