PLUS’ JustGo app, introduced last October to enable users to pay toll on the North-South Highway via automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) technology, is nearing 200,000 downloads, reports The Star. “The PLUS ANPR Open Payment System via JustGo Malaysia enables lane freedom, allowing registered vehicles to enter and exit through any toll lane without being tied to specific payment methods. Transactions are processed automatically as vehicles pass through toll lanes, with payments linked through the JustGo mobile app,” the company said yesterday in a statement. On February 12, the works ministry, Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) and PLUS Malaysia launched the pilot project to formally introduce the ANPR-based open payment system at the institutional level. PLUS Malaysia was recognised as the first highway operator to implement the system under an ongoing pilot project along the Hutan Kampung–Sungai Dua stretch. “Under the (pilot project), registered users are no longer tied to specific lanes, gaining the flexibility to enter and exit through any toll lane at nine toll plazas: Hutan Kampung, Alor Setar Utara, Alor Setar Selatan, Pendang, Gurun, Sungai Petani Utara, Sungai Petani Selatan, Bertam and Sungai Dua,” PLUS said in a January 9 statement, adding that the first stage, spanning 87.7 km, is an important step towards realising high-speed barrier-less toll collection in Malaysia. “ANPR cameras installed at toll plazas will capture vehicle number plates, allowing toll charges to be automatically processed through a mobile-based payment platform linked to the user’s preferred payment method,” PLUS said.
