Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are intense bursts of radio emission with durationsof milliseconds. Although researchers have found them happening frequently allover the sky, they are still in the dark to understand what causes thephenomena because the existing radio observatories have encountered certainchallenges during the discovery of FRB progenitors. The construction ofBustling Universe Radio Survey Telescope in Taiwan (BURSTT) is being proposedto solve these challenges. We simulate mock Galactic FRB-like events byapplying a range of spatial distributions, pulse widths and luminosityfunctions. The effect of turbulent Interstellar Medium (ISM) on thedetectability of FRB-like events within the Milky Way plane is considered toestimate the dispersion measure and pulse scattering of mock events. Weevaluate the fraction of FRB-like events in the Milky Way that are detectableby BURSTT and compare the result with those by Survey for TransientAstronomical Radio Emission 2 (STARE2) and Galactic Radio Explorer (GReX). Wefind that BURSTT could increase the detection rate by more than two orders ofmagnitude compared with STARE2 and GReX, depending on the slope of luminosityfunction of the events. We also investigate the influence of the specificationsof BURSTT on its detection improvement. This leads to the fact that greatlyhigher sensitivity and improved coverage of the Milky Way plane havesignificant effects on the detection improvement of BURSTT. We find that theupgrade version of BURSTT, BURSTT-2048 could increase the detection rate offaint Galactic FRB-like events by a factor of 3.
