The system is being tested on 27 buses serving routes 29, 40, 81 and 137.
SINGAPORE - When Mr Tan Chee Kiong, a senior bus captain with public bus company SBS Transit , is at the controls of bus service 81, the roads are quite often clogged before Nex shopping mall and along the Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway.
The initiative – which SBST and ST Engineering described as the first 360-degree advanced collision warning system to be tested on buses here – was unveiled on May 24 at Bedok North Bus Depot. Video analytics technology and artificial intelligence are used to distinguish between pedestrians and vehicles.
These road users are also alerted via a blinker and buzzer on the side of the bus if they come within 4.3m of the bus.A red LED blinker on both sides of the bus to alert pedestrians.

Like Mobileye, Agil DriveSafe+ can detect lane markings and alert bus drivers if they change lanes without signalling.
To assess its effectiveness, surveys will be done with bus drivers who will be asked to rate the system and their different features. There will also be one-to-one sessions to seek feedback from bus drivers on how to improve the system.
