What led you to explore collision avoidance for your buses?

"We believe that continuous innovation is essential to better serve the communities in which we operate. Innovation offers the opportunity to meet emerging challenges in the public transport industry with solutions that take advantage of new developments and technologies.

Additionally, with 90% of all Australian crashes caused by minor mistakes such as distraction, fatigue or being slightly above the speed limit, the installation of Mobileye across the fleet of CDC Victoria and CDC NSW aims to minimise at-fault incidents, prevent collisions and injuries, and potentially save lives."ComfortDelGro Corporation Australia (CDC)

Tried and Tested

CDC Australia's parent company, ComfortDelGro Corporation Limited, is one of the largest land transport companies in the world, with headquarters in Singapore. A sister company in Singapore called SBS Transit, had extensively trialled and implemented Mobileye with 750 buses to be equipped in 2017. This enabled CDC to remain at the forefront of innovation by introducing a successful and known product to its fleets. In rolling out Mobileye’s technology and as part of international company ComfortDelGro, CDC will benefit from the larger group’s investment in and early adoption of the technology.

ComfortDelGro Corporation Australia (CDC) stated, "We believe that investment in technology is essential to meet emerging challenges in public transport. CDC is proud to be the largest bus company in Australia to adopt Mobileye."
