RFID implementation still needs further improvement, mass adoption should be delayed


Considering that the reason to implement RFID is for better traffic experience, any possible complications related to the technology’s usage should be ironed out before pushing it out for general adoption. Otherwise, premature introduction will simply create more problems for road users and cost people time and resources.

The recent reports of huge traffic jams at toll plazas on the North-South Expressway (NSE) linked to RFID issues is evidence that the technology needs more tweaks before introducing it to the public again.
