The works ministry is evaluating the implementation of automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) alongside the JustGo app as a method of toll fare payment, New Straits Times has reported. The proposal was submitted by PLUS as an expansion of the open toll payment system that allows the use of debit and credit cards, and digital transactions for toll fare payment, said deputy works minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan.
“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 assessing several key parameters before a public pilot of the ANPR-JustGo system can be launched, the deputy works minister said. “The evaluation covers the ANPR system’s accuracy in detecting licence plates, as well as ensuring transaction speed and reliability are at an optimal level,” he said.
System security and reliability, along with the performance of the JustGo app in real, operational conditions are also being prioritised, said the deputy works minister. “These tests are crucial to ensure the system can handle high traffic volumes and support continuous toll operations without disruption,” he said.
Yesterday, the deputy works minister stated that the Federal Roads Act 1959, the Road Transport Act 1987 and the Malaysian Highway Authority (Incorporation) Act 1980 are due to be amended in order to pave the way for the multi-lane fast flow (MLFF) toll collection system. The Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) will most likely be tasked with enforcement under the amended laws next year, he said.
PLUS Malaysia began its trial of its ANPR-based multi-lane fast flow (MLFF) toll fare collection system in October, while earlier this month Touch ‘n Go showcased its Titan Flow MLFF system that combines RFID, ANPR, LiDAR and artificial intelligence technologies.

Ya ya ya. JustGo… only can login with MyDigital ID right?
We have read in the news in recent days that JPJ caught some supercars using other cars’ number plates (besides various offences like no driving license , no road tax , no insurance ) . What safeguards are there that the ANPR can authenticate the car license number is not being misused by others?
NPR is not recommended when it comes to security and toll charges as its easily duplicated. It will be an immense headache for the victims and eventually end up reverting or changing to other systems which costs more money
ANPR alone based MLFF system does not prevent any abuse of using false plate number / cloning other cars’ plate number issue, as car plate though legally is unique ID but is not hard to duplicate here in Malaysia. Let alone so many cars here are of the same make, model and color eg. Bezza, Proton.
Why should the legitimate car owners pay (linked to auto payment system) or being penalized if not paid (can be unkinked?) for other cars using his/her car number plates? How to protect yourself from being abused?
I personally prefer the TnG Titan Flow MLFF with ANPR and RFID to double check it’s the car owner only paying from your own unique car RFID/TnG, that’s harder to be duplicated/ abused, though this MLFF system is more expensive to implement.
Anyone doesn’t think ANPR alone MLFF system is not a problem please publish your car make, model and color and experience yourself its consequences if ANPR alone MLFF system were finally being selected & implemented?
considering how easy and unregulated the sale of car registration plates here in malaysia, you sir, have a very valid point. One can even buy these plates from online platforms.
