  "account": "Korea’s multi-lane free-flow tolling technology is set to be introduced in Malaysia's expressways, following a memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed between Korea Expressway Corporation and the Malaysian Highway Authority. The MOU was established during the 2026 Gangneung ITS World Congress, held on October 20 at the Gangneung Convention Center. The agreement aims to promote cooperation in road and transport sectors, focusing on smart expressway management, advanced tolling policies, and the establishment of a Smart Traffic Management Center (TMC) and Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). The core of the collaboration revolves around Malaysia’s plan to implement a nation-wide multi-lane free-flow tolling system (MLFF), similar to Korea’s Hi-Pass. Korea Expressway Corporation will share its operational expertise in Hi-Pass, which has been successfully implemented across 94% of expressways in the country. This agreement follows a similar MOU signed by government ministries of both nations in December last year. Yu Jeong-hun, president of Korea Expressway Corporation, expressed optimism that the agreement will strengthen trust between the two institutions and pave the way for a strategic partnership to develop future-oriented expressways.",
