Cisco and the Management Authority for Urban Railways (MAUR) entered into an agreement to conduct a feasibility study relating to the Integrated Telecommunications Control Center for the Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) Urban Railways. This feasibility study, with funding for which being USD1.5 million, is being undertaken through a grant by the U.S. Trade and Development Agency to support MAUR’s plan to acquire and implement information and communications technologies for the control center for HCMC’s metro rail system. The project starts in June 2015 and is expected to be completed around November 2015.
The project aims to establish a strategic ICT plan, based on which MAUR will build an integrated telecommunications control system for its urban railway systems. This is to improve operational efficiency and management, and to provide seamless operation and connectivity with other public transportation systems such as bus, taxi, waterway transport.
