Some 1,070 buses, or 30 per cent of the operator's fleet, will be equipped with the system by end-2024.
SINGAPORE – Whenever he operates service 51 from Jurong East to Hougang, bus captain Guek Peng Kian finds it challenging to stay focused towards the end of each journey, which lasts more than 2½ hours.
Mr Guek, who has been using the system for about two years, said he is happy it will be installed on more buses, and hopes for it to be set up on all buses to ensure greater safety for everyone. This fatigue monitoring system was on display at SBS Transit’s safety symposium at YWCA Fort Canning on May 10. Around 300 people – including overseas public transport operators and SBS Transit’s partners and contractors – attended the symposium.
The simulator can put trainees through various scenarios, which include an LRT train going too fast, rolling backwards or overshooting a station, and having a foreign object on the tracks. SBS Transit is exploring the feasibility of using the mixed-reality simulator to train workers on the Downtown and North East MRT lines, which it operates.
