BMTC to Pilot Advanced Driver Assistance System in 50 Bengaluru Buses
The Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) plans to pilot Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) technology in 50 buses to enhance passenger and road safety. The system includes road-facing, driver-facing, and side cameras, along with sensors and software to detect risks such as driver drowsiness, distraction, phone use, smoking, collisions, lane departures, and pedestrian hazards. Alerts will be sent to drivers and a central dashboard for monitoring. The selected agency will operate and maintain the system for two years post-launch.
