New AI-powered SMRT command centre aims to make bus services safer, more reliable and faster

Singapore's SMRT has launched a $6 million AI-powered command center aimed at improving bus service safety, reliability, and efficiency. The center, known as the Intelligent Operations Control Centre, centralizes fleet management by integrating data on bus movements, vehicle health, traffic conditions, and driver behavior. It uses artificial intelligence to detect issues like driver fatigue and bus bunching, allowing operators to respond proactively. The facility, located in Gali Batu Bus Depot, replaces previous decentralized operations and employs over 50 staff to manage more than 1,200 buses across 75 routes. The system is part of SMRT's broader 'Bus 4.0' digital transformation initiative, designed to shift from reactive problem-solving to proactive risk identification.
