Touch ’n Go Sdn Bhd, in collaboration with STAR Systems International (SSI), has successfully demonstrated Malaysia’s Multi-Lane Fast Flow (MLFF) Proof of Concept (PoC) — a major leap toward barrier-free, high-speed tolling across the nation’s highways.

The event brought together industry stakeholders and mobility experts for a hands-on showcase of how global tolling technologies can integrate seamlessly with Malaysia’s well-established digital payments ecosystem.

A Leap Toward Seamless, Barrier-Free Travel

At the heart of the demonstration was Touch ’n Go’s Titan Flow technology, locally developed and tailored for Malaysia’s tolling infrastructure. The system combines high-speed, multi-lane vehicle detection with the trusted Touch ’n Go eWallet platform, which now serves over 24 million verified (eKYC) users.

The proof of concept validated that MLFF can eliminate the need for physical barriers at toll booths, allowing vehicles to pass freely while charges are automatically processed in real-time. This marks a significant milestone in Malaysia’s transition toward a fully digital, open-road tolling future.

Innovation Backed by Proven Reliability

Touch ’n Go’s ecosystem continues to evolve with innovations like the SOS Balance feature — a safety net for users with insufficient balance. Since its launch earlier this year, the system has benefited over 13 million users, automatically covering RM39 million in toll payments on their behalf. It provides a 24-hour grace period to reload the eWallet, ensuring uninterrupted access to toll lanes without penalising users or disrupting traffic flow.

With 21% of toll transactions now conducted via RFID, adoption continues to rise steadily — signalling growing public confidence in digital tolling and the readiness of the market for nationwide MLFF rollout.

World-Class Technology for Malaysian Roads

STAR Systems International played a key role by contributing its Titan Pro reader and Avior antenna, supported by SIDRA’s PARSEC lane controller and advanced sensor systems, such as Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) and 3D LiDAR.

These technologies have already been internationally validated, including E-ZPass certification in the United States and approval from OmniAir-authorised test facilities in Texas. During the Malaysian PoC, the systems showcased high-speed accuracy, seamless performance, and robust data integration under live traffic conditions.

“The Titan Pro and Avior were purpose-built for high-speed, multi-lane tolling environments,” said Stephen Lockhart, Chief Technology Officer of STAR Systems International. “Together with Touch ’n Go and SIDRA, this project demonstrates a successful implementation of MLFF in Malaysia. We’re proud to help turn this vision into reality.”

Supporting Malaysia’s Digital Mobility Vision

The initiative aligns closely with the government’s broader Digital Mobility Agenda, complementing the Open Payment Toll Collection System, which enables payments via debit and credit cards on selected highways. While Open Payment expands flexibility for drivers, RFID remains the core enabler for the high-speed, barrier-free MLFF system.

“Touch ’n Go has been a trusted partner to Malaysia’s highways for almost 30 years,” said Praba Sangarajoo, Chief Executive Officer of Touch ’n Go Sdn Bhd. “With nationwide RFID adoption and an MLFF-ready system, we’re fully prepared to deliver seamless, reliable, and future-ready tolling. Made for Malaysians, by Malaysians — this is our commitment to driving Malaysia’s mobility forward.”

Building the Future of Tolling, Locally

The successful MLFF Proof of Concept highlights the power to create smarter, faster, and more efficient travel experiences. As the momentum builds, Touch ’n Go stands at the forefront of Malaysia’s next chapter in digital mobility, redefining how the nation moves on its roads.
