this is great

will we still have tolls or are the scanners fast enough that we dont have to slow down? because the RFID things I saw at the tolls now seem to need the driver to slow down...

I believe it can be done... Sg is doing it, using Mitsubishi's system if I am not mistaken

Nope. It is RFID. Short-range radio. It is common knowledge. I thought I was wrong, but it appears that you are the one who is wrong.

"The Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology used also allows an automatic deduction of congestion charge on any vehicle passing under a road pricing gantry during its operating hours. As charges are levied on a per-pass basis, motorists are more aware of the true cost of using their vehicles."

nah, both countries will use RFID. what is this nonsense about difficult to sell and sticks permanently to screen. are you one of those types that keep your Smartag hidden? Sensible people just sticks the holder onto the windshield

Can't let your grandparents be the stumbling block to our progress.

Well we all have to constantly change otherwise we will be left by advances of technology. My parents are in their 60s and they both have smartphones and use them very very well. People who refuse to adopt to changes around them have no rights to complain.

Noted. I hope their age does not hinder them from driving properly though. Plenty of accidents involving old people due to their degraded physical nature like eyesight, muscular strength, and reflexes too.

I think checking balance on their phone is the least of their concern - and other road users as well

Btw, if this new system can link your CC to the tag, that would be nice. You will never run out of balance. In Australia, the tolls are "postpaid", unlike our prepaid systems.

no no, they are discussing "checking balance only on smartphone". Someone raised concerns about not being able to check the TNG wallet balance if there are no battery in the phone nor mobile internet

It is a valid concern, but something you can rectify yourself like bringing a usb cord to charge the phone.

for the time being. it will likely be like singapore's RFID system which is a free flow.

i think the testing phase the RFID lane is shared with T&G lane

once all the kinks have been ironed out it will be as free-sailing as SG's system

SG system is using RFID and it is fast.

It is not about the number, it is about the ability

In the west they are discussing having old people go for basic driving exams every few years. Skills, reflex, and strength degrade over time. If you are a danger to the other road users you have no business driving.

Guys, just a quick one... the RFID is linked to your TnG wallet right?

so what would happen if you need to go through tolls without the RFID booths? Use normal card-based TnG? So you would have to maintain 2 wallets eh?

can do that? okay. thank you. was wondering about that.

So if i tie the TnG to the wallet, the balance for this wallet would be displayed on both the card AND the wallet itself?

Guys, quick question, sounds stupid but I am just jumping in.

If I link my TNG to my ewallet, and I go through MEX (certified RFID and ewallet thing...?).. would the toll deduct from my ewallet first or from the TNG?

ok makes sense. that is what we experienced yesterday

followup:

if MEX requires RM3.50, but I only have Rm2 in my wallet, but about RM10 in my TNG (that I used to tag with). What would happen?

eh? this contradicts what V12Kompressor said.

I assume for PayDirect enabled tolls, what V12 said is accurate?

Negative amount should be acceptable. In Australia their tolls will simply bill the account at the end of each month

So am i seeing this right? There is only one place left, that is in WP KL to install the RFID?

Believe it or not, my new car masuk workshop. I just got it yesterday after a week and now I checked back the website and turns out there was only one location?

So help me ler, can I go back to the original Cyberjaya location (where I installed RFID to my two Protons) for the installation on my new car?
