2nd Working Session

Venue: Bukit Batok Community Club’s Conference Room

Date and time: 29th Feb 2020, 10am

Present： Prof Tay, Meng Foo, Sean Ow, Wei Liang, ShengYiYu, Chee Peng. Aided by Lim Siong

The meeting started with the introduction of Trakomatic and Tysentech to the working committee. The discussion was very fruitful as we achieved a better understanding of both companies’ products. Here we record a few pertinent points as follows:

Tysentech

1. Flexible Bollards are made of material that has a certain memory and could return to their position without causing excessive hurt to the offender.

2. Their material is durable and had been through stringent tests. Their products are commonly used in Korea. Recently they had just completed installation in one of the terminal in Changi Airport.

3. The company is most willing to help in carrying out trial of the bollard to mitigate the intersections of pedestrians, PMDs, wheelchairs (Motorized and manual), and bicycles.

4. Prof Tay suggested that the bollards should look friendly and adorable. Perhaps art pieces can be created using the bollards.

Trakomatic

1. Facial tracking and collecting data are their core competencies

2. They had install their products in the local malls such as Tampines Hub (400 cam) and Funan Mall (600 cam).

3. They have the local images analysed and converted to numerical data and stored in the cloud for retrievers and further analysis of the numerical data. No video footage is stored permanently remotely. Trakomatic will install their hardware and application locally, which would process the video footages into numerical data then sent them to the cloud for storage and retrieval.

4. Programming may take some times, commonly 3-6 months to customised the application. 

5. They suggested to invite Govtech into participating with the studies. We welcome their participation.

6. They showed their mobile camera units for some of their projects. 

7. Cost of implementation estimated for tracking could cost SGD$200,000.

8. Due to lighting condition it may affects results.

We thanked their presentations. Three bollards were used to test out the manual wheelchair and how it could manoeuvre the bollards. Out next course of action would be:

1. Present the idea to MP Mr Murali for the concurrence of a trial.

2. Carried out an initial investigation at a selected site with various PMDs, bicycles, and wheelchair.

3. Initial trial with the bollards to measure their effectiveness. 

4. Present the findings.

We took a site visit and see where are the suitable possibilities.
