CSC's Malaysian subsidiary,CSA has once again showed its mettle in implementing and managing large complex projects such as the Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur’s (DBKL)Integrated Transport Information System (ITIS).
The consortium for this project, ITS Konsortium has been collaborating with CSA since December 2002 to provide the back-end system hardware infrastructure and project management services to build ITIS. ITIS comprises two systems, namely, the Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) and the Advanced Traveller Information System (ATIS).
According to CSA’s Senior Technical Consultant, Mr Chin Oi Kuen, the objective of the project is to enable DBKL to constantly update and relay traffic information such as road congestion, ongoing road construction, flooding or incidences on the road to the public and viceversa via DBKL’s website, CCTVs and other traffic monitoring devices.
The ITIS project which is expected to be completed by mid-2005, is divided into two phases. Phase One entails building the Traffic Information Centre (TIC), which is the back up site, located at DBKL’s office at Jalan Raja Laut, while Phase Two involves the construction of the Traffic Management Center (TMC), which acts as the core production site, at Technology Park Malaysia.
"Phase One of the project is close to completion whilst Phase Two is still ongoing. Despite facing some uphill tasks and challenges, the CSA team has shown great commitment, worked through many long nights and collaborated well with the various vendors in the consortium to ensure the project progresses as planned."
"The team has also shown great responsibility despite facing constant changes in the design of the system. Some of them took the initiative to do vigorous testing on new applications which were amended to ensure the solution works," said Chin.
Due to the extensiveness of the project, estimated to be worth RM17 million to date, more than ten experienced CSA staff were required to do the integration of the application software, roadside devices and telecommunications equipment. The team comprises a good mix of a project manager, technical consultants and engineers.
The hardware solutions provided for this project include Sun servers for the following functions: database, transport management application, internal system management and monitoring, web, firewall, financial management, domain name services, email and office automation.
Other solutions incorporated are network products consisting of CISCO core switches and floor switches as well as a F5 load balancer, SAN solution for disk array and tape library, security software for firewall and networks, UPS for both the transport management centers as well as Avaya Call center with the HEAT CTI at the TMC.
