One possible solution to this issue is to use automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) technology to perform vehicle checks without stopping traffic. “With today’s technology, we can integrate the ANPR system operated by PLUS with JPJ’s MySikap system. ANPR is currently used by PLUS Malaysia for its open payment tolling system and relies on cameras to identify a vehicle’s registration number.
