Advanced Safety System Integration in Public Transport

CASE STUDY

Project Overview: This case study explores the integration of an advanced safety system in public buses using the BOXER-8621AI from AAEON. The system utilises data from cameras and sensors, processing it in real-time to enhance the safety of both passengers and pedestrians.

System Setup:

Hardware: BOXER-8621AI, installed on the ceiling of the bus
Driver Interface: TFT screen on the console for application management
Camera Types: 3 types of cameras by P-Trade (Standard, CVBS, IR)

Key Features:

Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection: The system continuously monitors the surroundings to identify pedestrians and cyclists, providing timely alerts to the driver.
Blind Spot Monitoring: Real-time analysis of blind spots to prevent accidents, especially during lane changes.
Front Collision Warning: Alerts the driver about potential collisions with vehicles or objects ahead, allowing for preventive actions.
Autonomous Emergency Braking: Automatically applies brakes in emergency situations to avoid or mitigate collisions.
Reversing Camera View: Provides a clear view of the area behind the bus, enhancing safety during reversing manoeuvres.
Lane Departure Warning: Warns the driver if the bus unintentionally drifts out of its lane.
Intelligent Speed Assistance: Helps the driver maintain a safe and appropriate speed by providing real-time speed limit information.
Driver Drowsiness and Attention Warning: Monitors the driver’s behaviour for signs of drowsiness or inattention, issuing alerts to ensure they remain focused.
