SGSingapore's rail operator SMRT has completed tests on a new backup MRT signaling system designed to ensure continued train operations if onboard signaling equipment fails. The system, developed by Chinese firm CASCO, was tested at Bishan depot between April and July and includes features like autonomous positioning and safety protection. SMRT stated the system does not replace the existing communication-based train control system but serves as an additional layer of resilience. The results of the tests are currently being evaluated by SMRT and the Land Transport Authority (LTA), with any rollout dependent on their assessment and approval. The project is part of broader efforts to improve rail reliability and safety through technological upgrades.
