With the only systems in revenue service for over 10 years, Protran Technology, in collaboration with several transit agencies, has developed a system to address one of the major types of bus accidents plaguing the industry: Buses colliding with pedestrians at crosswalks.

Safe Turn Alert 2.0

Safe Turn Alert 2.0 gives an audible and visual alert to pedestrians and cyclists at crosswalks when a bus is making a turn. The system also gives an audible voice alert to the bus operator to look both ways when making left or right-hand turns. The system is a passive system and comes on automatically without the bus operator’s interaction.

The system also has the option of flashing LED strobe lights that act as a visual warning to pedestrians and cyclists as the vehicle is turning.
