PRESENT CONSTRUCTION
Most of present toll highways urban area Through heavily populated area Mitigation measure needed in solving problem

MITIGATION MEASURES:

ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM (SENAI DESARU EXPRESSWAY)

Safeguarding water Catchment from contaminated spillage SDE highway alignment traverses through Sg. Layang Water Catchment Pollutant Removal System (PRS) sited at strategic location The objective to remove the chemical/pollutants from the surface runoff, 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

MITIGATION MEASURES:

DUKE HIGHWAY PROJECT

LIMITATION OF RIGHT OF WAY (R.O.W) Redesigning the drainage system to suite the R.O.W condition

MITIGATION MEASURES:

DUKE HIGHWAY PROJECT

LIMITATION OF RIGHT OF WAY (R.O.W) Application of Reinforcement Concrete wall for a spacious carriageway

MITIGATION MEASURES:

ii) Reconfiguration of Interchanges

LIMITATION OF RIGHT OF WAY (R.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:

iii) Sharing of TNB power line reserve

LIMITATION OF RIGHT OF WAY (R.O.W)
Existing Reserve = 40 m 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

MITIGATION MEASURES:

SPRINT HIGHWAY PROJECT

Designed using innovative methods to minimise land use and disruption to the environment during construction.

First in Malaysia to feature double deck structure

MITIGATION MEASURES:

Traffic congestion problem at toll plazas

Introduction of Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) occurs after completion of the NSE in Sept. 1994. Earlier stage of implementation, less number of highway users using this system. 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.

Starting from 1 July 2004, Government decided to use only one ETC system namely Touch & Go.
It can be used for other purposes such as public transport and public parking.

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 renegotiate the term

Mitigation measures: Preparing Guideline

ISSUES
IMPROVEMENT TO CONCESSION AGREEMENT Set-up committee to reevaluate the existing C.A and improve it. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION Engage consultant to get feedback from customer 80% as a benchmark, improve some complain and comment from customer

CONGESTION Growth development generated traffic & saturated Bottleneck and users behaviour

Mitigation measures: Coordination between Government agencies and private company Improve C.A

Mitigation measures: Impose penalty Established KPI

 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

 Toll issue
Sensitive issues and major problem in the country Toll rate and frequency toll rate review agreed in the Concession Agreement (C.A) Toll rate agreed must be sufficient to cover capital expenditure (CAPEX), operating expenses (OPEX), financial obligations and returns to the promoters. No increment toll rate as stipulated - Government must compensate concessionaires Major issues acceptable & affordable toll rate Solution: Currently MHA re-evaluating all the existing C.A term for affordable toll rate Action taken concession period extension, toll rate restructuring

 Congestion issue
Congestion contribution:Development in the vicinity of the highway Existing bottleneck Users behavior - weaving Effect stress, waste of fuel, waste of time, emits smoke Solution: Coordination between government agencies and private company Improvement to C.A prior to traffic congestion problem

 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

 Customer (Highway Users) 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, mitigation measures to improves the Costumer Satisfaction Index will carried out by Concession company

FUTURE
FLEXIBLE TOLL SYSTEMS MULTI LANE FREE FLOW (MLFF)

FLAT TOLL RATE FUTURE MHAS 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

 Flexible Toll Systems

Toll discount on non peak hour 10% discount starting 1 Jan 2009 for NSE and ELITE highway Discount period from 12.00 am to 7.00am Massive traffic congestion due to accident / festivals season

 Flat Toll Rate

One toll rate until the end of the concession period No toll rate increment

 Multi Lane free Flow (MLFF)

Latest toll electronic collecting system in Malaysia Will encourage smooth traffic movement Capacity of peak hour transition rate 2200 vehicle per lane per hour Government in process of trial December 2008 Toll Plaza Penchala, Damansara Puchong Highway Toll Plaza Batu 3, federal Highway 2 Expert involved in the trial:Mitsubishi Group and Kapsch Com Objective of the trial:Study system effectiveness in term of safety and practicality aspect

 Shadow Toll
Has been implemented in several countries in Europe Modified version need to be look before applying in Malaysia Method:No toll paying by user at toll booth Government pay to the Company based on number of traffic

 Tendering of new Highway in Malaysia

Implementing an open tender concept for new privatized highway To ensure transparency reasonable and competitive price

 Traffic Model study for Klang Valley and its conurbation

A study for the new traffic model Basically to develop Traffic Demand Forecasting Model Finding and analysis Land use, 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

CONCLUSION
Improvement have been done to make sure the toll highway are built of the best quality, maintain and operated in the best conditions.

Continuous negotiation and discussion between Government and Concession Company in all stages are an important for the successful of project.
Innovation and optimisation in the design, construction, operation and maintenance has resulted in having a highway of the best quality and at reasonable price. When dealing in urban construction need to reduce impact on social and environmental. Win-win situation between Government and Private sector: Government get infrastructure early, quality Private sector get the reasonable return from the investment Future- 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
