Malaysia: RFID-based toll collection to be fully operational by 2020

The Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)-based electronic toll collection system is set to be fully operational by 2020. “Currently, over 8,000 law enforcement agency vehicles are helping test the system,” minister Fadillah said at launch of the Tun Razak Link (TRL), Duta-Ulu Kelang Expressway (DUKE) Phase 2, at the Sentul Tambahan toll plaza. Fadillah said it was likely the system would eventually replace the existing collection methods, adding the matter was being discussed between the ministry and Touch ’n Go.
