DEFINITION

Noun

A device installed in a vehicle that allows automatic deduction of toll fees.

 

由来
  • 为了取代日趋复杂的中央限制区执照计划 (Area Licensing Scheme)，陆路交通管理局 (Land Transport Authority，简称“陆交局”) 于1998年4月1日正式推出了全自动化的公路电子收费系统 (Electronic Road Pricing)。
  • 在该系统实行之前，陆交局自1997年九月起便为车辆安装阅卡器，并在十个月内为约680,000辆车子成功安装了阅卡器。
  • 第一代阅卡器只支持星网电子付款 (NETS) 的现金卡 (Cash-Card)，驾驶者须将符合非接触式电子钱包应用标准 (Contactless e-Purse Application Specification，简称“CEPAS”) 的卡放入车内所安装的阅卡器槽内。当驾驶过收费路段时，路段上所安装的电子闸门便会通过阅卡器扣除相应的费用。
  • 2009年6月30日起，陆交局推出了第二代阅卡器，将所能使用的支付卡拓展至任何符合非接触式电子钱包应用标准的卡与信用卡。
  • 2014年，建屋发展局 (Housing & Development Board) 开始实行电子停车系统 (Electronic Parking System)，借助电子闸门与车内的阅卡器，实行免接触式的停车付费。
ETYMOLOGY
  • To replace the increasingly complex Area Licensing Scheme (ALS), the Land Transport Authority (LTA) officially rolled out the fully automated Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) system on 1 April 1998.
  • In the run-up to the implementation of the ERP, the authorities began installing card readers in cars starting from September 1997. Within 10 months, card readers were installed in about 680,000 cars.
  • The first-generation card readers supported payment only via NETS CashCard. Drivers had to insert cards complying with the Contactless e-Purse Application Specification (CEPAS) into the slot of the card reader installed in their cars. When driving through a toll-charging road section, the electronic gantry installed over the road would deduct the corresponding fees through the card reader.
  • On 30 June 2009, the LTA rolled out the second-generation card reader, which extended the compatibility of payment cards to all CEPAS-compliant cards and credit cards.
  • In 2014, the Housing & Development Board (HDB) implemented the Electronic Parking System (EPS), where parking fees are collected by contactless payment via the electronic gantries and in-vehicle card readers.
