Singapore’s Land Transport Authority (LTA) has shortlisted three consortia to tender
for the development of the country’s next generation electronic road
pricing system to be used on congested roads, based on global navigation
satellite system (GNSS) technology.
The LTA said an 18-month system evaluation test that ended in
December 2012 showed “it is technologically feasible to develop a
GNSS-based road pricing system... (to) overcome the constraints of
physical gantries, which are costly and take up land space”.
However, concerns have been raised about how the technology might impact on privacy. In a statement issued in December 2013, the opposition Singapore Political Party expressed concern the satellite system would be used to track vehicles for "unwarranted surveillance".
