When it comes to premiere tour bus safety, it comes down to the vehicle condition, age, maintenance, as well as in-vehicle equipment, such as an unimpeded emergency door, fire extinguisher, driving video recorder, rearview camera system, and tire-pressure monitoring system. There is an emerging trend and demand for connected vehicles as an expansion of our digital lives. Both drivers and passengers want safer, more efficient, and ultimately more enjoyable driving and riding experiences.
AMobile vehicle mount terminals using the IoT-800 were installed in the 300 tour buses in Northern Japan to enable safe and intelligent buses during trips. With vehicle data gathering, in-vehicle video surveillance, and bus infotainment, IoT-800 delivered required information to the dispatchers, drivers, and passengers, as well as made real-time communications between back-end dispatchers and front-end drivers. Oftentimes the tour bus went uphill and downhill while traveling around. IoT-800 not only assisted the drivers with directions but also helped the dispatchers with monitoring and management.
