Installation for ERP 2.0 'complex', to take longer due to more options: Chee Hong Tat

Minister for Transport Chee Hong Tat addressed questions about ERP 2.0 at Parliament on Wednesday .The installation process for ERP 2.0 on-board units has become more complex due to the increase in options available to drivers, Minister for Transport Chee Hong Tat explained in Parliament on Wednesday .

Generally, it will take around two hours to install the OBU for most motorcycles, and four hours for all other vehicles, but a longer time may be needed for some, according to LTA's OneMotoring website. "But we think this trade-off is important because we do need to respect the individual choices of vehicle owners," Chee affirmed.

While the motorcycle - which isn't in an enclosed space - goes up to about 35 degrees Celsius, the footwell of a car can go up to about 38 to 39 degrees Celsius. "That's why I was very happy when LTA developed that feature where I could just 'deactivate' the card by pressing a button on the touchscreen display... I do not need to take my card ," he said, adding that LTA's recommendation is to use the touchscreen display - although the choice remains for individual drivers to decide.

Aside from the card 'deactivation' button, other improvements include expanding options for processing unit installation on the driver's side and enhancing user safety.
