Hitachi Rail and Strides Engineering to Upgrade CCTV Systems on Singapore's Oldest Metro Lines

Singapore's Land Transport Authority has awarded Hitachi Rail and Strides Engineering the renewal of CCTV systems across the North-South and East-West Lines, enhancing the infrastructure and camera capacity at over 50 stations.

At its core, the upgrade features a centralized Video Management System (VMS) and Video Transmission Network (VTN) to manage both new and existing cameras across the NSEWL stations.

Hitachi Rail will provide the overall system solution and Strides Engineering will conduct the physical deployment. The combined expertise will ensure each station is equipped with state-of-the-art security technology seamlessly integrated into the Operations Control Centre.

On Singapore’s NSEWL, Hitachi Rail is also delivering the signaling system renewal, a project commissioned in 2017 for the North-South Line, followed by the East-West Line in 2018. This is one of the largest re-signaling projects in the world. With this new CCTV project, NSEWL will be further enhanced in operational efficiency for CCTV monitoring and passenger safety, marking a step forward in the evolution of Singapore's public transport infrastructure.

Benoît Couture, Vice-President of Integrated Communication and Supervision Systems (ICS) at Hitachi Rail GTS, commented, "We are committed to bolstering passenger security in Singapore’s public transportation with our cutting-edge solutions. We are grateful for the confidence of LTA in this extensive project as a technology provider."

Tang Yu Feng, General Manager of Hitachi Rail GTS Singapore, said, "Our partnership with Strides Engineering forms a strong team to ensure a high level of customer commitment. Our CCTV solution will enhance security on Singapore’s oldest and most heavily used lines."
