Siemens Mobility to install CBTC on the rail link connecting Malaysia and Singapore
“We are delighted to have the opportunity to
provide our state-of-the-art
signaling technology for this important regional project that will deliver a
vital transportation link for the almost 300,000 people
who cross the Malaysian-Singapore border daily for work,” said Andre Rodenbeck, CEO
of Rail Infrastructure at Siemens Mobility. “The RTS Link will be the first ever
cross border system to be equipped with CBTC technology, which will allow it to operate with superior
availability, reliability and passenger experience, and further underscores our leading position in the
field for delivering automated signaling systems.”
For this project, Siemens
Mobility will utilize its Trainguard MT solution to install
CBTC technology
on 4 km of rail line, as well as at one station and control center (OCC) on
each side of the border. In addition, platform screen doors will be installed
at both stations and a depot will be established on the Malaysia side that will
be able to accomodate eight four-car trainsets. Trainguard MT is the Siemens Mobility high-performance CBTC system which lets
operators maximize their network capacity and throughput. The radio-based technology provides real-time data on
vehicle position and speed conditions, allowing system operators to safely
increase the number of vehicles on a rail line.
This project builds on the already well-established
relationship Siemens Mobility has with Singapore and Malaysia that includes providing the signalling for multiple
mass transit projects in Singapore, including the recent contract award for the
installation of an automatic train control signaling system on the Jurong
Region Line. In Malaysia, Siemens Mobility is currently working on implementing
a Trainguard MT signalling system for the Klang Valley LRT Line 3.
