A key innovation in our product lineup is the integration of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) with Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS) in our bus terminals. This powerful combination creates a comprehensive safety shield for public transportation vehicles.

The ADAS component provides active safety features including:

  • Lane departure warning
  • Forward collision avoidance
  • Adaptive cruise control
  • Automatic emergency braking

Simultaneously, the DMS system monitors driver behavior through sophisticated facial recognition technology, detecting:

  • Fatigue indicators (yawning, eye closure)
  • Distraction (looking away from the road)
  • Dangerous behaviors (smoking, phone use)
  • Sudden health emergencies

When potentially dangerous conditions are detected by either system, immediate alerts are issued to both the driver and control center. This dual-layer safety approach has demonstrated significant reductions in accident rates for transit operators who have implemented our solutions.
