The QTMP will support Southeast Queensland’s population and economic growth, as well as the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, says the company.
According to ST Engineering, the enhanced AGIL PIS boasts features like a “hearing loop”, which can transmit audio directly to hearing aids while filtering out background noise for clear audio reception. This will help passengers with hearing loss.
Another feature is the Automated Real-time Passenger Counting System (ARPC). Using video analytics, the ARPC provides accurate, real-time information on passenger density within train cars. The system helps train operators dynamically regulate train schedules to better manage passenger loading and informs passengers on station platforms about less-crowded train cars, says ST Engineering.
“In addition to strengthening our presence in Australia, this contract marks our largest international PIS win to date, showcasing our rail capabilities,” says Chew Men Leong, president of urban solutions at ST Engineering. “It underscores our commitment to delivering innovative, quality and reliable rail solutions. We look forward to contributing our expertise to this transformative project in Queensland.”
