The turning assistant developed by Knorr-Bremse TruckServices and Intel company Mobileye increases road safety for vulnerable road users while assisting bus drivers employed by regiobus Hannover in their everyday work. Using computer-vision algorithms, ProFleet Assist+ reliably distinguishes between vulnerable road users and other objects, consequently minimizing the number of false alerts. After completing the installation training of their workshop personnel, regiobus Hannover is currently installing the retrofittable turning assistant on its buses. The regiobus Hannover bus company serves outlying areas in the Hanover Region with approximately 260 of its own buses plus another 130 vehicles operated by subcontractors.
“Smart driver assistance systems are helping our drivers cope with increasingly complex traffic situations, which is why regiobus relies on technical solutions that help avoid accidents. By opting for Knorr-Bremse’s total solution, we’re pleased to invest in a turning assistant solution with a convincing value proposition in terms of functionality and quality,” adds Elke van Zadel, regiobus managing director.
