LTA, please clarify whether ERP 2.0 OBU power consumption is too high??

IMHO.

"The OBU will be required to connect to 12V permanently power source. It will switch to power saving mode after the vehicle engine is off, as such the current drawn is lesser than existing IU unit drawn during vehicle engine off."

So far never heard of 12v battery flat because of the existing IU.

Cos the existing is like a digital watch. And the display isnt on all the time.

 

[Suporter]

who are you to demand explanation from lta

Must be Cpt and above...

 

[tshace]

A mini star would reply:
IT'S NOT HIGH

 

[tshace]

This is like a trace tgr device to capture all your movement 24/7 how not to consume power…. Sinkies can only guai guai and listen and follow …. The car u have is rent from gahmen so u got no say …. Is just a taxi but u drive

A TraceTogether v2.0?

If can overheat means can start fire. Who will be responsible?

never heard, doesnt mean never happen

for motorcyclist, this is an issue even with the existing ERP1.0 IU because motorcycle's 12V battery is very small

If rumours are right, the OBU will continue to function and deplete its internal battery which may in turn suffer permanent damage from deep discharge and motorists will have to pay for the cost of replacement OBU.

This is why we need clarification

The OBU Power should be tapped on to the Power Source like Car radio and Aircon. when car stops, its Power will cut off.

Good for those who always go jaybee if your car “lost” Lta can help u find it back

Rebooting of IU - nobody knows how long it takes to boot up - what if it takes several minutes, and we just drive off - means loss of revenue for them

Jokes aside, if they allow us to off it, then many will find ways to escape being charged on distance (unless the unit keeps a record of our journey and a review would show "teleportation" where the car jumps from location to location)

Too many unknowns and moving parts that can fail

The whole idea is to trap drivers. In fact this ERP2 has many possibilities of evading tracking.

Knowing pappies, solve 1 problem, create another 10 more.

The current ERP uses the black and white strip on the road to detect a passing vehicle.

In a tunnel cannot track liao.

If 10 more problems = 10 more improvement opportunites = Create more 升官发财 opportunities….Song bo?

就是拿他们没有办法的…就是这样玩到底的..No?

collect data for what? LTA need to be transparent abt the data collection. At least let us weigh the pros n cons of the data collection, given they obv not capable to decide anything anymore

This is what they say now but it remains to be seen if it will be the case since there's limited testing and insufficient usage data

I understand from my LTA friend that the pilot batch only took place last year so it's too early to tell if issues would surface once we get a bigger sample group

IMHO.
Usually if they have the specs of ERP 2.0 OBU and ERP 1.0 IU, should be quite easy to come to a conclusion because it is basically a comparison. Testing usually surface out other type of issues.

E.g. OBU unable to go into power savings mode or OBU keeps going into power savings mode.

See my previous reply.
Motorcyclist likewise should ask question. The unit for motorcyclist is different and could operate differently.

 

[dontwastetime]

For something to overheat, means the current draw must be substantial.

LTA please clarify how much is the power draw when the car is parked, how long can we leave our cars parked before the car battery becomes too weak to start the engine

Can LTA please quash the rumours that the OBU would suffer permanent damage if internal battery of OBU becomes flat

Someone need to start testing and post the reuslts

 

[coern]

ownself start rumour and ask LTA to quash...

What we have on paper and what is happening in real life can be very different

That's why drug companies need human trials to test a new drug's efficacy, not just compare specs/benefits on paper hahah

Paper generals are very different from battle-hardened generals, too, just saying

 

[JAson1980]

Would that 3 piece vampirize the car battery???

If yes, then those drive hybrid or ev jia lat lor...lol

ICE also jialat what.... no battery cannot start also.

 

[eflash]

you wait till the first 5 years where AD are absolutely pissed with car owners complaining battery flat.

then suddenly, all the power wires are linked with ACC/ignition/kl15

even the current V1 IU, my AD already use ACC for power.

it is stupid to even use batt power

Lol maybe it will change to solar power... Then if at night ran out of battery... Gg...

Plus will make the car owners install solar panels on the roof... Convertible owners will kpkb...
