Radar specialist Bitsensing will collaborate with Korea Wide Group and its affiliates to launch a pilot project for an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) for commercial vehicles.
The firm will work specifically with Gyeongbuk Express and Jinan Express, both affiliates of Korea Wide, a major South Korean transportation company.
The initiative will begin by installing Bitsensing’s ADAS Kit in Korea Wide’s express, intercity and city buses to verify performance in real road environments.
The plan is to gradually expand the system to more than 500 buses.
The pilot operation will take place on routes in downtown Daegu, a city with a population of 120,000.
Data will be collected to evaluate detection accuracy, response speed and driver usability.
Bitsensing plans to use the data to further refine algorithms specialised for commercial vehicles and to expand the application of its technology to other vehicle types, including trucks and additional heavy-duty models.
The collaboration between bitsensing and Korea Wide combines an extensive national transportation network and real-time driving data with radar technology.
This partnership is expected to serve as a significant step toward the commercialisation of ADAS solutions for commercial fleets. Both companies plan to use the data collected from the pilot project to support digital transformation in the bus industry and to further enhance traffic safety initiatives.
Bitsensing’s ADAS Kit is a fully integrated sensor solution that combines radar, camera, and ADAS functionalities into a single package.
It maintains high perception accuracy and fast response times even in demanding commercial vehicle environments, enabling precise detection of vehicles, lanes, and pedestrians.
The system integrates a wide range of safety features, including forward collision warning, front vehicle start alert, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, lane departure warning, blind spot information and moving-off information functions.
The features help large buses safely navigate complex urban driving environments where sudden stops, lane departures and pedestrian encounters occur frequently.
Korea Wide Group operates city, intercity and airport limousine buses, as well as metropolitan routes and transfer hubs across major Korean cities.
With more than four decades of experience in public transportation, the group has been leading sustainable mobility innovation through its transition to electric buses and the adoption of data-driven fleet management systems.
“Through our collaboration with Korea Wide, Bitsensing’s radar-camera fusion technology will establish itself as a trusted and reliable safety solution for the commercial vehicle market,” said Jae-Eun Lee, CEO of Bitsensing.
“We believe this project will serve as a milestone for setting a new standard in the bus industry,” said Sang-Hoon Lee, CEO of Gyeongbuk Express.
