SMRT Active Route Map Information System

The SMRT Active Route Map Information System (stylized as STARiS) is a rail travel information system developed in house by communications engineers from SMRT Corporation for its North South Line and East West Line trains in Singapore. This system was officially announced on November 7, 2008 and firstly installed on a Kawasaki Heavy Industries C151 train, trainset 053/054 for a 2-month trial. This was later extended to other trains from February 2009.

An earlier tested version of the Active Route Map had the North South Line and East West Line map with a black background and had an additional LED screen capable of displaying text. The text and station symbols were also not in the standard Land Transport Authority (LTA) font and design while the light indicating the side doors would open was a single small light. Only some of the remaining unrefurbished C151 trains uses it until November 2007.

Later on, beginning from trainset 053/054 as a refurbished train, this has since been modified to the current version based on the LTA font, symbols and based on a white background with a separate VFD for displaying text located aside from the Active Route Map and 6 LED bulbs now indicate the side train doors open. The STARIS maps was updated from June 2013 to 1 July 2014 to include new stations added to the MRT System such as Marina South Pier MRT Station and a new line which is currently known as the Downtown Line.

The STARIS maps was updated again in 2017 to include the new stations added to the East West Line in the MRT System which are Gul Circle MRT Station, Tuas Crescent MRT Station, Tuas West Road MRT Station and Tuas Link MRT Station as they will open on 18 June 2017.
