The new ERP 2: Can it be used for enforcement?
The ERP 2 system uses Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology, with the on-board unit (OBU) detecting when a vehicle passes an ERP charging location to calculate the applicable ERP charges. It can also be used to pursue distance-based charging, if the Land Transport Authority (LTA) eventually decides to.Given how GNSS works, some motorists have discussed the possibility of the ERP 2 system being used for enforcement, such as speeding-related offences — especially after the Republic increased penalties for speeding offences earlier on Jan 1, and with the upcoming revision to the Driver Improvement Points System.
