Viação Santa Brígida partnered with Dahua Technology to improve the safety and efficiency of its bus fleet in São Paulo, Brazil.
According to Dahua, the integrated solution enables real-time monitoring, reduces blind spots, supports passenger counting and fare-evasion control and helps operators respond to incidents more effectively.
Overview
Viação Santa Brígida is a major operator serving São Paulo with a fleet of more than 650 buses.
To improve fleet supervision, passenger and driver safety, and operational visibility, the client partnered with Dahua Technology to deploy an intelligent mobile video surveillance and fleet management solution featuring onboard cameras, passenger counting, vehicle tracking and centralised real-time monitoring.
Challenges
Managing hundreds of buses operating across a densely populated metropolitan area requires continuous coordination and reliable access to operational information.
Viação Santa Brígida needed a more effective way to monitor its vehicles in real time and respond rapidly to incidents.
Limited visibility inside and around buses made it difficult for the company to verify events, identify potential safety risks and support drivers during daily operations.
Blind spots around large vehicles also presented a concern, particularly during passenger boarding, manoeuvring and interactions with pedestrians and other road users.
The company said that it also needed better tools to address fare evasion and monitor passenger movement.
Without centralised and accurate data, assessing vehicle occupancy, reviewing suspicious activity and identifying possible revenue losses could be time-consuming.
The final priority was improving the efficiency of fleet management.
Information from individual vehicles had to be consolidated and made readily accessible to the operations team, enabling managers to make faster, better-informed decisions.
Solutions
Dahua Technology said that supplying Viação Santa Brígida deployed an integrated mobile video surveillance solution combining strategically positioned onboard cameras, intelligent analytics, vehicle information and centralised management software.
