13. Managing Demand – Vehicle Control
Vehicle Quota System (VQS) on 1 May 1990
Regulate growth at a rate that can be sustained by road network
Number of Certificate of Entitlement (COE) depends on
Number of de-registrations for past 3 months; plus
Allowable growth (0.25%)
Vehicle Quota System (VQS) – May 1990
All potential vehicle owners must have a valid Certificate Of Entitlement (COE) to register a vehicle
COE Quota determined annually based on:
0.25%1 growth based on vehicle population as at the end of the previous year
COEs released to public
through regular competitive
bidding

14. Managing Demand – Road Pricing
World’s first urban Congestion Pricing Scheme in 1975
Reduced traffic entering the Restricted Zone (RZ)
Area Licensing Scheme RT

Bukit Timah
Area Licensing Scheme ( )
Manual (paper based) scheme to regulate vehicle usage in city
Motorists pay one-time $ to enter Restricted Zone

15. Managing Demand - ERP Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) (1998 - present)
Gantries fitted with cameras, displays & sensors
Flexible: rates varies by location/time, reviewed every quarterly
Equitable: motorists pay for contributing to congestion on priced roads

17. Managing Demand - ERP
Objectives: To manage congestion and optimise use of road space
Use pricing to influence demand for vehicle usage by
time (peak hours),
route,
destination (e.g. City), or
Mode
Optimal Speed Range For Expressways and Arterial Roads
45 – 65 km/h
> 65 km/h
< 45 km/h
