RFID for highways ?

The Works Ministry is studying the possibility of carrying out the radio frequency identification (RFID) system in all highways.

This is to ensure an uninterrupted traffic flow at toll plazas,  which are always choked with long queues of vehicles, especially during  peak hours and public holidays.

 Minister Datuk Fadillah Yusof said Plus Malaysia Bhd  (PLUS) was conducting a study on the system as well as  getting feedback from several parties, including the public.

 “The use of RFID is still at the proposal stage. I understand  that the system is cheaper than the current SmartTAG. There  is a low usage of SmartTAG probably because it is ex pensive.

 “By using the RFID, road users will drive through the toll  gates which are installed with sensor to deduct toll charges.

However, the matter is still under study, including its legal  aspect,” he told reporters after launching the PSKLM In ternational Expressway Conference and Exhibition 2013,  here, yesterday.

  Meanwhile, Fadillah said the ministry would take the  necessary actions to address the problem at motorcycle lanes  at the federal highway in the Klang Valley.
  He said actions were aimed at enhancing its security level,  like increasing number of lamp posts along the lanes and  repairing several stretches which are inundated with water  during heavy rains.
