Proyecto SAFEBUS: Sistemas Avanzados de Seguridad Integral en Autobuses

It is well known from previous studies, that accidents of buses in urban scenarios, with low speed profiles, make necessary to introduce driving assistance systems. In this sense, this paper describes the results of the SAFEBUS research project “Sistemas Avanzados de Seguridad Integral en Autobuses”. It focuses in safety aspects proposing a system valid at low speed profiles, basically at bus stops. Here, we describe the main ideas exploited in the project and their results, that is, a people detection system together with a driving assistance system with audiovisual and haptic feedback. We also show some experiments and validations carried out at the facilities of Castrosua S.A. company.
