With the new system’s carefully positioned cameras and video analytics, control centre staff now have both visual and audio alerts in the event of track intrusions.

SINGAPORE: The Bukit Panjang Light Rapid Transit network has rolled out new cameras with artificial intelligence functions across all 13 stations to tackle track incidents much faster.

If a track intrusion is detected, the control centre will be alerted through a loud alarm immediately. The system will also show a marked up screenshot of the incident and a live closed-circuit television feed of the location. With the new system’s carefully positioned cameras and video analytics, control centre staff now have both visual and audio alerts in the event of such situations.

Senior Minister of State for Transport Amy Khor previously explained that installing platform screen doors would require more space for power, communications and signal control rooms. These would eat into an already small waiting area on the platforms.An LRT train exits Teck Whye station along the Bukit Panjang LRT network.
