According to officials, the proposed system is aimed at improving passenger and road safety by monitoring driver alertness and behaviour, and providing real-time warnings for various safety risks
The Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) plans to install Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) technology in 50 buses in Bengaluru as part of a pilot project to enhance safety and prevent accidents. The system, which includes cameras and sensors, will monitor driver alertness and behaviour and provide real-time warnings for various safety risks on Bengaluru’s roads, such as drowsiness, distraction, forward collision risks, lane departure, and pedestrian collision risks.
The ADAS will be integrated with BMTC’s existing systems and will be covered by a single monthly rental charge for each bus.
