ST Electronics wins S$98m contract from LTA

The enhancement project will start in May and is expected to be completed by 2017.

Singapore Technologies Engineering Ltd's electronics arm, Singapore Technologies Electronics Limited, has been awarded a S$98m contract by Singapore’s Land Transport Authority to enhance the Expressway Monitoring & Advisory System equipment along eight expressways in Singapore. The contract is awarded to ST Electronics’ wholly-owned subsidiary, ST Electronics (Info-Comm Systems).

The enhancement project will ensure that EMAS can continue to function as an important traffic and incident management tool. The existing EMAS equipment which was launched in 1998 is reaching the end of their service life. The existing EMAS signboards along expressways will be enhanced to be more graphic-enabled to display more information on incidents.

The contract will also include the installation of additional surveillance and incident detection cameras as well as web-cameras to provide motorists with more comprehensive traffic images. Motorists can access these images via LTA’s One Motoring website or My Transport.SG mobile application.
