AI safety tech to improve long-distance bus travel.

SAAM Tourist has teamed up with Netradyne to add AI-powered fleet safety across its night sleeper coaches. The company will use Netradyne’s Driver•i platform to improve safety in its intercity buses, tourist buses, staff buses and even electric buses in the future. This step is taken at a time when bus operators are looking for more safety tools for long routes, especially for big 50-seater buses that run overnight.

SAAM Tourist has been running corporate, intercity and tourist transportation services since 2004. Their buses travel long distances at night, so keeping drivers alert is very important.

Earlier, it was difficult to catch risky habits like overspeeding or mobile phone usage in real time. The new Driver•i system now gives live information about these issues and shows signs of driver fatigue instantly. This helps reduce danger on highways and keeps passengers safer during overnight journeys.

Real-Time Driver Alerts and Coaching Tools

The Driver•i platform uses a camera-based system that watches driving behavior continuously. When a driver gets distracted or drives at dangerous speed levels, the system gives an in-cab alert.

Fleet managers at SAAM Tourist also receive detailed reports that show driver performance, risky moments and positive behavior. This allows better coaching, more accountability and safer operation of buses, including their staff buses and tourist buses.

Low-Cost, High-Safety Solution for Bus Operators

The platform works under a software-as-a-service model, meaning SAAM Tourist doesn’t have to invest heavily in hardware. They simply use the service and get full access to safety data. This makes the adoption easier for operators running many buses like premium sleeper coaches and 50-seater buses.

Netradyne’s Global Expertise Boosts Safety Standards

Netradyne is based in San Diego but has offices across Europe, Asia and North America. The company has studied more than 25 billion miles of driving data. With this knowledge, they provide safety tools to many transport companies around the world.

Their leadership team believes this partnership will help prevent road incidents before they happen, making it a proactive safety model instead of a reaction-based one.

SAAM Tourist Plans to Expand AI Safety to Other Bus Divisions

After the first round of installation, SAAM Tourist plans to bring this AI monitoring to tourist buses, electric buses and employee transport fleets as well. The company already has two decades of experience in intercity transport, school routes, luxury tours and corporate movement across South India.

This new tech upgrade shows they are now focusing strongly on safer buses and better driving standards.
