The condition monitoring system is expected to reduce the amount of repairs because of bus breakdowns by about 20%. Read more at straitstimes.com.
SINGAPORE - By 2024, SBS Transit will complete the roll-out of a condition monitoring system that is able to predict faults before they happen on its fleet of 3,500 buses.
Modern buses have multiple sensors that feed information to their onboard computers, including data on the electrical circuits, braking system, fuel usage and how the engine is running. Bus technicians such as Mr Thandavarayan Balaji, 53, are able to see the real-time condition of buses in the fleet. He said this overview helps with planning the type of maintenance work, manpower and parts needed.
SBS Transit’s spokesman said the company can also potentially reduce wastage, like discarding brake pads or belts before they are actually worn, by replacing components based on their actual condition instead of relying only on the prescribed replacement interval provided by the bus manufacturer. Mr Ang Soon Yeong, vice-president of bus engineering system and technology at SBS Transit, said the work started in 2022 and the company expects this feature to be fully operational by the second half of 2023.
