The unit can be installed at areas such as the passenger’s footwell and the driver’s footwell, subject to feasibility.
It added that four individual early adopters have contacted the authority for an appointment to assess if they can relocate their units. Several car dealerships told ST that they have each received zero to six unit relocation requests so far, with most customers deciding to keep their processing units installed at the passenger’s footwell after learning about the possible obstructions and the potential lack of suitability for certain car models, such as those with driver knee airbags.
A spokesperson for Lumens Group, which Kinto is under, said it is unlikely that Kinto will have relocation plans, unless there are complaints from hirers. Its operations manager Jason Lee said this decision was made after collecting feedback from its long-term drivers, who cited the inconvenience of reaching for payment cards at some privately owned carparks without the Electronic Parking System – especially when there is a passenger seated in front.
LTA said in its notice that the processing unit at the passenger’s footwell may be secured with very strong adhesive, and might leave some residue when removed for relocation. He noted that the salespeople would advise customers on the need to drill holes into the vehicle panel at the driver’s footwell, and the possibility of the processing unit heating up and hurting the driver’s left leg.
