Annual Report 2024

55 2024 Annual Report Transport International Holdings Limited Driving Monitoring System (“DMS”) This monitoring device, mounted on the dashboard, uses image processing and advanced facial recognition technology to assess driver alertness. Early audio alerts and vibration warnings will be triggered and sent through the bus captain’s signs of fatigue or other abnormality, such as drowsiness, are detected. Electronic Stability Programme (“ESP”) The ESP is a crucial safety feature that helps prevent a bus from skidding or overturning while cornering or operating on slippery road surfaces. Safety Belts KMB and LWB have requested that bus manufacturers install 3-point safety belts on all seats as a standard feature for new buses, while Sun Bus has 2-point safety belts installed across its new fleet. Meanwhile, KMB has been retrofitting safety belts on some existing buses to provide better protection for passengers. AI Reversing Camera In mid-2024, NHKB (“Huang Bus”) launched a pilot programme to enhance service quality and driving safety by installing and testing AI reversing cameras on all buses. The AI cameras feature automatic recognition of human shapes, animals and vehicles, including bicycles and motorcycles, and provide real-time visual and audio alerts to assist bus captains during reversing. Advanced Driver Assistance System (“ADAS”) The device, installed on the lower front windscreen, uses image-processing technology to detect road obstacles ahead and calculate their distance. Early audio alerts and vibration warnings will be triggered when unsafe conditions are detected, such as when a collision is predicted, unless action is taken. Speed Limiting Retarder (“SLR”) SLR enhances the speed limiters of our fleets by automatically activating the brakes or retarder to prevent speeding when travelling downhill. The current speed limiters cut off the fuel supply to the engine once the speed limit is reached. Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (“TPMS”) TPMS is installed to allow bus captains to monitor tyre pressure in real-time. Visual and audio alerts will be triggered if the tyre pressure drops below a pre-set level. The majority of our bus fleet is equipped with this safety feature.
