PRESENT CONSTRUCTION • Most of present toll highways – urban area • Through heavily populated area • Mitigation measure needed in solving problem . Layang Water Catchment Pollutant Removal System (PRS) sited at strategic location The objective to remove the chemical/pollutants from the surface runoff.MITIGATION MEASURES: • ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM (SENAI – DESARU EXPRESSWAY) •Safeguarding water Catchment from contaminated spillage SDE highway alignment traverses through Sg. preventing them from reaching the water catchment PRS essentially comprises 4 component:Grass Swale Grass Pollutant Trap Oil / grease / chemical Filtration Retention . MITIGATION MEASURES: Pollutant Removal System Process . • LAND USE PROBLEM •Land scarcity •Space constraint – urban area •Increase usage of highway by local commuter – cause congestion •The experience of dealing with the problem:•DUKE Highway •SPRINT Highway . W condition .W) Redesigning the drainage system to suite the R.MITIGATION MEASURES: • DUKE HIGHWAY PROJECT LIMITATION OF RIGHT OF WAY (R.O.O. MITIGATION MEASURES: • DUKE HIGHWAY PROJECT LIMITATION OF RIGHT OF WAY (R.O.W) Application of Reinforcement Concrete wall for a spacious carriageway . O.W) •Reconfiguration of interchanges (eg: Sentul Pasar Interchange) •Advantages :•No acquisition for drainage reserve •Providing free flow of water •No interfacing with flood mitigation structure *Interchange Design to skirt around the Existing detention pond by JPS as a flood mitigation measure .MITIGATION MEASURES: ii) Reconfiguration of Interchanges LIMITATION OF RIGHT OF WAY (R. 6m 13.4 m 10 m 13.O.MITIGATION MEASURES: iii) Sharing of TNB power line reserve LIMITATION OF RIGHT OF WAY (R.W) Existing Reserve = 40 m 6m 6m 6m 12 m •Original proposal – separate reserve for highway and TNB power lines •Benefits:•29 houses & 5 shops not to be acquired •Live line maintenance from the deck 1.4 m 1.6m . MITIGATION MEASURES: • SPRINT HIGHWAY PROJECT •Designed using innovative methods to minimise land use and disruption to the environment during construction. •700 m Bored tunneling construction method through a hill as a direct access through Penchala •To preserve the ecology and environmental . •First in Malaysia to feature double deck structure .MITIGATION MEASURES: • SPRINT HIGHWAY PROJECT •Designed using innovative methods to minimise land use and disruption to the environment during construction. . •It can be used for other purposes such as public transport and public parking.MITIGATION MEASURES: • Traffic congestion problem at toll plazas •Introduction of Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) occurs after completion of the NSE in Sept. less number of highway users using this system. •Earlier stage of implementation. Government decided to use only one ETC system namely Touch & Go. 1994. •Starting from 1 July 2004. •Number had increase yearly due to the increase in number of highway users which resulted to traffic congestion at toll plazas especially during peak hours and festive seasons. MITIGATION MEASURES: • Traffic congestion problem at toll plazas 1200 TOTAL TRAFFIC (million) 1000 800 600 Only 41% use ETC (TnGo & smart Tag) 400 200 0 1999 2000 2001 2002 YEAR 2003 2004 2005 2006 TNG & Smart Tag Total Traffic Comparison between the use of Electronic Toll System (ETC) and total number of traffic . ISSUES TOLL •A sensitive issues and become major problem in the country LAND •Land cost much higher than estimated in implementation stage Mitigation measures: •Government compensation •Re-evaluating C.A and improve it. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION •Engage consultant to get feedback from customer 80% as a benchmark.A Mitigation measures: •Impose penalty •Established KPI .A and renegotiate the term Mitigation measures: •Preparing Guideline ISSUES IMPROVEMENT TO CONCESSION AGREEMENT •Set-up committee to reevaluate the existing C. improve some complain and comment from customer CONGESTION •Growth development generated traffic & saturated •Bottleneck and user’s behaviour Mitigation measures: •Coordination between Government agencies and private company •Improve C. • Land issue •Land cost – critical components and big impact to overall project cost •Planning stage – estimated land cost •Implementation stage – land cost are higher than estimated •Due to affected lots converted their status (plantation to residential / commercial) •Solution : •MHA currently preparing new guideline in handling the unacceptable increase in the land cost . A term for affordable toll rate •Action taken – concession period extension.A) •Toll rate agreed – must be sufficient to cover capital expenditure (CAPEX). financial obligations and returns to the promoters. toll rate restructuring .Government must compensate concessionaires •Major issues – acceptable & affordable toll rate •Solution: •Currently MHA re-evaluating all the existing C. •No increment toll rate as stipulated . operating expenses (OPEX).• Toll issue •Sensitive issues and major problem in the country •Toll rate and frequency toll rate review – agreed in the Concession Agreement (C. A prior to traffic congestion problem .weaving •Effect – stress. waste of fuel. emits smoke •Solution: •Coordination between government agencies and private company •Improvement to C.• Congestion issue •Congestion contribution:•Development in the vicinity of the highway •Existing bottleneck •Users behavior . waste of time. • Improvement to Concession Agreement •MHA planning department set-up a committee – to re-evaluate & improve C.A • Solution: •To impose LAD – project completed as schedule •To impose penalty – non compliance and non conformity •Established Key Performance Indicator (KPI) – standardize work performance •May instruct Concession Company to review the traffic forecast . mitigation measures to improves the Costumer Satisfaction Index will carried out by Concession company .• Customer (Highway User’s) Satisfaction •Overall satisfaction Index of the Highway for the year 2007 reflected that Malaysian road users were satisfied (rated as ‘four star’/’good) With scored for all highways between (66%-85%) •Survey base on five major area as listed below: •Highways Management •Toll Plaza Management •Ronda Services •Rest Service Area •Lay By service • From the finding. FUTURE FLEXIBLE TOLL SYSTEMS MULTI LANE FREE FLOW (MLFF) FLAT TOLL RATE FUTURE MHA’S TRAFFIC MONITORING CENTRE TRAFFIC MODEL STUDY TENDERING OF NEW HIGHWAY SHADOW TOLL . • Future highway development programme •Government still embark on privatisation programme through:•Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) •Private Finance Initiative •Reviewing the Highway Network Development Plan (HNDP) •Viable project for privatisation •Impact on National economy . 00am •Massive traffic congestion due to accident / festivals season .00 am to 7.• Flexible Toll Systems •Toll discount on non peak hour •10% discount starting 1 Jan 2009 for NSE and ELITE highway •Discount period from 12. • Flat Toll Rate •One toll rate until the end of the concession period •No toll rate increment .

Socio-economic Framework. traffic survey •Will assist Government in evaluating and choosing viable road project . • MHA Traffic Monitoring Centre •Collecting and disseminating traffic information in real time basis on toll highway to the public . quality •Private sector – get the reasonable return from the investment •Future. maintain and operated in the best conditions. construction.to fulfill the customer satisfaction •Way forward-MHA TMC as a National Traffic Information Centre •MHA as a Public Sector Comparator (PSC) to concession companies . operation and maintenance has resulted in having a highway of the best quality and at reasonable price.CONCLUSION •Improvement have been done to make sure the toll highway are built of the best quality. •Win-win situation between Government and Private sector: •Government – get infrastructure early. •Innovation and optimisation in the design. •When dealing in urban construction – need to reduce impact on social and environmental. •Continuous negotiation and discussion between Government and Concession Company in all stages are an important for the successful of project.
