RFID system to be extended to southern region of India early next year

The Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology system will be extended to several highway toll plazas in the southern region in India early next year. Director-general of the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM), Datuk Mohd Shuhaimi Hassan said this is following pilot tests conducted at nine toll plazas in Kedah and Penang in July 22.

RFID has been implemented and tested at 62 open-toll system plazas since Jan 1 this year, including the North-South Expressway (PLUS), Malaysia-Singapore Second Link (LINKEDUA) and Shah Alam Expressway (KESAS).
