How Does Touch 'n Go RFID work on Malaysian Highways

Touch 'n Go has released the RFID toll payment system to selected users and we were one of them. This system is made to replace SmartTAGs and we decided to take it for a test run.

I remember a country from Europe, the RFID toll has no barrier at all. If the scanner not able to detect your RFID, they will use camera to identify your car and continue charge your e-Wallet.

[@sedaka3]

Europe tak apa la number plet seragam. Ni kat msia nombot plet mcm2 ragam...fancy bagai..cinonet pun ada.. camna nk samakan europe..

17/10/2018 Rabu. Saya antara 2nd batch pilot pasang di R&R Awan Besar. Sticker diletakkan di bahagian dalam windscreen. (Suatu kelebihan kereta yang tiada tint film) Jika kenderaan anda ada tint film, RFID tidak boleh ditampal dari dalam, sebaliknya akan di pasang di luar windscreen (jika tidak mengganggu frekuensi). Pilihan terakhir ialah di headlamp. Itupun jika tiada tint film. Kurang 3 jam saya telah mendapat sms yang mengatakan RFID sudah boleh digunakan. Kebetulan ketika iti saya sedang di atas NPE maka saya terus mencuba kali pertama di PJS2. Hasilnya amat berpuas hati. RFID bukan seperti gateless ERP Singapura. Maka tidak perlu laju-laju ketika memghampiri plaza tol. Lorong tu muat-muat sebuah kereta je, Lorong RFID di PJS2 agak luas maka saya mencuba pada kelajuan 45 km/j dan scanner berjaya dibaca. Namun ketika menggunakan Smartag, saya bawa lebih kurang 20 km/j saja, yang penting ialah dapat scan. Laju-laju nak pergi mana? Apapun, saya berbangga menjadi pilot tester. Kepada yang ingin melihat bagaimana rupa sticker RFID di kereta saya, sila WA 011-35297936.

[@stalkerrox]

I feel this doesnt make any difference to smart tag as u need to wait for the gate to open ( maybe its just a test phase ) ? They need to make it like australia which is gateless Its so damn ugly also if stick on the headlamp... why not just stick on the inside of the windscreen?

[@MASViper]

It is just a test phase, right?

[@Ang3lLouk]

cos the signal might be interrupted due to car tinted. which it shouldnt happen to RFID technology... the sensitivity seems very lowwwwwwwwww if need to stop like that there is no reason to change to RFID which the sticker is too exposed to public and we still live in Malaysia.

[@SuhaimiAmir]

they will remove the gate when it officially launched, car won't stop at all. now still in testing phase.

[@fareeznotfound]

can put on windscreen but recommended are headlights

[@aliasmastura6242]

right..if there is an accident and your car headlights are broken, how will RFID work?

[@ansulaiman9643]

Kudos to the 'Genius' who approved this and also the other 'Genius' who came up with this idea.. Sometimes imagination does not go hand in hand with practicality 😁

[@kelvinkuan8279]

If you go to Melbourne, the cars just passed by smoothly, there are no tolls at all. There are the infra red scanners from the top which scans the tag in the cars immediately without the need to stop at all ..

[@klgadgettv]

Give it time man, this is still in a trial run and they can't remove those toll plazas in such a short period.

[@kelvinkuan8279]

syazh1 you mean Singapore ?

[@WoWKingV595]

yup, melbourne is the best with that infra red system. Msia rfid is worse, i think they need to go out and see how other ppl system work so great

[@mafiaboy87]

Actually when LDP started years back they already had an RF tag system (FastTrack if memory serves). Then they were forced to adopt the archaic Infrared we have today.

[@nizammohd123]

yupp agree with u. even in Papua New Guinea they use RFID order food using drive-in lane.

[@Dr.Geeoff.99789]

I use this RFID daily....i think the main advantage is I don't need to top-up my card...just set auto reload via my E-wallet. No need to que for top up and no one will try to steal my SmartTAG unit. Almost 1 year already, RFID still working fine... And no one really peeled the sticker...don't think kids really attracted to and go crazy at someone headlights..hahaha

[@heyyo6965]

but what if they steal your rfid ? i mean its just a sticker tho.

[@RayMak]

It's a lot faster than smart tag. But still slow. I'll most probably knock the barrier flying away so far.

[@arttheseven5526]

Here in the Philippines we are also converting to rfid on all tollways. But here the detection point is near the barrier/toll house. You can only do I think 10km/h. Also there are 2 types of sticker used. One on the headlight and one on the windshield.

[@DannySee]

I thought the new PH government going to abolish toll? No? If yes, then this stuff going to DoA?!

[@seanliew7343]

Danny Photography PH will not going to abolish tolls anytime soon. It’s not about the contract but they refuse to do it.....maybe as for leverage?!

[@secretsimmy671]

Best presentation video with experiences....thanks for the lesson

[@feradaling]

would be good if an audible signal is attached to the rfid, it gives an additional senses to us on whether we should brake or continue on

[@eclectice]

Probably it can since it is a UHF RFID tag even though it is a passive type but considering the placement of the RFID tag, you won't hear the beep sound from the microchip

[@mobilegameplay3173]

I like efficient things like this

[@ervjo]

Sticker should b place inside the windscreen car. What happen if someone sabotage n remove rfid sticker without our knowledge, this create havoc right? Think again !!

[@rogeliosalazar6912]

Well said, nice one bro Thanks for the video..from the Philippines....

[@llie101]

Yes on the headlights its the furthest front of a car.... but the RFID beam is coned shape. So not much of difference in timing detection. Fixing at the top center of windscreen will be nearer to the toll sensor and less prone to vandalism. Esp cars with plastic headlights cover that fades over time that needs polishing

[@Sp0oney1]

If this is to be fully implemented, i wonder what will happen if suddenly all of the RFID lanes have issues (it will at some point), currently, if a smart tag lane is clogged up (toll booth issues, driver issues etc) u can always opt for the TnG lane (manually tap your card) but with RFID, what would be the alternative? Do we have to top up both TnG AND RFID then? That is just plain silly

[@Presso99]

use back TouchNGo card..haha, just standby

[@cwk18]

pakatan logic: why abolish toll when you can just abolish the barrier

[@quadworxaerial1030]

By looking at this video, PLUS should really revise their gate distance from the scanner. Put it further away and replace it with some early warning system like a row of red lights saying that the reader didn't manage to read the data from your RFID/SmartTag. That will greatly reduce the possibility of a speeding car hitting the boom gate.

[@stokinpower871]

Good job bro for the review. Keep it coming. Thumbs up👍👍

[@ifr8736]

Why stick at the headlamp? why not at the center top windshield from inside. is it durable? how the sensor detect when there's bunch of car line up (PH jammed) just in case.

[@MASViper]

I heard RFID signal won't passed the windshield tint

[@thelongstand9782]

What i know only put outside windshield because from inside sensor can't read

[@R2D2C3P0]

If the headlamp is damaged due to an accident, how fast can you get the replacement? and if your car is stuck in the workshop for 1 or 2 weeks and you need to borrow someone else car...do you stick your new rfid to that car? On the other hand...what if someone borrows your car...and uses the toll...enters the subang toll... exits the alor setar's toll and the balance gets deducted from your account...oh oh

[@bobbarley1962]

Why dont use singapore's ERP technology? Eventhough the device cost like a smart tag but the tech is solid and works flawlessly.

[@craigstone902]

They should go to Dubai and take a look at Salik system. Cars freely drive through gantry at full highway speed of 100km/h plus with no gate etc. They system has been there for many years ..... what the hell is PLUS doing with this ??

[@78mld]

in Singapore i didnt see any gate , and this put on headlamp sticker good for punish those triple or double parking people,just tear off their sicker ,haha

When turn on the lights will the RFID tag make shadow

[@TOTO-mj4zt]

smarttag, well the thief gotta break in for it while this sticker.. everyone can just tear it easily, everyone! trust me there are a lot of kids who do it for no reasons, I reckon better place the sticker inside on the top of windscreen.

[@pakdeepakdee3986]

Cer buat perbandingan lokasi rfid tag .... windscreen vs headlamp mana yg lebih bagus prestasinya ..... headlamp design berbeza, small space, dll berbanding windscreen .... bigger area ...... hantar le ke nippon antenna, japan/sirim utk test ......

[@muhammadnorhafiz8442]

There 2 type of RFID, one stick at headlamp and the other one at windshield. At this moment, only RFID sticker for headlamp available for pilot test.

I find the RFID sensor on NPE toll is the best so far for me. The worse is Kesas.

[@tzarevitch]

When is Pakatan Harapan going to ABOLISH the tolls?

[@longshank007]

i ve installed one today. first toll passed thru but second toll stucked. aduiii

[@Presso99]

We all knew that barrier pole is an outdated technology as it tends to get stuck and deactivated when the relay get stuck. In US, they didnt use pole, instead they use camera. There is no barrier pole at the toll station. It is time to upgrade the technology.

[@vincentcliong]

Kalau diterapkan di Indonesia akan sulit. Semoga bisa dinikmati oleh umum. Tidak seperti akai ETool Card atau ETool Pass yg lelet. Cuma ya perlu diperhatikan beberapa masalah yg mungkin timbul: Cuma perlu dibuat mekanisme bagaimana tahu sisa saldo supaya tidak lupa isi nabrak palang. Masalah selanjutnya pemasangan EToll Pass suka random kadang ada kadang tidak. Jika ada pun tidak ada petunjuk apakah alatnya on, off atau rusak. Kalau unit pembaca kartu manual yg pakai berhenti buka kaca dan ditempel selalu on. Kalau gardunya ada alat pembaca EToll Pass mengantung tapi lagi bobo alatnya ya nabrak. Mungkin perlu diberi lampu merah dan hijau tambahan selain untuk alat ETool Manual yg berhenti buka kaca dan tempel, ada lampu merah dan hijau untuk unit ETollPass nya. Lalu urusan masuk dan keluar Toll khan di beberapa tuas TOL misalnya Cikampek khan wajib pakai Kartu yg sama, jika pinjam kartu atau ganti kartu berbeda bisa otomatis denda 200ribu dianggap melanggar peraturan menggila putar arah di tengah jalan Tol. Jadi cukup repot harus mencopot kartu dari unit EToll untuk ditempel manual. Untuk resiko potongan Rp200ribu ini hanya terjadi di Tol yang melalui lebih dari satu gerbang tol dan pakai EToll sebanyak lebih dari satu kali. Kalau pakai RF seperti frekuensi di atas maka akan sering kena denda Rp200ribu tsb. Sebab jika lagi tidak mendapatkan gardu RF misal karena salah jalur di jalur manual atau memang RF nya lagi nga berfungsi maka siap siap kena denda rp200ribu karena beda kartu. Pernah aku lewat TOL Cikampek misal pas masuk pakai etool mandiri, pintu tol berikutnya mandiri lagi error jadi pakai flash lalu ya keluar toll bisa resiko kena tuh yg denda Rp200ribu. Aku pernah setahun lalu pinjamkan kartu ke pengemudi yg habis etollnya lalu kena denda 200ribu pas keluar tol. Karena saldoku nga ada maka diajak ke kantor oleh petugas. Aku menggila aja pura pura mau parkir lalu tancap gas. Ujungnya ya nga etoll tetapi "di kantor" Jadi banyak kemungkinan problem yg membuat orang pikir 100x sebelum mau diupgrade tekhnologinya. Lebih murah terima macet aja. Solusi: Mengisi EToll jumlah uangnya harus kurang dari Rp200ribu di saldonya. Kalau lewat jalan Tol yang harus melewati lebih dari satu pintu Tol lebih baik punya beberapa jenis kartu emoney sebab bisa saja lagi eror. Jika muncul tagihan Rp200ribu pura pura aja mau bayar, palang Tol dibukakan manual tancap gas kaburrrr. Kalau mau dibuat menjadi RF Etollnya harus diperbaiki aturan aturannya tidak boleh ada jebakan sisitem yg bisa charge besar tiba tiba lalu konsumen terima nasib saja.

Wat if my car keep being borrowed by others? I still need to pay the toll for them?

Well i go thru smart tag at 30kmh every time every day. I thot with rfid we don't have to reduce the speed that much?

Aint nobody got time to keep replacing the RFID sticker if it gets stolen/damaged. SmartTAG is still great for now until they fix and adjust the errors and bugs in this testing phase

[@franqueee]

Surely theres better alternative instead of this Rfid sticker right? seems so flawed 1. Peeling/sabotage issues 2. Rfid booth unusable resulting in users to opt for the tng booth which means, users will need to have a separate tng card ready for backup, making owning the rfid seems pointless 3. Same speed as smart tag and alot more

[@thelongstand9782]

How about night? You on your light .. the sensor cant read or not?

[@hazrafiszmaarif9527]

why they didn't paste the rfid sticker to your axia windscreen? seems like your windscreen is not tinted.

[@klgadgettv]

This was the first batch, so newer rfids should be able to stick on the windscreen

[@frry6700]

Smart tag can be carried around and move from 1 car to another...while this?????can i move the sticker from 1 car to another???

[@zakitalib]

Try entering a RFID toll and exit somewhere there is no RFID reader. How many devices do I need to go to East Coast? Is PLuS installing RFIDs on the eascoast highway too?

[@klgadgettv]

Currently RFID readers are mostly installed on intercity tolls, so if you are travelling on the North South highway, you are still going to need your physical touch n go card. Remember, this is still a pilot for now so its only available in limited number of tolls.

[@shinfengku8446]

Why RFID not do like our current road tax sticker stick inside the window, cause if stick at outdoor like head lamp or outdoor window if change by people we also don't know during we want the toll just know that not enough money in this RFID. This I think will give trouble to all ppl.
