ABSTRACT
As modern railways deploy more 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. Based on lessons learnt from previous projects, this paper highlights the strategy and methodology to be adopted by Land Transport Authority (LTA) in the management of EMC for new projects. EMC assurance function is part of the main project management activities to ensure that the integrated railway network will operate without electromagnetic interference. The process entails inter-system and intra-system EMC studies, hazard/risk analysis, off-site and on-site testing to verify compliance with International Railway EMC standards. It addresses all relevant EMC activities and associated submission of documents needed in various phases of the project to effectively address and resolve Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) issues.
Keywords: EMC, Management, New projects.
