Singapore’s Land Transport Authority and the Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) signed agreements to collaborate on a series of transport research projects. Under the agreements, the partners will conduct joint research to enhance existing rail networks through real-time condition monitoring and also conduct trials for two fully-autonomous 12-metre buses, the first-of-its-kind in Singapore.
The LTA and NTU will embark on a research study to develop and design a real-time condition monitoring prototype to detect early signs of defects in traction power systems, so as to enhance preventive maintenance for our rail network. This will be done using a patented technology with fault diagnostic capability that can be used around the clock without disrupting normal train operations.
