The Annual Railway Summit, Conference and Innovation Competition (ARSCIC) 2025, organized by the Metro System Academy UTHM Training Centre (MSA UTHM), was held from 18th - 20th November 2025. Ms. Wan Nurnadiera Aiza Binti Zakariah, Ms. Aznira Binti Zakaria and Ts. Abdul Halim Bin Abdul Rahman staff TAR UMT Pahang Branch participated in the Professional Inventor (Academics and Industry) Category in this competition.

They received Gold Awards for their projects with the title of their project is Quiet Sphere: Intelligent Acoustic Zones for Transport Hubs. ‘Blocking the Noise, Protecting What Matters'.

This project introduces an AI-powered noise control system designed to make busy public spaces quieter and more pleasant. The system uses microphones to "listen" to the environment and loudspeakers to produce special sound waves that cancel out disturbing noises. Artificial intelligence is used to tell the difference between unwanted noise (like screeching brakes or humming machines) and useful sounds (like voices or safety announcements).
