ANPR toll payment system launches on PLUS Highway in October
PETALING JAYA: The North-South Expressway (PLUS) will introduce an open toll payment system using Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology from October. The pilot project will cover the Hutan Kampung to Sungai Dua stretch in Penang. Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi stated that ANPR is the first phase before implementing the Multi-Lane Fast Flow (MLFF) system within two years. This upgrade aims to reduce congestion at toll plazas. 'This system allows motorists to pass through any lane without stopping, ensuring smoother travel,' he said. Nanta tested the system himself and confirmed its efficiency. No registration fees apply, and users can freely choose any toll lane. The minister shared these details after a demonstration of the barrier-free ANPR system at Persada PLUS. The system was developed by local highway experts without government funding. Initially, it will be tested at 13 toll plazas with 35 lanes before expanding nationwide. ANPR uses cameras to identify vehicle registration numbers for digital, cashless toll payments. It also offers e-invoice displays and transaction checks through a single platform. Motorists only need to register online with personal details, vehicle information, and payment methods. Toll charges will be automatically deducted from the registered account. If the account balance is insufficient, payment will be claimed later from the vehicle owner. Payments can also be made via the JustGo app, supporting e-wallets, bank cards, and Touch 'n Go. Nanta assured that no fees apply for registration or usage, and existing toll lanes remain available. - Bernama

Govt starts ANPR pilot at 13 toll plazas nationwide
SUBANG JAYA: Malaysia has begun testing an Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) tolling system at 13 toll plazas involving 35 booths nationwide, as part of preparations to implement a full-scale Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) system within the next two years. Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said the pilot project is a government initiative in collaboration with government-linked companies (GLCs) to pave the way for nationwide MLFF adoption. The trial, led by Plus Malaysia Bhd (Plus), is supported by the Works Ministry, the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM), and various highway concessionaires. "This ANPR initiative marks a strategic starting point for a more efficient, seamless and congestion-free MLFF system that we plan to roll out in the near future," he said. If successful, the pilot could see the MLFF system fully implemented across the country as early as 2027. Speaking at the launch of the trial at Persada Plus NKVE today, Nanta said the pilot represents a crucial milestone in Malaysia's move towards modern tolling. "I personally witnessed the demonstration today. "The ANPR open toll payment system clearly operates faster without requiring vehicles to stop," he said. The first live trial will take place along the Hutan Kampung-Sungai Dua stretch in Penang this October, before being expanded to the wider Plus network. The ANPR system uses high-speed cameras to scan vehicle registration numbers and link them to drivers' digital payment accounts. Users must register online via the JustGO mobile app, input their vehicle details, and link a preferred payment method such as a debit or credit card. Unlike RFID or SmartTAG, ANPR enables vehicles to use any available lane without stopping, tapping or slowing down, similar to Singapore's Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) system. "Drivers will no longer need to stretch out their arms to tap payment cards. "With ANPR, they can drive through toll plazas smoothly and without interruption," said Nanta. The JustGO platform also supports features such as toll transaction history, e-invoice access, and multiple cashless payment methods. While RFID and SmartTAG offer contactless tolling, both still require vehicles to slow down and use dedicated lanes. ANPR allows continuous movement through all lanes, easing congestion. Nanta said the pilot project comes at no cost to the government and was developed entirely by local highway industry experts. "I am proud that this system was built entirely by local talent, with no financial implications for the government. "It shows the highway industry is proactive, innovative and responsive to user needs," he said. Plus, which operates the 748km North–South Expressway and six other highways, is spearheading the trial to evaluate the system's performance under real traffic conditions. "We are starting with ANPR to assess its reliability and accuracy before scaling up. "The goal is to reduce congestion at toll booths and eventually eliminate physical barriers altogether," Nanta said. He said the ANPR system does more than scan number plates, it also incorporates camera and artificial intelligence (AI) technology to match each plate with the physical attributes of the vehicle. "For example, if someone swaps number plates between vehicles, the system can detect mismatches and prevent fraud or misuse," he said. Once a number plate is successfully scanned, the toll fare is automatically deducted from the linked account. Users can also connect multiple payment options in the JustGO app, including secondary and tertiary accounts. If one account lacks sufficient funds, the system automatically charges the next available one. "This greatly reduces the chance of failed transactions," said Nanta.

ANPR toll system with 99.98% accuracy set for rollout by 2027
PETALING JAYA: The government aims to implement a nationwide Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) toll system within two years, starting with the pilot deployment of a new Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology that boasts a 99.98% detection accuracy. A new toll collection system being piloted on Malaysian highways boasts a 99.98% detection accuracy, using advanced number plate recognition and vehicle-matching technology that the government says leaves 'very little room to escape.' The Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system, now undergoing pilot testing at 13 toll plazas across 35 lanes under PLUS Malaysia Berhad, uses high-definition cameras and AI to identify vehicles and charge tolls without the need for boom gates or lane barriers. 'This is a very tight system. Even if your number plate is unreadable, we'll still track you down. There's almost no way to avoid detection,' said Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi at a media briefing and live demonstration today. The system not only reads licence plates, but also cross-verifies them with the vehicle's make and model. This allows it to flag plate cloning attempts and mismatched registrations. 'If a plate doesn't match the vehicle's shape or registered data, the system flags it. 'Fake plates don't match the vehicle body. We'll know. We have methods to trace the real owner,' Nanta explained. For rare cases where detection fails due to obscured or damaged plates, ANPR is supported by manual verification and artificial intelligence. Non-compliant 'fancy plates,' which include decorative fonts or small lettering, remain illegal and could face enforcement action. 'If it's a fancy plate, you could be fined under existing laws. And we may ask you to change it,' he added. The pilot system is integrated with JustGo, a newly introduced digital platform where users can register their vehicle details and preferred payment methods. The platform supports credit cards, debit cards, and e-wallets including Touch 'n Go. Users can also link multiple accounts, enabling the system to automatically deduct from the next available source if the first fails. 'If none of your accounts have sufficient balance, we'll still detect the vehicle and follow up. You can't run,' he said. 'There will be no toll gates, no boom barriers. Just seamless flow. 'This system allows you to pass through any lane, at any speed,' Nanta further explained. He said he personally tested the system earlier in the day and described the experience as 'significantly faster' than existing toll methods. He also clarified that ANPR is not yet the full Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) model but serves as a foundational component. 'There are 13 toll plazas involved in the pilot right now. We expect to determine the system's readiness by September or October this year,' he said, adding that the entire project is led by the private sector without any financial burden to the government.
