The proposed system uses GPS to accurately locate a vehicle and the charges can commence when the ignition key is switched on and/or the vehicle moves into a controlled space.
In Germany trucks can be accurately levied based on the distance they travel so perhaps the Singapore government are considering something similar? Their principal concern remains traffic congestion which is only going to get worse in the future.
