Annual Report 2021

51 2021 Annual Report Transport International Holdings Limited Driving Monitoring System (“DMS”) This device, mounted on the dashboard, uses image-processing and advanced facial recognition technology to detect the level of alertness of a driver. Early audio alerts and vibration warnings will be activated when a fatigue or abnormal situation is detected. Advanced Driver Assistance System (“ADAS”) The device is installed on the lower saloon windscreen and uses image-processing technology to detect obstacles on the road and the corresponding distance. Early audio alerts and vibration warnings will be activated when “unsafe” conditions are detected. Electronic Stability Programme (“ESP”) The ESP is an important safety feature to prevent a bus from skidding or overturning when cornering or operating on a slippery road surface. Speed Limiting Retarder (“SLR”) SLR enhances the speed limiters of our fleets. The current speed limiters cut off fuel supply to the engine when the speed limit is reached. The SLR automatically activates the brakes or retarder to prevent speeding when travelling downhill. Safety Belts KMB and LWB have requested bus manufacturers to install 3-point safety belts on all seats as a standard for new buses.
