BMTC to install ADAS technology in 50 buses in Bengaluru to improve safety, prevent accidents
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 as part of a pilot project to enhance safety and prevent accidents in the city. The proposed system will monitor driver alertness and behavior, providing real-time warnings for various safety risks on Bengaluru's roads.
The ADAS will consist of cameras, sensors, a driver-monitoring system, and various other components. The system will alert drivers to potential risks such as drowsiness, distraction, forward collision, lane departure, and pedestrian collision. BMTC has issued a tender for the installation of the ADAS in the selected buses, with the selected bidder required to operate and maintain the system for two years from the date of implementation.
The system will be integrated with BMTC's existing systems and monitored through a central dashboard, allowing BMTC officials to access safety event information. The tender specifies that the rental model will cover all necessary equipment, software, and support services, with a single monthly rental charge for each bus.
