NEC Corporation has received an order to build a communications system and a Facility Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition System (Facility SCADA System) for the Jakarta Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) North-South Line Extension Project Phase 2 from Larsen & Toubro Limited, a major India-based construction company and a specialized subcontractor of the main contractor Sojitz Corporation, a leading Japan-based trading company. This project is being supported by the Japanese government through a development assistance loan from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
Indonesia’s Capital Territory of Jakarta faces serious traffic congestion and air pollution as a result of rapid motorization. Improving the capacity of public transportation is now an urgent issue, and in recent years, progress has been made in the development of an urban high-speed railroad system.
The second phase of the Jakarta Urban Mass Rapid Transit North-South Line Extension Project will extend the 16-km line (Lebak Bulus Grab Station - Bundaran HI Station) opened in the first phase further north by approximately 6 km (between Bundaran HI Station and Kota Station), for a total length of approximately 22 km. The line will carry passengers between Lebak Bulus Grab Station to Kota Station in approximately 45 minutes and is scheduled to be fully operational in 2030.
As with Phase 1, which was completed in March 2019, NEC will build the communications system, as well as a facility control and data collection system for the extension. The communications system will feature a telecommunications ring for a backbone transmission network system, a public address system, and more. The Facility SCADA System will monitor and control devices and processes that are necessary for railroad operations, as well as systems for collecting data.
"By utilizing advanced digital technologies and actively working to develop transportation infrastructure, NEC will continue contributing to new developments in Indonesia and enhancing conveniences for passengers," said Misako Ebisawa, General Manager, Global Transport Integration Department, NEC Corporation. "We will remain committed to enhancing our capabilities in order to provide safe, secure, and efficient transportation infrastructure to communities around the world."
