The Ministry Of PUPR Has Outspoken About The Entry Of The MLFF System To PSN This Year

JAKARTA - The contactless non-cash toll road payment system (MLFF) is confirmed to be included in this year's national strategic project (PSN).

Related to this, the Director of Block Free Roads at the Directorate General of Highways at the Ministry of PUPR, Triono Junoasmono, revealed the reasons for the entry of MLFF in PSN.

"Because of this, right, a very strategic and important program. So, of course, with the approval that this program should be appointed even more nationally. Because this is cross-sectoral, it's not just the Ministry of PUPR," he said when met by reporters at the National Working Meeting for Acceleration and Pre-Evaluation of PSN at the Park Hyatt Hotel, Jakarta, Tuesday, May 14.

The man who is often called Yongki also said that MLFF's proposal to become PSN did come from the Ministry of PUPR itself. "The point is this is our proposal," he said.

He added, with the entry of MLFF to become PSN, it is hoped that in the future there will be various facilities for the implementation of the toll payment system.

"At least there are conveniences from the regulation, continue to coordinate so that it will be easier," he said.

According to him, so far the government has not supported MLFF in terms of funding. However, there has been no discussion regarding this matter.

"It's not that there is no funding assistance, really, but there has been no discussion there," he said.

Furthermore, he said, his party will again conduct trials of the implementation of MLFF on the Bali Mandara Toll Road this year. So, later there will be improvements before it is actually implemented on the toll road.

"This year we will continue the trial. Hopefully, what we did yesterday in Bali, we will perfect the improvement again. Will it remain in Bali and others, like in Java," he added.

For your information, MLFF is the latest technology in the world that processes payments automatically for vehicles passing on toll roads.

Through this technology, toll road users can enter and leave without having to stop to pay.

This is possible because MLFF uses System Satellite Global Navigation (GNSS) technology, which is a system that allows transactions through applications on smartphones and reads via satellite, so that readers' tools on every place on toll roads such as RFID-based technology provide more effective cost solutions.
