The Cameras and Sensors section covers external cameras fitted to buses for safety purposes, such as reversing cameras and cameras to minimise driver blind spots. Sensors, such as obstacle detection sensors, assist drivers and keep road users safe. These technologies help reduce collisions, vehicle damage and injury to others. This section also covers off-vehicle cameras and sensors such as bus lane enforcement cameras and signal priority sensors. Browse this section to find suppliers who work in this area as well as the latest news associated with this field. We also have a separate CCTV & Surveillance section.

The suppliers in this section manufacture computers (the hardware) for the bus sector.

Driver assistance systems are technologies that help drivers with driving and parking operations. These systems are designed to increase the safety of vehicles by reducing collisions. Example features would be a system that alerts the driver to a possible obstacle or a lane-keeping assist. Driver assistance systems can be passive - merely issuing an alert, or active - actively intervening in the case of danger.

Driver monitoring systems are also known as driver attention monitors. These safety systems assess driver alertness and issue warnings to the driver if necessary. They can intervene further by applying the brakes. Driver monitoring systems are made of cameras that track the driver's face.
