LTA refutes online claims of ERP 2.0 on-board unit not complying with international standards

SINGAPORE: Online claims that the&nbsp, ERP 2.0 on- board units ( OBU) &nbsp, have failed to comply with international standards are false, the Land Transport Authority ( LTA ) said on Tuesday ( May 14 ).

In response to media inquiries, LTA stated that the OBU “meets the important global benchmarks for digital products.”

LTA pointed to May 8‘s secondary issue from Louis Chua’s reply from Transport Minister Chee Hong Tat. Mr Chua had asked if the new OBU meets&nbsp, the Automotive Electronics Council Q100 ( AEC- Q100 ) demands for reliable activities in Singapore’s environment. &nbsp,

Mr. Chee responded that the LTA had carried out “quite a complete set of tests,” including climate and fall tests.

The LTA pointed out on Tuesday that Mr Chua had used the incorrect&nbsp, electrical equipment normal in his problem. &nbsp,

The packaged integrated circuits used in cars, such as the chips used in the in-car entertainment system, are measured using the AEC-Q100 normal.

AEC- Q100 is intended for products that are assembled in large numbers, and it focuses on the quality of specific components.

The important standards that the OBU was tested against were the International Electrotechnical Commission’s IEC- 60068 and IEC- 60529- two standards&nbsp, commonly used to test the administrative stability of electronic or electrical devices, said LTA.

To reach qualification against these standards, &nbsp, the OBU passed a wide range of testing including temperature and humidity.

” When correctly installed, it is safe and reliable to use in our working culture,” said LTA.
