State
railway firm PT KAI on Thursday announced that it had received a grant worth Rp
5.2 billion (US$598,000) from the US Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) to be
spent on a strategic plan development study to improve its telecommunication
and signaling system.
The grant
was handed by US Ambassador to Indonesia Scot Marciel to PT KAI chief director
Ignasius Johan, in Bandung on Thursday.
The railway
signal system, operated by the train travel chief, is a guide for train
drivers, telling them when to start trains, when to stop them and when to
travel at certain speeds.
PT KAI
signals, telecommunication and electricity deputy chief Ira Nevasa said the
company hoped the study would result in a safer, more efficient and better
quality operating procedure.
