Why it matters
The adoption of AI-driven safety technology in public transport represents a significant step toward reducing road accidents through proactive monitoring.
The Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) is set to install 100 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in its buses to improve road safety, monitor driver behaviour and provide real-time alerts on potential hazards.
Recently, the Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) also announced plans to install ADAS technology in 50 buses as part of a pilot project.
According to KSRTC officials, the systems will be deployed across the corporation’s divisions in Karnataka, with installation and commissioning expected to be carried out between November 2026 and October 2027. The systems are expected to be installed at locations covering 17 KSRTC divisions across the State.
The ADAS units will combine cameras, sensors, GPS, and connectivity features to monitor both the road environment and the driver’s behaviour. The system will include a forward-facing road camera and a driver-monitoring camera, along with other cameras and hardware required for monitoring the surroundings of the bus.
