One-piece ERP 2.0 unit for motorbikes cannot be used in cars due to 'greenhouse effect': Chee Hong Tat

For motorcycles, the OBU components - a processing unit, an antenna and a touchscreen display - are integrated into a single unit. SINGAPORE: The one-piece ERP 2.0 on-board unit used for motorcycles cannot be used for cars, as the “greenhouse effect” within a car can make it too hot for such a device to be placed on the dashboard.

“If you think about the physics of it, in an enclosed environment with glass, it is like a greenhouse … which will cause the interior of the car in an enclosed space to be warmer,” replied Mr Chee. For the footwell of a car, he added, temperatures can go up to 38 to 39 degrees Celsius and on the dashboard, as high as 50 to 52 degrees Celsius.

“I don't think motorists will want a very big and bulky one piece unit on their dashboard. It would not be the right design,” he said.Mr Chee also responded to another question by Dr Lim on the installation of the processing unit at the driver's footwell ever since the Land Transport Authority Mr Chee added that early adopters who had installed their processing unit on the passenger side could opt to switch it over to the driver’s side without charge.

He too, like many early adopters, had concerns about reaching his payment card conveniently if he had to use complimentary parking tickets.
