The ITS projects, worth SGD 30 million, involve the provision of consultancy expertise by ST Electronics for an integrated transport platform for a major city in western China. Under this project, the consultancy will design a platform for subsystems like automated incident detection, licence plate recognition, CCTV, traffic signal controls and enforcement system, dynamic messaging and parking guidance, and also control centre and expert systems.

Another ITS project the company has won is in Thailand where ST Electronics has been awarded a contract, which will be completed by the end of next year, for the implementation of an automatic fare collection system for the Silom Line extension of Bangkok’s mass transit system. The company will provide the fare system for stations between Wong Wian Yai and Bang Wa. This project will be completed by end-2012.
