Provision of Trackside Train Roof and Pantograph Condition Monitoring System
Contract No.: C9161-21E
MTR Corporation Limited invites qualified contractors to express their interest in tendering for the provision of Trackside Train Roof and Pantograph Condition Monitoring System.
The primary functions of the Trackside Train Roof and Pantograph Condition Monitoring System are (1) to capture complete images of the train roof and pantograph of each train running at speeds of up to 135km/h with cameras installed at specific locations along the tracksides, and (2) to automatically detect any defects on the train roof and pantograph, such as carbon strip damage, missing pantograph horn, disorientation, deformation of pantograph/train roof equipment, missing screws and external objects, etc., by software image processing technique. Once the defects are detected, the System shall generate alarm notifications to the operator via mobile network or interfacing with the corporate LAN. The System shall identify each passing train by image processing technique without the use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). A database shall be established by the System to match each pantograph to the train consist for trend analysis. Images acquired by the System shall be readily available for access by the operator via the communication network on demand basis. Due to site limitations, the System shall be designed to be mounted on vertical poles on either side of the tracks and above/or the overhead catenary (e.g. at the portal of tunnels or other overhead structures).
The Contract may be formed from the following depending on the prequalification assessment result:
(1) Design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of seven sets of Trackside Train Roof and Pantograph Condition Monitoring System, including civil and E&M enabling works (such as mounting brackets, cabling, cable connections, power supply, etc.) for facilitating the installation of the System;
or split into the following packages, where tenderers may tender only one or both packages:
(2) Package A - Design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of seven sets of Trackside Train Roof and Pantograph Condition Monitoring System.
Package B - Design, supply and installation of the civil and E&M enabling works (such as mounting brackets, cabling, cable connections, power supply, etc.) for facilitating the installation of the System.
