STAR Systems International has successfully implemented a MultiLane Fast Flow (MLFF) pilot project in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, marking a significant upgrade in the region’s tolling infrastructure. This project, which replaces the traditional barrier-based tolling system, is expected to pave the way for broader MLFF adoption across Southeast Asia, enhancing transportation efficiency.
The project features STAR Systems’ Titan Pro reader and Avior antenna, designed for high-speed, multilane environments. These products offer exceptional read performance and flexibility, integrating seamlessly with existing tolling infrastructures. The Titan Pro can emulate legacy readers, whilst the Avior antenna provides precise radiation patterns, ensuring accurate and reliable read zones.
In collaboration with Touch ‘n Go, a fintech company specialising in cashless payments, and SIDRA, a modern tolling systems provider, the project utilises SIDRA’s PARSEC lane control system. This system integrates STAR Systems’ technology with sensors such as Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras and 3D LiDAR sensors. Operating autonomously alongside an existing gated toll gantry, the system achieves 100% vehicle detection and reads 99.98% of legacy toll tags.
Stephen Lockhart, CTO of STAR Systems International, stated, “The Titan Pro and Avior are purposefully designed for multilane fast flow applications where vehicles are moving at high speeds and extreme accuracy is required.” The collaboration demonstrates the potential of flexible, high-precision tolling technology in real-world applications.
This initiative sets a new benchmark for tolling systems in the region, showcasing how legacy systems can be modernised without significant disruption, leading to a smarter, faster, and more efficient future for tolling infrastructure.
