Malaysian Expressway network can be considered the best expressway network in Southeast Asia and third in Asia after Japan and China. Malaysian expressways are found at all major cities and conurbations such as Klang Valley, Johor Bahru and Penang. Online Toll Payment System (OTOPS) is about developing a mobile web application for the Malaysian Expressway that will enable the regular users to make payment before they use that expressway. It can be described as the future technologies for Electronic Toll Collection System (ETC) instead of Touch n Go and SmartTag in Malaysia.
With this system, they can make toll payment using internet banking and credit card through web application or also can access using the mobile devices such personal data assistant (PDA’s). The users also need to buy a credit using web application which required them to type their method of payment and vehicles plate number for the recognition purposes. For the users that using mobile devices, they also required to type the SMS includes their method of payment and the vehicle plate number and send to this system. Then this system will deduct an amount charged by the toll from the credit with condition the credit enough. The OTOPS users will drive at the specific lane which is provided only for the users that use this system by recognizing the vehicles plate number. The users also can check their credit balance using both web application and mobile devices.
1.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT
Malaysian Expressway nowadays becomes one of the busiest expressways in Asia. The major factors includes the increasing number of vehicles along federal routes, opening of major ports and airports in Malaysia and the increasing population in major cities and towns of Malaysia. This is the reason why it always jammed and congested when the user want to make payment at toll point especially during peak time and peak season such as Hari Raya Holiday. Currently, the Electronic Toll Collection System (ETC) that used today using cash, touch n go and smart tag.
Normally, most of the users using cash payment but the transaction will take longer time. For touch n go, it is more convenient than cash because user no longer need to prepare for small change or wait in queue at the cash lane to complete the transaction. But this method also needs a process to touch the screen and consume time as well, but it takes less time compared to cash payment. Smart Tag can be described as the fastest way to make payment which allow user to pay toll with drive-through convenience but the device for this method is expensive. Both Touch n Go and SmartTag maybe have possibility in security problem. For example, if the card had scratched or lost, maybe the user can’t use that application and need to report for the replacement.
Online Toll Payment System (OTOPS) added better alternative to solve this entire problem because it is only uses the device which the users already have such as internet and mobile phones and payment can be made even before they drive. Furthermore, using plate number as recognition considered as are non-repudiation method to recognize the vehicles.
