MTI Support, GNSS-Based MLFF Toll Payment System Make Transactions Faster and More Precise
Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Indonesian Transportation Society or MTI assessed that the application of the contactless toll transaction system or multi lane free flow (MLFF) based on the satellite navigation system (Global Navigation Satellite System / GNSS) will make toll transactions faster and more precise.
"By using a smartphone device, toll road users will no longer need to be charged additional fees, so the economic nature is clear because the speed to attract payments is much faster and more precise," said the Head of Transportation Science and Technology Implementation Division, Syafri Yuzal, when contacted by Antara in Jakarta, Monday.
According to Yuzal, the toll road business is an electronic toll collection or ETC, how to attract or collect revenue from transactions that occur.
If you look at the old days when toll transactions were still using cash, vehicles entering toll gates faced very long queues that caused pollution, used up fuel and wasted energy.
Then the cash transaction system on toll roads was replaced with a touch or tap and go system that uses an e-toll card.
Later when the toll transaction system switches to this GNSS-based contactless toll system, there will be no such thing as a toll gate so that vehicles crossing the toll road just walk and payment will occur automatically via devices such as smartphones, onboard units and / or travel tickets. .
"The application of the MLFF toll road will give birth to various derivative businesses such as e-parking and logistics applications, considering that one of the advantages of the MLFF toll road device is using a smartphone," said Yuzal.
Regulation of the Minister of Public Works and Public Housing (Permen PUPR) No 18/2020 concerning Non-cash Toll Transactions on Toll Roads states that one of the criteria for using non-cashless toll transaction technology or multi lane free flow (MLFF) is that it must be in accordance with the purchasing power of toll road users. .
Article 5 paragraph 1 Permen PUPR No. 18/2020 states that non-cashless toll transaction technology on toll roads must meet the requirements, namely having a certification license and a class permit, having gone through an information system security test in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations, and meeting certain criteria.
Then, Article 5 paragraph 2 states that certain criteria include, among others, the purchasing power of toll road users.
Previously, Chief of Representative of Roatex Ltd Hungary Musfihin Dahlan said that in time, every vehicle or toll road user will be introduced to the e-OBU smartphone application device or onboard unit (OBU) or a road ticket for those who only go one way. It will also recommend a number of inexpensive OBU devices to the public with prices ranging from 5 to 7 US dollars.
The Ministry of PUPR has appointed Roatex Ltd from Hungary as the winner of the auction of the MLFF-based non-cashless toll transaction system through the PUPR Ministerial Decree Number PB.02.01-Mn / 132 dated January 27, 2021.
