  Auto ‘sentinels’ to stand guard?

  A TRUCK packed with explosives bursts through the drop-arm barrier at a bus interchange and heads straight for the crowded terminal next to an MRT station.

  .

  But before it can get any nearer, sensors detect the unauthorised vehicle, triggering several bollards that rise up out of the ground to stop the truck.

  .

  The Public Transport Security Committee is working with security vendor SecurEdge to test this security feature that could protect bus interchanges and MRT stations — which, over the years, will be integrated — from such attacks.

  .

  Manual bollards operated by security officers are costly and can affect bus operations adversely, said the Land Transport Authority, which is one of several stakeholders, including ministries and transport operators, in the committee.

  .

  Trials of the automated bollards started in September and will end in the third quarter of next year. - ANSLEY NG

  Looks like they bought a Dennis Dart model and stickered the bus into SMRT livery, and SBST model may be also the one from ToyRus, and they stickered the SBS Transit over but it looks small. If I am right, these 2 models were bought from ToyRus or otherwise.

  if they use such systems like checkpoints, that may be more effective than bollards. checkpoint system can make ur tyres "massively" punctured.
