DSPT2 Portable Onboard Device

Description

This EOI relates to the development, integration and supply of a Portable Onboard Device (POD) to enable safer and more efficient movement of unfitted trains through In Cab signalling areas of Sydney.

Project goals

• Understand existing and potential technology options, and the capability of these options to meet TfNSW’s requirements;
• Understand likely timeframes for design, integration and delivery of the POD and associated elements;
• Shape the nature of the engagement between the supplier and TfNSW, including management of integration, systems assurance and safety assurance within the broader Digital System Program structure;
• Obtain Order Of Magnitude (OOM) costs (non-binding); and
• Shortlist suppliers for the Request For Proposal phase.
