Development Along MRT Corridors

Town planners decentralised the

population into New Towns away

from city centre, but connecting

them by an efficient transport

system

Concentrate the highest density

developments around major

transport nodes (MRT stations)

Economic benefits stimulates investment creates employment enhances land values

Land Transport Authority

The Land Transport Authority

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) is the provider and owner of all road and rail infrastructure.

Our Mission: “To provide an efficient and cost effective land transport system for different needs.”

Land Transport Authority

What is Mass Rapid Transit ?

A passenger carrying railway with capacity in excess of 1500 persons per train.

Underground and Aboveground. Frequent train services. Short station stopovers. The most efficient means of moving

people in an urban environment.

The Modern MRT

Highly Automated. Increasingly Reliant on Fail-Safe Computer

Based Systems. Decreased Staffing Levels demands more

effective means of communication. Highly Reliable and Flexible Radio

Communication is required for effective command and control purposes.

Land Transport Authority

Fully Automated MRT Fully automatic operation requires that all

functions of the driver be automated. Operation Control Centre must become the

driver’s eye. Efficient data transmission plays a key role in

rapid indication and diagnosis of train-borne system faults.

Consistently clear communication with passengers is essential at all times.

Why TETRA ?

Land Transport Authority

Why TETRA ? Frequency Economy

Interleaving 4 Channels in a single 25kHz Carrier via TDMA scheme.

Security for Critical DataData Integrity through Forward Error Correction.

Consistent Voice QualityNo Analogue Circuit Degradation Caused by

Noise and Distortion.Less User Frustration and Stress.

Land Transport Authority

Why TETRA ?

Flexible CommunicationsSupports both Voice and Data

applications.Efficient Command and Control (fast call

set-up, subscriber identification, priority management, individual, group and broadcast calls).

Land Transport Authority

Conclusion

LTA has chosen TETRA for the following

main reasons: Feature Rich Radio System. Provides Secure and Highly Reliable Concurrent

Voice and Data Communications. Highly Flexible and Expandable Catering for

Future Needs and Network Expansions. Modular and Upgradable Software based System

Protects the Investment.

Land Transport Authority

Conclusion

It is for these reasons that Singapore has chosen TETRA as the preferred technology to support the operation of the Singapore MRT operations.

TETRA is likely to be the choice for future MRT lines as the transit infrastructure in Singapore continues to grow rapidly.
