Transit Bus On-board

Trains are the most common form of public transportation worldwide, but local city buses are next. For bus systems in particular, a wide range of safety concerns, rider experience issues, and efficient operation obstacles stand in the way of an otherwise busy and fluid transit system for millions of people. How to effectively manage bus operations and supervise safe driving habits has become an inevitable challenge that transportation departments are forced to face.

Hikvision’s solution can help operators facilitate a comprehensive management system. This system converges abnormal detection, emergency alarms, video security, intelligent driving assistance, and central management, guaranteeing efficiency, safety, and security across the whole transit bus system. Read on to learn how this solution can work for you.

Challenges

Low-definition video security with dead angles may miss potential risks in the cabin and seating areas, increasing the risk of riding public transit buses. While operators also lack effective ways to handle on-board issues quickly and effectively.

Low-definition video security with dead angles

Inefficient incident handling

Hikvision’s solution helps operators establish high definition on-board video security. The intelligent video security combined with emergency alarms and intercom provide added levels of security to passengers and drivers on the buses.
