Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) have proven highly effective in Nagpur, resulting in a significant 41% decrease in accidents involving Aapli buses. This technology, integrated to enhance urban transportation safety, has successfully minimised accident risks by providing real-time alerts and aiding drivers in navigating challenging road conditions.
