Urban rail platforms need dependable gate control to help manage passenger flow and improve safety at the platform edge. For a multi-station monorail environment, the control system also needs to support consistent operation across many platforms while remaining maintainable by local engineering teams.
This project delivered a Platform Automatic Gate System (PAGS) for KL Monorail, covering 11 stations and 22 platforms for Prasarana. The work included PLC/HMI software development, door control programming, on-site maintenance, training, and platform test equipment support.
Challenge
The KL Monorail platform environment required a gate automation system that could operate reliably across multiple stations and platforms. Each platform needed coordinated control between the local control layer, door control layer, operator interface, and field equipment.
Because the system is part of public transport infrastructure, maintainability was also important. The project needed local technical support, clear handover, and practical tools for testing and maintenance.
Applied Solution
The project scope included software development for the Local Control Unit (LCU) using PLC/HMI, as well as Door Control Unit (DCU) PLC programming. This created the control layer required to operate platform gates consistently across the KL Monorail network.
On-site maintenance support and training were included so the system could be operated and maintained by the responsible teams. A Platform Test Equipment (PTE) set was also delivered to support testing, validation, and maintenance activities.
Outcome Direction
The PAGS project strengthens platform safety control and operational consistency across KL Monorail stations. With PLC/HMI-based local control, door control programming, on-site support, and test equipment, the system provides a maintainable automation foundation for station platform operations.
Delivery was planned across 2025 and 2026 for 11 stations and 22 platforms.
