Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi announced that the open payment toll collection system utilising Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology has now entered the Request for Proposal (RFP) stage. He made the statement during his visit to the slope repair project on the FT006 route, Section 40.84 of Jalan Balik Pulau–Teluk Bahang, on Saturday.
“The implementation of the barrier-free toll system is expected to be finalised next year, as we do not wish to rush the process and must pay close attention to detail given its major implications for various stakeholders,” he said. Nanta added that a business-to-business (B2B) approach would be adopted for the system’s rollout.
The ANPR system functions by identifying vehicle registration numbers through high-precision cameras, enabling cashless digital toll payments. It also supports e-invoice generation, transaction verification, and a range of mobility-related services through an integrated digital platform. Users will only need to register online using their personal identification, vehicle details, and preferred payment method.
Nanta further noted that the Works Ministry had conducted an extensive study on intelligent transport systems (ITS), drawing insights from several developed nations. “I have just returned from South Korea with representatives from the Public Works Department and the ministry,” he said. “We have also visited other countries several times to observe how they implement ITS.”
Meanwhile, Touch ‘n Go Sdn Bhd (TnG) has unveiled its next-generation open payment mobility ecosystem, featuring several home-grown innovations in tolling and mobility technology. One of the highlights is Titan Flow, a fully integrated end-to-end MLFF platform developed by Malaysian engineers. The system combines RFID as its primary detection technology with ANPR and 3D LiDAR, all enhanced by artificial intelligence for real-time vehicle classification and improved enforcement accuracy.
