Electromagnetic compatibility design management challenges on Downtown Line (DTL) project

Abstract

As modern railways deploy more complex and sensitive equipment, railway systems are increasingly vulnerable to electromagnetic interference. Effective Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) management is an important integral part of project management in ensuring successful delivery of railway projects. This paper highlights some challenges faced by Land Transport Authority (LTA) in the management of EMC during the DTL project design stage. To effectively address and resolve these challenges, strategy and methodology for future new projects design stage EMC management are revised and adopted.
