Prasarana Malaysia Berhad, one of Malaysia’s largest transport operators, will rely on Thales to integrate its signalling supervision and control systems, which manage SelTrac™ Communications Based Train Control (CBTC) and AlTracTM European Train Control System Level 1 (ETCS L1) platforms, along with Network Management and backup systems, into the new Kuala Lumpur Integrated Control Centre (ICC).
“This prestigious project will be an important milestone in the way Prasarana operates its lines. As a long-term strategic partner to Prasarana, we are proud to share their vision of operational excellence with the creation of this Integrated Control Centre. We look forward to delivering this project which will bring stronger synergies between Prasarana and Rapid Rail and ultimately, enhance the passenger experience for commuters in Kuala Lumpur.” said François-Xavier Boutes, Country Director, Thales Malaysia
The project will also include modifications in three existing Operational Control Centres to be used as backup centres, thereby ensuring a very high level of operational redundancy and system availability. The project is expected to be delivered by April 2023. Thales has been actively involved in Malaysia’s transport sector since 1998 when the Kelana Jaya LRT Line commenced operations with Thales’ SelTrac CBTC system.
