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

[matrix05]

If I’m not wrong, the old iu, the carpark guys can come and scans to check season parking.

Won’t be surprised if one day someone say an authorised agency can go and scan for datapoints

Carpark attendants come during office hour to scan for parking. SPF drives around after 1am with a huge antenna, capturing more data.
OBU2.0 likely comes with a map and memory, so more data can be extracted.

 

[standarture]

Indeed very worrying. From LTA's laymen understanding of their own device, seems it will under high load constantly, computing something. The communication with the GPS satellite. I don't see how it is computationally intensive. Could be poorly written in-house code.

TS question will go to the category Lost and Found

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

in the video which they explain the 1 of the 3-part is the freaking ANTENNA, i realised my earlier assumption that's its using 4g/5g node to calculate GPS was wrong. How can a phone ANTENNA be so big?! That must be eating a lot of power also to keep checking location to calculate distance travelled in CBD

 

[blueweed]

so many questions, so little answers. feels like 3rd world banana politics.

should not be launch, period. but the ego behind it, priceless

They may say it’s confidential cannot tell you

Whose battery isis?
What if the car battery is not sufficient for those things? Who will be paying for the battery necessary upgrade?

 

[tatsit]

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

Village chief already told Xiao Kang dont merry that ugly girl from the south. Got big belly, ugly feet, and body odor, tupid just dont want to listen.
oh and she could suck your energy and got maybe have 'underlying' defects? You will only find out on yr wedding night!

If my car battery flat, cannot start after installing OBU, can LTA pay for my recovery, repair and loss of use?

What if my car comes with li-ion from factory, each battery cost 10k to replace?

your problem is yours

authority's problem also yours

 

[jumpthepig]

You can always disconnect one of the battery wire preferably negative.

If disconnect the main battery… then the In car Camera will not has power

Use the voting box to ask your questions is a way to go

Think need to have fire extinguisher in the car. This thing might just explode when in the sun. They will blame it on global warming and straw usage. I heard there is a clause that said if the device damage your vehicle it’s not their fault. It’s your car underlining issue and you are too fat.

With all the car now with so many electronic, I think this ERP 2.0 unit is like adding one more time bomb to the car

Yes. there are so many electronics in the car nowadays, only those ERP 2.0 things cannot withstand heat from the sun….

 

[standarture]

But how they gonna detect cars which go offline ah. Since their lame device doesn't connect to internet? How to provide road updates? Means their device also connect to internet? Needs sim card??? Inside tunnel how??

You don’t need a SIM card to operate an Transceiver

Not only heat, I think one of this fine day it will short circuit the car and cost serious problems

Just store the data in the memory. Maybe go a HDD inside, dats why so big, so hot?

 

[SuperGreenHorn]

your problem is yours

authority's problem also yours

Whenever we write in to LTA, they will tell us to submit so many documents and proofs.

I'm sure they have the data, its time for them to return us the transparency!

 

[puppey]

jjww so much for what , in the end he will vote for the ruling party
