Duta-Ulu Kelang Expressway (DUKE) concessionaire Ekovest has been privately testing its Multi Lane Fast Flow (MLFF) proof-of-concept (POC), The Edge
According to the publication, Ekovest has been conducting POC testing for the MLFF system with its technology partner Amtel Holdings Bhd since late 2022, as part of its initiative to reduce congestion and accidents on its highways. It is revealed that the group is still working to fine-tune the effectiveness of the system, and will be making the submission of its findings to the authorities involved when the time comes.
The OBU technology mentioned earlier is similar to the In-Vehicle Unit that’s used in Singapore, Amtel chief executive Chester Koid Siang Loong explains. It is said to consist of two key components: a camera-based system with number plate recognition for detection and enforcement, also known as Automatic Number Plate Recognition , and a battery-powered tag-based system for toll fare deduction.
Koid also assured that existing technologies such as SmartTAG and RFID would not be undermined in favour of newer approaches for the upcoming MLFF implementation. He believes all of these can still co-exist with one another in the future, with the aim of instilling and promoting healthy competition, as well as urging tech companies to continue to innovate and improve their products and services.
The Edge’s report adds that Amtel is also in talks with two other highway concessionaires to run the MLFF toll system pilot project. However, the identities of the involved companies were not disclosed.
