AGIL® Intelligent Traffic Management System

Increasing urbanisation and traffic congestion pose significant impact on cities’ liveability and sustainability. It is crucial for cities to harness technology to accelerate digital transformation and achieve a more connected and greener transport ecosystem that improves quality of life for citizens while supporting global decarbonisation efforts.

ST Engineering's AGIL® Urban Traffic Management System leverages advanced technologies such as AI, machine learning, automation and data analytics to provide complete situational awareness of road networks and real-time information of transport resources with useful insights for enhancing traffic efficiency and improving commuter travel journey. It enables transport authorities and traffic controllers to better manage traffic flow and predict traffic patterns, minimising urban congestion and reducing carbon emissions while facilitating timely incident response. 

Conventional traffic signal control solutions are unable to dynamically manage junctions in line with changing traffic conditions. The AGIL® Smart Digital Junction Suite optimises traffic signal timings based on real-time traffic conditions, improving traffic flow and reducing vehicle idling time and delays on the road. By harnessing edge processing and AI-driven algorithms, it simplifies and optimises junction management and supports emerging technologies such as LiDAR and Vehicle-to-Everything connectivity, reducing congestions and carbon emissions for cities.

AGIL® Smart Water Solutions

Globally, approximately one-third of the water intended for consumption never reaches its intended destination or remains unbilled. This is primarily due to issues like pipe leakages, unauthorised connections and inadequate metering solutions. With increasing water scarcity, a smarter, more reliable water supply and management infrastructure contributes directly to the liveability of cities.

1. AGIL® Advanced Water Metering Infrastructure and Smart Meters
ST Engineering’s AGIL® Advanced Water Metering Infrastructure connects and manages millions of water meters around the world. Its Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI) solutions leverage radio-based technology to automate meter readings and remotely collect water usage data in real-time. By fully automating meter reading, billing and data collection processes, AMI empowers water utility authorities and cities to prevent non-revenue losses and protect water resources while delivering responsive services to customers to better manage water supply and consumption.

2. AGIL® Automated Water Leak Detection Solution
Water loss in the water supply system and high cost of maintaining pipes can be a critical issue to cities, especially water-scarce cities. ST Engineering's AGIL®  Automated Water Leak Detection solution integrates the use of advanced sensors with an IoT platform to support continuous and automatic monitoring of water supply systems that enable early detection of water leakages, and defective pipes and faults.

Airbitat Sustainable Cooling Solutions

Faced with challenges from rising global temperatures, there is a need to address the increasing energy demand, carbon footprint and operational costs in cooling urban infrastructures. Conventional cooling by chillers or Direct Expansion systems are highly energy-intensive and have significant environmental impact due to excessive generation of waste heat. 

ST Engineering's Airbitat range of high-performance, eco-friendly evaporative cooling solutions cools powerfully and efficiently. Powered by our patented Reevac® Deep Cooling technology, Airbitat delivers cooling performance that is 50% more effective than conventional air coolers and consumes up to 80% less electricity than air-conditioning of a similar capacity – all without generating any waste heat. It uses a three-step cold water generation process for cooling without the use of environmentally harmful refrigerants or energy-intensive compressors.

The award-winning Airbitat cooling solution is suitable for all kinds of weather conditions, including challenging environments such as tropical and temperate climates. It cools indoor and outdoor spaces efficiently and effectively. For data centre applications, it pre-cools the hot return air from the data centres, taking over 40% reduction in conventional chiller load and achieving overall energy savings with reduced carbon footprint. Our solutions play a critical role in decarbonisation, empowering cities with a greener and more liveable future.

Autonomous Smart Drone Solution for Monitoring of Reservoirs

With a small operational carbon footprint, ST Engineering's DroNet is an electrically powered network of drones that are operated Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) from a command hub. BVLOS means the operation of drones at distances outside the normal visible range of the pilot. The command hub uses automated procedures to enable a small team to deploy multiple drones concurrently. The drones can be launched and recovered autonomously from drone stations at designated sites without the need for an on-site support crew.

The DroNet's Video Analytics module employs Deep Neural Network models that are trained to detect the presence of vessels and aquatic plants in the reservoirs. Drones are flown to capture aerial imageries of the reservoirs to count the vessels in the reservoirs and to classify whether the aquatic plants are near or under water surface. The monitoring would otherwise require the efforts of many boatmen to patrol the reservoirs using diesel-powered boats.

Hyperspectral sensors are integrated onto the drones, tuned and regressed to measure the level of chlorophyll-a and turbidity remotely. In addition to offering wider coverage within a shorter time frame, the measurement capability also provides near real-time water quality data, eliminating the need for laboratory tests on water samples.

A web-based Viewing Platform and mobile-based Alert Notification System were developed to share real-time data and notifications with users, improving their operational response time.
