SBS Transit Rail puts its trust in 6Sense
[SINGAPORE] The Republic's public transport system is renowned worldwide for its reliability, efficiency and seamless connectivity – a vital backbone supporting the city-state's bustling urban life. As the demands on this network continue to grow, SBS Transit Rail is pushing the boundaries of operational excellence with Project 6Sense.
This innovative, data-driven solution is designed to ensure that the North East Line (NEL) and Downtown Line (DTL) deliver consistently smooth journeys for more than a million commuters every day. By harnessing advanced analytics and artificial intelligence (AI), Project 6Sense exemplifies how Singapore continues to set new standards in public transportation management and commuter experience.
The development of Project 6Sense followed a meticulous design-thinking process. SBS Transit's data analytics team began by empathising with the operations team, understanding the challenges they faced when dealing with train faults.
They also recognised the limitations of traditional methods, which involved manually collecting and processing data from disparate sources, and embarked on a journey to create a comprehensive, automated solution. The team identified the need for a unified platform that could automate data retrieval and processing. Through ideation, they developed data pipelines to streamline data processing according to user needs.
Prototypes of the dashboard were created in Power BI and rigorously tested before user acceptance testing was conducted using historical train incidents. The data-driven dashboard offers a holistic view of the health status of individual trains across the entire fleet, and categorises trains into four health statuses: healthy trains, trains on watch list, trains with a high false alarm rate and at-risk trains.

Little Simz — Lotus
The resilient lotus flower, which seeks light and blossoms out of muddy waters, carries heavy religious symbolism. The allegory to Lotus , Little Simz' stellar sixth album, is obvious. The artisanal British rapper has gone through a tumultuous period yet emerged with music that transforms trauma into triumph. Lotus comes roaring out the gate with 'Thief', a scathing diss track aimed at childhood friend and long-term producer Inflo, accusing him of "financial [and] emotional exploitation." In March, Simz sued Inflo (real name Dean Cover) over an alleged £1.7million (AU$3.5m) in unpaid loans. Over a murky arrangement of stalking bass, horror movie strings and spaghetti western guitars, Simz snarls: " I'm lucky that I got out now / It's a shame, I really feel sorry for your wife … This person I've known my whole life, coming like a devil in disguise .' Penultimate track 'Lonely' offers a more pensive take on the relationship breakdown. Simz confesses ' I was lonely making an album, attempted it four times' , leading to a crisis of confidence where she nearly called quits on her music career. ' Tryna make an album means baring your whole truth/unpacking the f**kery I'm trying to heal through,' she laments over smoky piano and backing that's as spare as 'Thief' is fiery. The demise of such a crucial creative partnership would tank most artists. But Simbiatu Ajikawo is absolutely not most artists. Across the record's 13 tracks she sounds as commanding as ever, tapping her full toolkit — devilishly smart bars and devastatingly honest lyricism; a thoughtful approach to mixing sounds and genres — to re-assert her artistry. Helping exercise her demons is new producer Miles Cinton James, who wrangles everything from swooning orchestras to funky ensembles for instrumentals that span rock ('Flood'), jazzy neo-soul ('Free'), acoustics ('Peace'), Afrobeat, bossa nova and beyond. Also on hand is an impressive cast of guests, including Little Dragon's Yukimi Nagano, the tender-voiced Sampha, and Obongjayar — the Nigerian-born, London-based polymath enhancing the thudding 'Flood' and swaggering stand-out 'Lion'. 'We don't care for what they say, that's my superpower' he boasts casually on Simz' behalf on the latter against a smooth, West African-inflected groove that's diabolically catchy. The brilliant Michael Kiwanuka is a soulful ballast to Simz' bite on the title track, a sprawling epic that allows breathing room for acclaimed jazz drummer Yussef Dayes to strut his stuff. Another raw highlight is 'Blood', a back-and-forth with British rapper Wretch 32 that plays out as an arresting, authentic conversation between frustrated siblings. It proves Simz is a master of the storytelling craft as much as revered MCs like Kendrick Lamar and Dave It isn't all so serious, though. The slinky 'Only' and toy-piano-and-bass-charged 'Enough' engage with playful braggadocio. Meanwhile, the tongue-in-cheek 'Young' sounds like it escaped from The Streets' discography, Simz adopting a rich-kid persona to skewer class disparity. Each track on Lotus stands tall in isolation, but taken together it results in a rewarding listening experience that's balanced between 2021's dense, Mercury Prize winning Sometimes I Might Be Introvert and the tough urgency of its surprise follow-up, 2022's No Thank You . Though Lotus was born from grief, anger, self-doubt, and burnout, Simz sounds like an elite athlete recovering from an injury that's only briefly affected her game. It marks a major turning point in her career but is less a rebirth and more an evolution, a re-affirmation of Little Simz's legacy as one of hip hop's all-time greats.

US Open final round play suspended due to dangerous weather
OAKMONT, Pennsylvania :Heavy rain and dangerous weather forced a stoppage in play during the final round of the U.S. Open on Sunday at Oakmont Country Club where overnight leader Sam Burns was clinging to a one-shot lead over Australian Adam Scott. Players were evacuated from the course at 4:01 p.m. ET (2001 GMT) with dangerous weather in the area while driving rain left water pooling up on the putting surface. Burns, who started the day one shot clear of Day and J.J. Spaun and seeking his first major title, was two over for the day through his first seven holes. Scott, the 44-year-old Australian playing in his 96th consecutive major, mixed three bogeys with a birdie over his first seven holes. Spaun fell back early as he opened his round with three consecutive bogeys, including at the par-four second when he caught an unlucky break as his approach took one hop and hit the flagstick before spinning back down the fairway some 50 yards. Among the early starters, twice major champion Jon Rahm closed with a three-under 67 that was his best round of the week to reach four over. Reigning Masters champion Rory McIlroy also saved his best for last and carded a 67 to reach seven over. Pre-tournament favourite and world number one Scottie Scheffler, who began the final round eight shots off the lead, was one over through his first 11 holes.
