The Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation will conduct a demonstration test of an “AI-Powered Bus Interior Accident Prevention System.”
In collaboration with the Japan Bus Association and other organizations, AI will detect and assess passenger conditions using footage from cameras installed inside buses, along with vehicle speed and door opening/closing signals. When the AI determines that a situation is unsafe, it will provide seating guidance and safety alerts through announcements and monitor displays on behalf of the driver, while simultaneously notifying the driver with a warning on an indicator display in the driver’s seat.
The trial will run from October through November, with equipment manufactured by Tokai Rika installed on one bus. The main routes will be the Iidabashi 64 route (Otakibashi Bus Depot–Takadanobaba Station–Iidabashi–Kudanshita) and the Ueno 69 route (Otakibashi Bus Depot–Takadanobaba Station–Kasuga Station–Ueno Park).
