TACTICS & ACTION

Two systems : Passive ActiveTechnologies Considered:Video ImagingRadio Beacon SystemGlobal Positioning Satellite SystemTwo Gantries based system

Functional Requirements

No manual paymentNo need to slow at entry pointsPassing of vehicles simultaneouslySelf check of smartcards, systemWarranty against manufacturing defectsDraws the power from vehicle batteryTrace the vehicles up to 150km/hr and

straddle the lanes

PLANNING &ACTIONS (1989-1993) Cabinet shows green light to ERP Tenders invited for ERP project Team of representatives studied the project High level transport panel formed. Five contractors short listed. Government calls for re-tender Government decides smart card system. Five consortium short listed Government plans manual pricing system until ERP

PLANNING & ACTIONS(1993-1997)

Cash card introduced in pilot project.Tender modified.Final bidding for ERP system.New tests.Road pricing starts on ECP.Bidding for IU and gantry installationMore test conducted.Road tax structure revamped.

Principles of Governance

Core principles of Spore’s transport planners: Sound economic solutions – A world-class transport systemneeds to be founded on sound, market-oriented solutions Adaptability & responsiveness – Constant innovation inanticipation of & in response to changing situations Sustainability – Our transport solutions need to be

economically, socially & environmentally sustainable. Long-term planning is key.

Involving people – We need to engage and consult ourstakeholders

METHOD OF PROCURING ERP SYSTEM

Invitation to technical and coasted proposals

A successful contractor chosen

Better deal from tenders obtained

System Qualification Tests

Final System Proposal submitted for approvalSQT conducted from Dec 96 to Aug 97Initial SQT was helpful in pointing out the

weaknesses of the systemResolution of these problemsSimulation of traffic problemsSmart cards made more robust

ERP Configuration

OutstationIn vehicle unit (IU)-compact and battery

poweredIn vehicle unit(IU)-Color codedCash Card

ERP Gantry at control point

Types of Invehicle Units (IU)

Colour-coded for different types of vehicles Uses passenger car unit (pcu) for fixing

charges Car = 1 pcu, Motorcycle = 0.5 pcu,

Truck = 1.5 pcu , Bus = 2 pcu

CashCards (for payment)

A pre-paid stored value ic chip card managed by a consortium of local banks

Top-up cash at Automated Teller Machines and petrol stations

ERP Control Centre

24-hour monitoring of street equipment Settlement of financial transactions with

CashCard provider at end of each day Processing of violations and errors

IU FITTING PROGRAMME

10 Month ProgrammeRegistered vehicles issued with noticesIU unit positioned and fixedProblems associated with IU fittingsProblems identified and rectified

PUBLICITY FOR ERP Pamphlets were distributed to all vehicle owners which

explains the working of ERP,IU installation & working and cash card system.

Advertisement through radio, newspapers, TV channels posters

Test drive is conducted for ERP before 3 months. Vehicle owners were advised to check the correct

working of IU and Cash Card. LTA set up few IU clinics on the last few Sundays before

ERP was implemented which helped the public to get awareness of the new system.

Motorists had few problems when ERP started like poor battery connections, poor working IU units.

CHANGE MANAGEMENT

Planning is required for innovative change from manual road pricing to ERP.

All redundant signs was removed and the new signs put in place.

Old manual road pricing gantries to be removed.

Real test runs were conducted with different classes of vehicles to ensure correct deduction and correct workings of ERP charge table.

VALUE CREATION OF PROCESS

The fitting program for the gadgets(IU) has to be planned carefully and executed without causing unnecessary hassle to the motorist.

Much effort has to go in educating the users and help remove some of their unfounded apprehensions.

Motorists feedback taken seriously and to help them if they got any problems with the equipment.

Traffic monitoring is necessary to keep eye on traffic flow and take remedial measures if needed.

Lessons Learned

Sell road pricing as a part of a total transportation package

Use proven technology Make it simple and publicise Safeguards to prevent tracking Logical method to change rates Provide convenient alternatives Make provisions for foreign vehicles Road pricing is viable

ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION

In 1998 ERP implemented to reduce traffic congestion

Very efficient and Up-to-date technology Met the objectives with Better traffic flow with good speed Traffic congestion reduced by 20% A shift towards public transport Revenue is used to develop transportation needs

CONCLUSION

In 1970s ALS was the result of high traffic volume in City centre

In 1998 ERP replaced ALSERP was 100% successfulIn 2010 the number of travel need will

become 14.3 millionsIn future “one monitoring system” replace
