ITS in Singapore Deployment and Innovation of ITS in SingaporeDer-Horng Lee, PhDAssociate ProfessorDepartment of Civil EngineeringNational University of Singapore
Singapore is a city state in South East Asia, a garden city.
Independence: 9 August 1965 Land: approx. 660 sq km Population: approx. 4 million Vehicles: approx. 700,000
Singapore in Global Transportation • World top airport: Changi Int’l Airport • World top airline: Singapore Airlines • World busiest port: number 1 transshipment port • World top port operator: PSA • Comprehensive and efficient land transport systems: backboned by ITS
Land Transport in Singapore • Total road length 3,110 km (including 150 km of expressways and 571 km of major arterials) • Vehicle population: 710,000 (including 400,000 private passenger cars) • Mass rapid transit: 65 stations, 105 km of tracks • Bus transport: 3,400 buses serving 200+ routes, 2 operators • Taxi: 19,000 fleet size, 7 operators • Mode share: 55% by bus and mass transit

Land Transport Authority (LTA) • Established in 1995 • Under Ministry of Transport • Single agency responsible for land transport policy, facilities, operations and management • ITS has been adopted as a main strategy
LTA’s White Paper Multi-pronged strategy • Integrated planning • Expansion of road network • Improve public transport • Demand management • Harness advanced technologies
ITS Deployments in Singapore • Expressway Monitoring and Advisory System (EMAS) • Adaptive traffic signal control, GLIDE (Singapore’s version of SCATS) • Transit.Smart • Traffic.Smart • i-transport
Road Pricing • Manual road pricing introduced in the Central Business District (CBD) since 1975 • High manpower needs, inconvenient, limited in varying road pricing charges
Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) • Automated with the Road Pricing system (Area Licensing Scheme, ALS) • Fully replacing the manual scheme in Sep 98 • A new generation of ERP is being studied

Green Link Determining (GLIDE) Systems • Based on SCATS • Implemented since 1988 • More than 2,000 intersections in 17 regions • S$27.5 million (US$15 million) • Network pattern
Junction Electronic Eyes (J-Eyes) • PTZ surveillance cameras at intersections • Started with 5 intersections in 1999 • Expanded to 230 intersections in 2004 • S$14 million (US$8 million)
Automated Taxi Dispatching System • Based on DGPS receivers and wireless private networks • Adopted by all operators • Approximately 100,000 dispatches a day
TrafficScan • Based on speed gathered by taxis with DGPS receivers
ez-Link Farecard System • Since April 2002 • Contactless smart card • Use in MRT, buses, & potentially taxi and other business transactions • Tap on processors at entrance & exit • Max fare deducted at entrance but refund at exit • Fare calculation aided by DGPS MRT processor Bus processor
ez-Link Farecard System • Bus system • 2 bus companies • 3,400 buses • 200+ routes • 3.13 million pax-trips/day • MRT system • 105 km of parallel tracks • 65 stations • 1.3 million pax-trips/day • Bus+MRT • 4.4 million pax-trips/day • 55% of home-to-work trips
http://www.onemotoring.com.sg • S$3.8 million (US$2 million)
Transit.Smart • Phase 1 • Static bus and train information • Operational at http://transit.smart.lta.gov.sg • Phase 2 • With real-time vehicle location system

i-transport • Integrated control facilities at ITS Centre • Scalable data warehouse for information dissemination and research • Customized applications such as statistical, inference and simulation tools • Web-based data pipeline for all authorized users • To be completed by 2005 2003 2005
Remarks • >S$420 million (US$233 million) has been spent • >S$0.6 million per km of major road • >S$600 per vehicle • Earlier (pre-2000) systems are independent & isolated • Already moving into 2nd generation of integrated and interoperable system
Remarks • ITS technology testbed • Integrations • ITS systems, deployments • Transport technologies, transport policies, land use, and urban development • Emphasis on operation and sustainability instead of ad-hoc deployments • ITS business model
