NCS has pilot launched the Breeze@Tiong Bahru transport app that aims to bring drivers greater convenience and better driving experiences.
With help from multiple sets of data, artifical intelligence (AI) and video analytics, the app provides real-time hyper-localised information that lets drivers find the nearest available parking, check for the best parking rates, see Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) price changes, and get vicinity information such as local eats, point of interest and walking trails.
It is a community initiative by NCS in collaboration with Tiong Bahru Community Centre and Tiong Bahru Market Hawkers’ Association.
The pilot aims to ease traffic flow by facilitating information for drivers on parking availability and pricing and by extension, encouraging park and walk options.
During the six-month pilot, NCS will work with retailers, residents and visitors in Tiong Bahru to gather user-generated content and feedback on Breeze to further improve the parking and walking experiences of the precinct.
“This pilot project in Tiong Bahru with NCS can also pave the way for other uses, such as promoting heritage trials in the area, or even be used in other neighbourhoods,” said Indranee Rajah, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office, Second Minister for Finance and National Development and Adviser to Tanjong Pagar GRC Grassroots Organisations.
