LRT3 Shah Alam Line FFR to be completed by end of February – paultan.org

In January, it was reported that the LRT3 Shah Alam Line would continue to be delayed due to issues that would reduce its error-free run (FFR). The COO (Strategy and Development) of the Prasarana group, Dr. Prodyut Dutt, however, has now said that the FFR is progressing well and all phases are expected to be completed by the end of this month. Named reports.

The first batch of six trains is currently 99% complete, the second batch of eight trains is 82% complete and the third batch of eight trains is yet to commence. All three FFR phases are expected to be completed by January 30, February 2 and February 28 respectively, he said.

“After the FFR, the contractor will have to perform another activity, namely the test run. We are not fixated on timelines, but on the deliverables. The test run must be completed 100% successfully before Prasarana agrees to take over the contractor’s system and proceed with the test run.

“So while we are aiming for the FFR to be ready by February 28, there will still be trial runs that the contractor has to conduct. We have to take it step by step. As I said earlier, our main focus is on the contractor’s deliverables, not the timelines,” Dutt said recently, adding that issues such as instability of signaling software, software glitches, train docking issues and departure issues have been resolved by the engineering team.

The line is expected to generate an approximately 7% increase in passenger traffic at the existing MRT stations along the Kajang and Kelana Jaya lines, with daily passenger numbers expected to reach 100,000 by 2030.

“Once the test runs have been completed and all standard operating procedures have been refined to cover all possible scenarios – be it a lightning strike or even an obstruction on the track – all test documents must be submitted to the regulator, the Country Public Transport Agency (APAD).

“APAD will have to review all documents before approval is granted. We are working very closely with APAD, who are involved in the FFR and will also be involved in the sea trials,” he said.

Last year, Prasarana confirmed that the Shah Alam Line would not enter service until 2025 due to excellent system stability and software issues identified during the testing and commissioning phase.

Prasarana president and group CEO Amir Hamdan said the opening date would only be announced once all technical components, including signaling systems, train software and full network integration, are certified to operate reliably in accordance with APAD standards.
