AI-based tech upgrade in UP buses to curb accidents
The Uttar Pradesh government is trying out anti-collision devices on state transport buses to bring down high accident rates. As a pilot project, six buses plying on Lucknow-New Delhi and Lucknow-Gorakhpur routes have been fitted with these Artificial Intelligence based equipment that gives alerts to the driver to avoid collision. The sensor fitted at the front of the bus continuously monitors objects in the range of 180 feet and cautions the bus driver with a beep sound, in case of any danger of collision. "The AI based sensor continuously monitors bus drivers on six parameters and alerts them in case of any breach on those fronts. It produces a beep sound to caution the driver to take pre-emptive measure," said Raj Shekhar Managing Director, Uttar Pradesh State Roadways Transport Corp. "The initial quotation shared by the company was Rs 42,000 per unit, but we will try and get a better price as the government will go for a bulk procurement and annual maintenance contract with the company," Shekhar added.
