I have built a new signal system for SMRT.
The new system is explained in www.tklcloud.com/mrt.
1. This is a simulation of the North South Line of the MRT system in Singapore.
2. It dispatches a train every 2 minute during the peak hours and every 3 minutes during the off-peak hours and stops service between midnight and 6 am. The train travels at an average speed of 60 kmp and stays for 30 seconds at a station for passengers to disembark and embark.
3. The simulator varies the speed according to the condition of the train and the track.
4. A signal is sent to the control center showing the time that a train passes each km point along the track.
5. The control center calculates the punctuality of the train and increases the speed if the train is behind the schedule or reduces the speed if the train is ahead of schedule.
6. An collision avoidance device is installed on each train to ensure a gap of at least 0.5 km from the train ahead. If this distance falls below this gap, the brake is applied automatically.
7. If a train is 2 minutes behind schedule due to a train fault, the control center directs the train to be moved off the track so that the following trains can pass this faulty train.
The total cost of the system, including the devices on the trains and the tracks and the software for the control center should cost not more than $19.5 million. This is just 10% of the budget that was paid for the Thales system.
The Thales system has given a lot of problems and caused several breakdowns and a serious collision.
My system should perform better. However, I need SMRT and LTA to have an open mind an consider my system.
I have built a simulation to show how 60 trains perform on the two directions of the NS lines during the day. I have also built in the simulation for three trains, T1, T2 and T3, to develop train faults. The control center software was able to detect the problem and move them off the track. This allowed the remaining trains to perform normally. My system does not have the delays of several hours that is experienced now.
I hope that SMRT and LTA will at least monitor my simulation.

GLCs and Govt Agencies still in colonial mindset, where the orang puteh Companies are always supreme compared to locals.
Nevertheless give them the benefit of the doubt, and let's see whether they would try your simulated signalling system.
Sometimes this Govt would quietly adopt a good system, make some modifications and pass off as their own.
Plagiarism is also a form of compliment to the local inventor.
