LTA to roll out AI system using bus cameras to detect bus lane encroachments, road defects
The system achieved an average accuracy of 90 per cent in trials, with deployment starting in the fourth quarter of 2026 and expansion to all bus routes by 2030.
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) plans to roll out an AI-powered video analytics system using existing bus cameras to detect bus lane encroachments, road defects, and non-compliant road works. This system achieved 90% accuracy in trials and will begin deployment in the fourth quarter of 2026, expanding to all bus routes by 2030.
LTA claims the technology will relieve bus captains of manual duties and improve safety by enabling timely rectification or enforcement of infractions. The system will complement an upgrade to the Bus Fleet Management System and a fully automated safety audio announcement feature, which has been well-received since piloting in August 2025.
Additionally, LTA is working with bus operators to address driver fatigue by adjusting routes, introducing driver swaps, and shortening driving times for buses with prolonged runtimes. These measures aim to enhance bus safety and support bus captains in their professional development.
