TRAPEZE GROUP CLOUD-BASED TECHNOLOGY TO IMPROVE SINGAPORE'S LTA OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCIES

KUALA LUMPUR, May 6 (Bernama) -- Singapore’s Land Transport Authority (LTA) is set to leverage future public transport services through cloud-based Bus Fleet Management System (BFMS) implemented by the Trapeze Group-ST Engineering consortium.

Under the new agreement, the consortium is due to transition to the next-generation franchising solution, in which Trapeze’s latest fleet management software and in-vehicle hardware enables LTA and their operators to continue delivering connected and reliable journeys for Singapore’s residents and tourists.

Trapeze Group ASEAN Managing Director, Frank Hesse said Trapeze’s experience as the established Intelligent Transport System (ITS) technology provider to LTA can streamline the BFMS implementation.

“I am delighted LTA can continue its long-term relationship with the Trapeze Group-ST Engineering consortium, which powers outstanding public transport experiences for people living in or visiting Singapore.

“Trapeze is proud of the high-level service and expertise we have provided to LTA over the past decade and I look forward to reaching new heights together in the years to come as we help LTA Singapore deliver its 2040 vision,” he said in a statement.

Trapeze’s ITS is the core component of LTA’s BFMS, built upon a real-time cloud-based software architecture with open application programming interface (API)’s and a new WebGUI front-end. By transferring LTA’s system to the Government Commercial Cloud, the Trapeze solution can improve the productivity of bus service controllers while keeping a high level of cybersecurity.

The new Trapeze system uses enhanced analytic functionalities to continuously optimise models and produce even more accurate bus arrival-time predictions. Trapeze’s Business Intelligence solution also enables business users to create reports on key outcomes in a more flexible and dynamic manner.

The solution also supports Singapore’s current electric vehicle (EV) bus fleet rollout with monitoring of EV assets through seamless integration with on-board technology and the charging infrastructure platform.

The consortium successfully implemented a Centralised Fleet Management System that has supported Singapore’s bus fleet since 2014 and currently oversees about 5,800 buses across four public transport operators.
