Singapore ERP
In this unit, we focus on Singapore’s revolutionary Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) system, a global benchmark for managing urban traffic congestion.
Discover how this innovative system utilises dynamic pricing and advanced technologies to influence driver behaviour, reduce congestion, and support the development of sustainable public transport. We delve into the system’s evolution—from the Area Licensing Scheme to the introduction of ERP in 1998—and explore its upcoming transformation to ERP 2.0, a satellite-based congestion management system designed to be more efficient, precise, and adaptable for the future.
This case study highlights how data and technology have reshaped urban mobility in Singapore and offers lessons for emerging cities seeking cost-effective and scalable solutions to traffic management challenges.
In the next unit, we move to Bangkok to explore real-time traffic monitoring, focusing on how innovative data systems revolutionise urban transport planning and operations.
