A pedestrian steps onto the road, hidden in the driver's blind spot. But what if our roads could detect danger and warn drivers before they even see it?

That’s the idea behind the Real-time Risk Assessment Cooperative Mode (ReRAC) system, developed by SIT’s Associate Professor Dan Chia. Using roadside cameras and AI, ReRAC assesses collision risks in real time and delivers instant warnings to connected vehicles and drivers, helping them anticipate hazards before they come into view.

Trialled at Ngee Ann Polytechnic between 2021 to 2025 under realistic traffic conditions, the system saw 57% to 60% of drivers slow down after receiving an alert.

ReRAC was developed in collaboration with MooVita Pte Ltd, STRIDES Frontiers and the University of Glasgow, with support from the National Research Foundation Singapore (NRF) and the Land Transport Authority – We Keep Your World Moving (LTA) under the Urban Mobility Grand Challenge Programme.

By shifting road safety from reacting to hazards to anticipating them, A/Prof Dan Chia’s research demonstrates how predictive AI and intelligent infrastructure can make roads safer for both human drivers and autonomous vehicles.

Before an autonomous vehicle hits the road or emergency responders rely on a communications network, engineers need to know: will it work when it matters most?

That is the challenge behind a new Research Collaboration Agreement between SIT's Future Communications Translation Lab (FCTLab) and Keysight Technologies. Together, they are developing a platform that enables advanced 5G-enabled systems to be tested under realistic network conditions before deployment.

Whether supporting autonomous vehicle operations, remote ship pilotage or public safety communications, reliable performance is essential. By recreating real-world conditions in a controlled environment, researchers can better understand how these systems perform and identify potential issues before deployment.

Beyond advancing research, the collaboration will create learning opportunities for SIT students. Insights and methodologies derived from the project will be incorporated into the Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Engineering programme, helping students gain exposure to emerging communications technologies and industry practices. Student involvement through capstone and integrative projects is also being explored.

Working alongside industry to solve real-world challenges is what we do as Singapore's University for Industry. Collaborations like these translate research into practical solutions that can benefit industries and communities.

A New Age of Ageing: How Technology Is Transforming Longevity in Singapore

Singaporeans already enjoy one of the world's longest life expectancies. Today, advances in artificial intelligence, biotechnology and nanomedicine open new possibilities for how long – and how well – we may live.

If longer lifespans become the norm, how will that reshape the way we work, retire, receive healthcare and care for one another?

As Singapore navigates life as a super-aged society, join us for a conversation on the technologies driving longevity, and what our future could look like when 100 becomes the new 50.

AI can detect wildfires from space.
It can also increase carbon emissions.

Technology may be one of our greatest tools in the fight for sustainability. So how can we harness its potential without being part of the problem?

That was the question at the heart of SIT’s 4th Chief Sustainability Officer Community of Practice (CSO CoP).

Featuring leaders from Google, JTC Corporation, and the National University Health System, the discussion explored questions every organisation will soon have to answer: How do we decarbonise data centres? What talent will power a sustainable digital future? And how can AI make organisations more resource-efficient?

By bringing leaders together to exchange insights and best practices, the CSO CoP translates individual experience into collective progress.

As Singapore’s University for Industry, SIT plays that convening role by bringing academia and industry together to tackle real-world challenges. Beyond dialogue, these ideas are put into practice through industry partnerships, talent development, and real-world testbeds at our Punggol Campus. Systems like the multi-energy microgrid with SP Group and district cooling with ENGIE demonstrate what sustainable innovation looks like at scale.

What does a campus designed for the future look like? At SIT Punggol Campus, the answer isn't just something you see – it's something our students experience every day.

Smart sensor networks. Integrated building management systems. A solar photovoltaic system and multi-energy microgrid – not as a showcase, but as a working part of how the campus operates.

That's what brought a delegation from Argentina to our doors: Mr Guillermo Constancio Acosta, Minister of Economy and Public Management of the Province of Córdoba, and H.E. Mauricio Nine, Ambassador of the Argentine Republic to Singapore.

Being embedded in the Punggol Digital District means our students don't just learn about industry, they train and work alongside real companies through attachments and joint projects. The delegation was particularly interested to see this model, raising the possibility of student exchanges and overseas work attachments that could open doors for our students to gain experience across industries and cities.

We're grateful for the exchange with our friends from Argentina, and we look forward to seeing where this conversation leads. 🤝
