ERP 2 data to be used for crime prevention and criminal investigations from Jan 2027
Data collected and utilised as part of the Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) 2 system can be used by law enforcement, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and Ministry of Transport (MOT) said in Parliament on Tuesday (Nov 3).While ERP 2.0 is designed primarily for road pricing, parliamentary replies on Nov 3 shed further light on how data from the system may be accessed and used for law enforcement and criminal investigations. Much like ERP 1, ERP 2 supports functions related to motoring, including the enforcement of laws and regulations, Senior Minister of State for Transport Sun Xueling said.She explained that although data collected on individual vehicles is aggregated and anonymised when transferred to LTA's backend systems for traffic planning and management, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) can retrieve location data from sensors and systems when specific vehicles need to be identified for enforcement purposes.
