TC 4.0, an end-to-end train safety and train control solution, offers overspeed protection, work zone protection, and temporary speed restriction.
The system can avoid derailments and collisions as a result of trains flouting speed restrictions, missing signals, or entering a wrong track.
Various rail safety features provided by TC 4.0 include continuous monitoring, real-time communications, precision train positioning and non-vital cab signalling.
TRA deputy director general Feng Hui-Sheng said: “The TC 4.0 POC demonstrates TRA’s commitment to safety and diligent work of the entire team who made this happen.
