KSRTC to implement AI in buses for passenger safety: DCM Laxman Savadi
Bengaluru, Jun 9: A major project of using Artificial Intelligence in state transport corporation buses for passengers' safety and to avoid accidents will be implemented, Deputy Chief Minister Laxman Savadi said here on Wednesday.
Savadi, who holds the transport portfolio, said the Collegian Warning System (CWS) and Driver Drowsiness System (DDS) are the two types of technologies which would be put in place.
While the CWS would give forward looking collision warning, lane departure warning and virtual bumper and other alerts, the DDS would prevent drivers from sleeping.
In addition, these technologies can transmit information to the control room, keeping the driver alert and avoiding accidents and disasters, Savadi said in a statement
He said the plans were to introduce this technology in 1,044 KSTRC buses over the next few days and increase it progressively.

Injured Phil Salt returns home for scans
New Delhi (PTI): Royal Challengers Bengaluru opener Phil Salt has returned to England for scans on a finger injury sustained last month.
The injury has kept Salt out of RCB's last three matches, with compatriot Jacob Bethell stepping in at the top of the order.
The 29-year-old is reported to have "damaged a finger on his left hand" while diving to save a boundary at deep backward square leg during RCB's defeat to Delhi Capitals at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on April 18.
"Salt, who is centrally contracted by the ECB, has since returned home at the request of England's management and has undergone scans on his finger," ESPNCricinfo reported.
According to the report, both RCB and Salt are hopeful of a speedy recovery and the opener can return to India later this month.
Salt had enjoyed a strong start to the season, amassing 202 runs in six innings at an impressive strike rate of 168.33.
RCB are currently second on the points table behind Punjab Kings. They take on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Thursday next.
