The government is evaluating the implementation of a new toll system that uses Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) with the JustGo app to make highway travel faster and smoother.
Deputy Works Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan said PLUS Malaysia proposed the system as an upgrade to the Open Toll Payment System, which allows payments via cards or digital transactions.
“At present, the SPT has been implemented on 26 highways for open toll systems. Under this new proposal, ANPR will automatically detect vehicle registration numbers and process toll payments through the JustGo application,” Ahmad Maslan told the Dewan Rakyat.
The Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) is evaluating the system’s accuracy, speed, security, and reliability before any public pilot.
“These tests are crucial to ensure the system can handle high traffic volumes and support continuous toll operations without disruption,” he added.
The project is part of Malaysia’s wider multi-lane fast flow (MLFF) rollout, which allows vehicles to pass tolls without stopping.
Amendments to the Federal Roads Act 1959, the Road Transport Act 1987, and the Malaysian Highway Authority Act are expected next year, with LLM likely overseeing enforcement.
PLUS Malaysia has already begun pilot trials, while Touch ‘n Go demonstrated its Titan Flow system combining RFID, ANPR, LiDAR, and AI technologies.
