Transport Authority, Singapore Road Pricing is one of the measures which LTA uses to manage the demand for road use, especially in the more congested areas. With ERP, road pricing charges are deducted from a stored-value SMART card which the motorist inserts into an electronic device known as the In-Vehicle Unit (IU). Each time the motorist travels under an ERP gantry, appropriate charges are deducted from the SMART card. http://www.lta.gov.sg/erp/ National University of Singapore and Hong Kong University -Engineering Student Exchange Scheme - the main theme of 97/98 visit was "Transportation Technology in Singapore" and a research findings article titled Electronic Road Pricing System. http://web.hku.hk/~nushkuex/Visit/ERPS.html The Price is Right - ITS International, a leading magazine for Intelligent Transport Systems, outlines the ERP system in Singapore and the effect it has had on the city. http://www.itsinternational.com/mag/price.htm Microeconomics - Electronic Road Pricing Scheme in Singapore - This Yahoo!
