Signaling Systems for APM

Based on a high level of reliability and technological expertise, Kyosan products are in demand worldwide, with numerous equipment installations abroad.

Kyosan's signaling systems are in ever-increasing use globally at large international airports, and unmanned transportation systems in newly developed innovative concept towns, offering the same high reliability and safety the world over.

The Changi Airport Singapore PMS operation began in January, 2008. Kyosan's systems have been in operation worldwide.

The Changi Airport PMS is an unattended transportation system to move passengers between existing Terminals 1 and 2, and the new Terminal 3. Expansion of the existing part was completed in March, 2006. Service between Terminals 1 and 2 commenced first. In January 2008, the system started operation at Terminal 3, with a total distance of approximately 6.5 km, over two zones consisting of four stations on the north side and three stations on the south side.

UL Inspection

	Train Detection / High-performance ATC Devices
	The innovative use of digital technologies has enabled train detection and ATC devices to be simultaneously controlled by a single CPU. Realization of high-density circuitry enables a higher degree of functionality in less space.

	Centralized Facilities
	To facilitate operation and maintenance of facilities, train detection / ATC devices, interlocking equipment, ATO devices and transit controllers have all been consolidated in the same equipment room.

	High-performance Onboard Equipment
	As equipment space is at a premium on most trains, ATC receivers and controllers and ATO controllers have been consolidated into a single unit. This enables equipment to be easily mounted even on single car trains.
