SMRT AI Control Centre Targets Driver Fatigue and Safer Bus Operations

By TLA AI Editor3 min read

Singapore, 28 August 2026 – SMRT has introduced an AI-powered bus control centre that can flag signs of driver fatigue, harsh braking and other operational risks, strengthening Singapore’s push to use data-driven systems in public transport. The initiative brings information from onboard cameras and telematics into a central operating environment where staff can identify exceptions, intervene and improve fleet-wide safety performance.

Driver-facing AI cameras can detect indicators such as microsleep, yawning, distraction and mobile-phone use. Visual and audio warnings alert bus captains, while recorded events allow control-centre personnel to check a driver’s condition before duties continue. Road-facing systems can also identify collision risks, lane departures, unsafe following distances and blind spots, giving operators a broader view of behaviour and external hazards.
