Summary of Tapping Tech for Smoother Traffic Draft# 1


In the article “Tapping Tech for smoother traffic”, Tay Qiao We reported that Singapore is progressing towards its vision of a smart and car lite nation by tapping on technology over the decades. Tay stated that, Singapore faced many issues in its transport system despite being a small country. Having the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) and the Area Licensing Scheme (ALS), was not enough to cope with its transport demands. Tay mentioned that, The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has introduced the Intelligent Transport System (ITS), which has a large network of systems that uses technology to collect real-time traffic information. That will aid road users in planning for their journey. Tay claimed that, based on statistics these implementations were able to reduce motorist’s travelling time which translates into reduction of cost. Tay concluded that Singapore will be looking to tap on technology to improve its transport system.

  1. Hi Jun Heng, after reading your summary here is a few comments that my team would like to highlight:

    1. For the citation information,
    - you did not include the year of the article
    - you can use author's family name instead of the full name
    - you did not state where did you get the article from.

    2. "Singapore faced many issues in its transport system despite being a small country." In the article it did not exactly state that Singapore is a small country.

    Overall, the summary is well-elaborated.
